Jen -

My condolences for your loss. It sounds as if Simon lived in a loving environment. He picked good people to share his life with.

@cherylcolan Simon *loved* that mouse. He was an expert at getting it down, and you can see from the vid. He’d bite through the string in a just few seconds every time. So the string got shorter and shorter and shorter. He loved a challenge and was always looking for something new to conquer. He had more focus and drive than any cat I’ve ever had.

@joshpaul and @robert Thanks so much for watching this and leaving a comment. It does mean so much to have a vlogosphere of friends.

@robert I’d forgotten all about this video until this past weekend when I was digging up xacti files. I think I was watching this Simon vid just after he died, before I knew. Funny how we “hear” each other. I’m glad I have this. So yes, go shoot some more video yourself today.

Simon! He reminds me of my mom’s cat Joshua, who was just the love of her life, and mine. Also bossy & pushy. Redheads.

Your little guy was so determined to get that mousie! I’m sorry Simon’s gone. I wish our little pals could stay with us longer.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It was great to hear your laughter, and I hope making/posting the video made you smile. I know you miss him.

So sorry to hear that, Jen.

He’s exactly the same colour and build as my cat, Peanut, who’s about eleven years old and much skinnier lately than he used to be.

Beautiful video and memory of Simon. Makes me realise I must take more footage of mine.
