Caturday Blogging: Spend Valentine’s Day with Simon’s Cat (Or Your Cat)

As Valentine’s Day approaches and we ignore the merits of a holiday based on love and affection, we give attention to the most loving animals around: Cats.

It’s that time of year again. Suddenly, everything turns pink and there are flowers everywhere. People come up and ask you what your special plans are. Of course, if you’re like me, you immediately start with your contrarian speech about what a fake holiday Valentine’s day is and how you lucky you are to be with someone who shares your values. But some people do like Valentine’s Day —  like Ashton Kutcher — and a lot of people are still looking for love.

Like Simon’s Cat.

As you will see in the video below, Simon’s cat believes that the easiest way to get a girl is to bring her food. (I mean, he’s not wrong.) But that doesn’t pan out the way he wants and hilarity ensues.

Watch below:

Of course, if you thought that was cute, then you absolutely need to watch this behind-the-scenes video. Basically, Simon Tofield gives us a good look at what it takes to bring these masterpieces to life. Admittedly, I didn’t realize how much work goes into it or that Simon’s Cat had its own office!

Check it out below and prepare to be amazed:

And just for giggles, I give you “Dinner Date.” In this video, Simon’s cat helps him unpack the groceries. The video ends when the cat faces one of the feline’s sworn enemies and fiercest foes, the cucumber.

(I haven’t tried to scare my cat with a cucumber yet, but it looks like a fun thing to do.)

Here’s “Dinner Date: Starters”:

Obviously, it doesn’t matter whether you’re for or against the entire concept of Valentine’s Day. What it boils down to is how you treat people and your loved ones just in general. Sometimes, it’s nice just to bring them a rat every now and again.
