The Real Life Cats of Simon Tofield, Creator of ‘Simon’s Cats’

Simon Tofield, the Simon behind Simon’s Cat, talks about his real life cats and describes how each of their personalities helped him develop the quirky disposition of Simon’s demanding but lovable cartoon cat. This photo of Simon’s cat Teddy in his suitcase, makes it abundantly clear that Mr. Tofield will never run out of inspiration as long as these delightful little kitties are around.
