Simon's Cat encounters a patch of catnip and decides he likes this plant. This scenario seems so familiar to me as I have a catnip patch and it brings all the neighborhood cats to the yard. The cartoon cat is more expressive than mine, so we see the experience from his point of view. It's been a year or so since I've found a Simon's Cat video that was new and not too long, so I'm glad to share it.
Then I read the top comment from @cricketrox4ever. They got a cat 18 years ago and named it Simon after the cartoon.
I was 11 at the time and my mom said we’d only keep him until we found him a home. Simon was with me for 17 years. He went with me to college, moved with me 5 times, and lived to be and old man. He just passed last year.
Could that possibly be true? I went back in the archives and found that the first Simon's Cat video was posted here 18 years ago today. How coincidental is that?
