A four month old orange shorthair stray followed me home. At first I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep him so I let him stay in the yard and left him milk. I had a swing sofa on the back porch with a tarp over it and he made it his tent. Every morning I opened the screen door he would jump out demanding food. Some days later I was having lunch and he climbed up the screen door. When he got to about 5 feet high he spread eagled himself and starred at me like a Garfield window cling. I had to let him in. He lived it up on fresh tuna, scallops, shrimp and Temptations/Friskies treats and grew up to be a big boy with the silkiest fur and wettest nose. He was loved every day for 16 years and gave me plenty of worries. I lost him 15 days ago to kidney disease. On his last morning he woke up next to me and put his paw on the back of my hand and smiled, as if to say “thank you and goodbye”. He was my soulmate. His very last scratch scar is disappearing from my arm. I miss my friend terribly.

When we brought our newly adopted cat home he wouldn't come out of his cage for hours. Then suddenly in the evening he climbed on the bed and snuggled next to us. He'll always be the best decision we made!

I remember having my first time at a house full of kittens and the owner said 'you don't want that one, he's the runt' and the vets said 'he'll only live half a year' well we had sixteen wonderful years together and lots of memories to share

You know he’s a proper Cat Person when he deliberately picks the assholiest cat he can find.

The fact the Titanic model broke and sank like the real ship is more hilarious than it should have been haha But yes, this is definitely how adopting a cat starts

Typical cat person...Goes head over heels for the only one who shows disinterest at first. 😂😂😂

This one was an emotional roller coaster, poor cat was abandoned, thank goodness Simon came along. I absolutely love these things, they just brighten my day.

*I love the fact that Simon‘s cat is a rescue and the one that noone wanted…. that is the animals I always go for 😍*

Saw his ship models & thought, “Those will be destroyed in minutes of him getting the cat.” LMAO when it happens too.

This made me tear up! Even difficult cats deserve a chance - we didn't stroke our first rescue for 18 months and she got kicked out of 2 catteries for bad behaviour when we were on holiday. Took patience but we had the best 17 years with her

The way the model of the Titanic 'sank' just like it did in the real world. The creator clearly does love his naval history! And cats! A man after my own heart.

I still remember watching the very first "Simon's Cat" animation when I was very young... Now I'm an adult. It warms my heart to see this channel still makes animations.

that part in the beginning when he looks at the picture of himself and his old cat just hurts too much.

The saddest part for me is when people think that a cat deliberately turning its back on you is blanking you. Deliberately turning its back on you is the most polite way a cat can ask for your attention. It is their highest form of devotion. And it is so sad that humans mistake it for indifference.

I adopted the two kittens no one wanted because one had deformities and the other didn't like people. I wish I could show a picture how cute they grew up to be.

I had a tiny tear in my eyes when he went back in the cage, all sad and then came out with that squeaky toy. :')

Simon: Going to the shelter and ignoring the friendly, normal kittens, in favor of the most anti-social and hyperactive kitten available. Also: Me.

I grew up on Simons cat (both the comics and animations) and now have my own kitty so it’s so cool to see the franchise still going strong! The cat accidentally destroying the boats but making it alright again with a purr and a little head butt is so accurate. They could get away with murder

I admit it, I cried a bit during this! Bringing home a furry overlord is just like this. And as the pictures showed the passage of time, I realized it doesn't matter how much time you have with them, how much fun there is, one day they'll be gone. It doesn't stop hurting.

the Titanic reference gets me every time 😂 this is SUCH a lovely video. so glad you gave this baby a chance 🥰❤

Just a head butt and a purr and all is forgiven.

I love how credits show the original photo gradually getting more and more mangled, showing that the cat kept showing it off the mantle until he eventually came to terms with it. Such nice little details

I am an adult but I still watch Simon's cat in morning during breakfast and after stressful work in the evening. It helps me to calm down soooo much!!!

I loved how the frame with the previous cat was getting more and more damaged over the time.

Blessings to everyone who adopts the overlooked. 🥰

After nearly seventy years of sharing space with feline tyrants, I can wholly endorse the veracity of these amusing episodes! Thank you so much for making them available! Very much appreciated!

So true! The destruction of property, being woken up by zoomies at 4am, the disgusting smells and noises are all forgotten with that first little purr and snuggle on your lap! 😻

That moment when Simon thinks hes going to finally get some affection from the cat and then it points to its mouth and meows for the first time is priceless 😂😂😂

Being German: The language of cats is international. And the language of cat owners too. They are frustrated by/with their cat, but yet so in love and happy with them. You never own a cat - the cat owns you.

The way the frame of Simon's Boyhood photo gets worse and worse with every addition is a stroke of genius with the cat constantly knocking it over :') Amazing work

Brilliant!!! So real and the Titanic like ship breaking and “sinking” like it did was very clever.

When Simon's house looked normal, clean, sane, intact 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omg, the eyes when he peed, the butt wiggle at the end. So stinkin cute, but the beginning made me want to go to my local shelter, and that would be a bad thing. I'd want them all. ❤️💔😻💘😿

Simon is so accurate about how young cats behave 🤣 I have a mo old and she drives me crazy 🤪 but I love her very much.

Found mine in a dumpster 4 years ago. Abigail is living the good life now.

Moment of silence for all the couches this cat has ruined.

The squeaky bird doing the „staircase to the basement“ got me really good! :‘D

I think we've all been through the opening of every flavor of cat food, only for the cat to return to the first option when it gets hungry enough!

Not sure how I missed this one, I love all the Simon's Cat videos. I love cats and dogs, I am not allowed in pet stores because I get too emotional and want to take them all home. This video almost killed me though when he realized Simon was upset and he went back into the cage like he expected to be taken back to the shelter again.

My most recent rescue took two years to open up and it is worth every second for the day a traumatized cat decides your lap is the safest place in the world. She's my princess and I love her.

Definitely support the 'adopt, don't shop' mentality. Our cat was decreed to be a problem cat (adopted out twice before us, returned twice with 'behavior problems') and she had a behavior rap sheet that spread over 4 pages of biting people that stuck their fingers in her cage, along with health problems from the cramped conditions. We went to see her twice (found her through an adoption page), and finally got to see her in person the second time around since she was in the clinic the first time. Immediately asked to see her, and we sat in the 'testing' room not touching her or smothering her with attention, simply watching what she did (hardest thing to do in my life). She quickly walked around the perimeter and sat in each of our laps for a few minutes. We walked out of the adoption center with her ten minutes later. Edit: Forgot to mention that she didn't have any behavior issues. She hated kids, and both previous families had them. We suspect the kids were treating her poorly or stressed her out too much, hence the defensive biting and scratching.

5:50 i like his eyes when he peed

I remember when I first brought home Sassy she really didn't want anything to do with us because she was busy exploring. The best thing to do with a cat or kitten when you bring it home is leave it alone to explore and find it's boundaries. especially rescues.

Written and created by a true cat person. Mine is insulted that her picture is not here instead of my dog’s. Of course!

Tip: Don't let him find the baseball bat.

I had a cat Buddy for 12 years who continually scratched and bit me when overstimulated, but he was such a fun boy most of the time. And I was so very sad when he became paralysed after a fall off the bathroom cabinet and had to be euthanised 3 weeks later, despite many attempts to help him. RIP Buddy, you gave me many moments of fun and love!

Не могу оторваться! Смотрю и смотрю про этого шкодного кота и супердоброго и терпеливого хозяина. Все как в жизни! Котики дарят уют и радость, но и манипулировать умеют замечательно)))

I have a black cat. I didnt adopt him, he adopted me. I didnt go to the shelter, I was getting home after a family get-together, and out comes this little guy from the shadows with the most demanding little meows, i scooped him up and brought him inside, I fed him, but didnt have the intention of keeping him. I tried to take him back outside. But he wouldnt leave, just hopped up onto my end table knocked a few things over and just took a nap..... on it. He gave me a side eye as i came back in, when i sat down to think, he hops up curls up in my lap, did his little headbutt thing. I never felt so.........appreciated, I just cried and cried, and we just kinda cuddled. And a year and a half later, I still absolutely adore my cat.

Simon's Cat always brings a smile to my face and usually a giggle or three will slip out too, even on the most dire of days. Thanks for that. I actually teared up when he was put in the cage on his own and his little sad stance and face.. More because it makes me think of all the kitties (and dogs,) who are literally in this position. And honestly, I could really relate to the first evening after bringing them home and they want nothing to do with you, or your food, or any of the toys you got in prep for them and you feel a little deflated and kinda give up and just let them be while we nurse our egos for a bit, lol! And then when that moment comes (maybe hours, days, weeks or even years for some,) when they suddenly decide "OK hooman, you'll do. You can love me and I'll let you pet me sometimes, and I might even like it. You may serve me," is special. LOL And on that note, I must go serve her her dinner..again. (She likes little but often don't you know?) She's been in my face the whole time watching this and now typing and I can tell you, she ain't happy! Oops...Too long, jumped down off sofa in disgust, flopped onto floor looking into nothingness wondering will she ever be satiated again?! ...

So after 9 years my dog sadly passed away due to kidney failure and I was so lost. But recently I adopted a 3 year old black cat and I feel like I'm going through this cartoon right now. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I can't even begin to explain how much my cat means to me. I treasure his company, he's always there when I'm down. If I didn't have a cat during lockdown, I would have probably lost my mind. I know I sound like the crazy cat lady but it's so nice to know that there is a little creature in the world who relies on you and you are important to him/her.

The rise of Simon Cat .

Awww when he tries to cheer up simon with the squeak toy, too cute.

This channel always makes me smile, no matter what. ❤ I have a 14 year old fluffy cat, still trying to hide between recently ironed clothes, jumping on the table and mewing to get combed, still staring sharply at me beside the bowl when it’s half empty, still have company in the toilet specially if just arrived home, still snuggling with me every night before sitting on the beds feet. Still resting in my lap while I have breakfast.

At the end credits you can see the gradual destruction to the photo frame with the other cat. In the end it is held together by duct tape, lol. None of the other photos have a single blemish or damage

The pure cuteness of the cat when he rubbed against Simon though -

They need to make scratching posts that look like sofas

Так вот как кот попал к Саймону! Это была любовь с первого взгляда!🥰 в одностороннем порядке😀

I still love how this is animated with only slight exaggeration of an actual cat lol

This video brought tears to my eyes. It brought back the memory of a little black kitten, with yellow eyes, who showed up at my doorstep and didn't want anything to do with me and ended up staying for 18 years and becoming my best friend forever. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos over the years.

This reminded me so much of our rescue cat Nero. Unwanted, missing an ear, very nervous and unloved and all that time he just wanted a loving family. Now he's king of the castle and sooo loved.

My current duo were rescued half-grown from an iffy shelter, and have had a few issues with trust etc. But we're proud to announce that we took the chance, and they are now cuddlebugs, and one loves to watch Simon's Cat!

Totally tugs at my heartstrings 😢😊

Oh my that empty-void look they get on their face....you just know they are making a mess where they aren't supposed to. This just warms my heart so much, as it reminds of the first time I brought my kitten home. Such sweet memories.

We took in a kitten that was passed around because of bad behavior, he lived with us 19 wonderful years! Best decision ever :)

"We are not made of atoms insted we are made of stories" And this is a beautiful story.

That little titanic reenactment was gold

So wholesome! My cat wasn't friendly in the shelter either, she was previously feral and had been in there three years! Now she sleeps under the covers with her head on my pillow.

My cat pooped on my dad the first day we brought her home. This brings back so many memories.

100% Certified Cat attitude! Was the last broken ship supposed to replicate the Titanic sinking? I love this Cat!

These meows are so genuine! This channel is one of my favourites! ❤️

At the end, I like how the photo of Simon's previous cat gets more and more wrecked as time goes by.

Watching the origins story makes me reminisce about the past when Simon's cat first came into the world in 2008. It's still heartwarming and funny.

First thing I noticed was how I never saw those ships before, and I knew immediately there would be a reason. X3

I laughed so hard when the kitten peed on Simon’s shoulder. The look on the kitten’s face! 🤣

I'm starting to question if an iceberg or a cat ruined the Titanic.

❤❤❤❤ I'm getting a new kitten tomorrow, and looks like it may be the same story XD I' saw him at vet yesterday and there is the same sign of no touching, but I'm gonna win him with love and affection :P can't wait even though I'm a little apprehensive.

Such a patient person, it's great that the cat decided to wise up after realizing how miserable Simon was due to his bad behavior.

Die Abschlussszene mit den Fotos- eine einzige Liebeserklärung an Katzen und das Leben mit ihnen.

I am allergic to cats; however, I thoroughly enjoy these cartoons, especially this one. The followup photo scenes in the closing makes this story even more endearing.

4:22 is literally me every time a kitten I’m fostering or rescue shows interest in their litter boxes, most don’t get it at first I’ve had a couple use it as a bed at first and one even eating the litter sand and getting mad it didn’t taste good xD gosh i just love these videos so much i feel them in my heart

Jeez, his cat sure was a little stubborn guy when he was kitten XD

This one unwanted cat started a KZfaq channel with over 6M subscribers and brought all of us together to enjoy it. Animals and especially pets have so much impact on the world's society.

What's really funny is it was a model of the Titanic and it split exactly the way historians speculate. All because of Simon's cat, of course. :)

Simon at least chose his guy, my cat just walked in the apartment and stayed and that is how i got a cat

This cat is sooooooo cute where do I get this talent for animating such cool things like story's like this

My favourite 'one kitten demolition team' moment is our Fangs running up the curtains on the inside and abseiling with strips of the ancient cotton lining..epic carnage

Simon: Has Nice Things Simon: Gets a Cat

Going to a rescue or SPCA is so difficult because of all the wanting faces not going to a happy home. At least some like Simon's Cat get that.

Just love this stuff. All the Simon's Cat cartoons are WONDERFUL.

This makes me laugh. I understand this. I was in pet smart looking for supplements for the dog and in the dog section I hear this banging on the glass. I turn around and this cat was yelling at me. Anyway I folded and took him home he was 8 months or so they thought.. Turns out he is a rare breed of Siamese called a flame point. But our first week he literally grabbed my whole head with claws. I had to swat him, but now he is my bubbie and probably weighs 19 pounds.

Hey! Just wanted to suggest y’all to adopt the oldest dog/cat in the shelter. You have no idea of much they need it & they’re the sweetest ever!🥺🥺

Sometimes it takes longer than that, my Nico took 5 years and my heart attack before he became cuddly.

Yup. I just adopted a young cat about 2months ago. She’s a “high maintenance” cat with a strong will…like Simons cat. But, ya gotta love ‘em!

Am I the only one that cried watching this ??😿❤❤❤🐾😭

All of my cats over my 60 years moved in....I had no choice in the matter apart from my first from Cat home in Surrey....cats are the best I love Simons cat because his antics...all cat staff have been there! Thank you Simon xx

Omg Simon's cat is SO cute I adore him !💜🐈🦊💙🐱🐺❤😺💕

1:38- Could that be BABY JAZZ?! I notice the design and color scheme look the same as the one in the Jazz Trilogy! So cute kittens through! :3

Ohhhh little Simon is so cute. 🥰

*2 mins in* ah yes, the hobby of collecting miniature ships and raising a cat is the two perfect hobbies that will go in harmony
