The Cat and the Fly: Eye Candy for Cat Lovers

| Print | By Jo Singer | August 19, 2009 2:17 PM

Simonscat, a hugely talented cartoonist and cat lover, creates some of the most hilarious feline-oriented videos on the internet. It is a pleasure to watch his work as Simonscat obviously appreciates the true essence of the Cat.

He manages to precisely capture those incredible antics for which our miniature predators are famous. I often wonder if he has been channeling one of his own cats, since he really seems to understand and is able to communicate feline behavior so magnificently.

The other day a friend sent me a link to Simonscat's most recent production. First uploaded to YouTube.com on July 24th, the video already has received over 1,432,266 views. I got such a kick out of the video that I was compelled to share it. I will almost guarantee that all your felinophiles out there will find it quite amusing even if you have already viewed it. This video has extensively been making the rounds.

What really tickled me the most was our cats' reaction to the demandingly plaintive vocalizations that Simonscat describes as, "a hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to catch a housefly", which were hilariously portrayed by the featured feline star, as he slowly became obsessed in his "hunt" for a tasty treat. Both cats' eyes were riveted to the screen, and Hush Puppy even raised a tentative paw to touch the screen, perhaps to lend some support to the frustrated kitty.

So sit back and relax for a couple of minutes and prepared for the delightful treat in store for you accompanied by an abundance of giggles.

Have you ever watched your cat on the prowl trying to catch unsuspecting prey? Leave a comment and share about the outcome.

The entire "Simon's Cat" series is uproariously funny, and this may just be the best one of all.

I really love the sound effects!

LOL how funny. I'm glad it was a cartoon. No real human could sleep through all of that.

I love Simon's stuff. No sex, no violence, no vulgarity - just hilarity.

I always watch one of Simon's cat videos if I need cheering up, they are absolutely brilliant.He is a great cat lover and gets his inspiration from his own 2 cats.

And I don't know why he swallowed the fly...etc..

OK now multiply that by 4 or more and you have my home. No critter will survive.

My Baby does that, too, and also with the two poor tree-frogs that got into our house. Then he brings it to me, drops it in my lap as if to say, "Meowmy? It stopped moving. Please make it move again!"

What is also funny is when there is a fly in the room and my dear hubby starts tracking it just like Simon's Cat!

ROFLMAO!!!! Looks, and sounds like CJ Sobol and Esther when they go after a fly!! BTW, my one dog Holly catches flies, too. But it's a bit different when a 50Lb Pitt/Collie mix goes flying through the house. LOL

Hi, these is the one which hope is the most funniest video of the cat ever seen. I can't stop my laugh when I think about what would happen to his master after the fly inside his stomach. That was the most funniest scene.
