"Tofield's cartoons stand tall-hilarious, loving observations of a
privileged and bossy housecat...What elevates Tofield's simple but
expressive line drawings above the large litter of competing
kitties is his keen grasp of cartoon physics and comedy cat antics.
With a pitch-perfect pen, he captures the simple, realistic
acrobatics of cats tumbling with toys or gracefully stretching out
in the sun, and chronicles their adventures in pantomime stripes
that pit them against household objects, their owner, and each
other. Cat owners and aficionados will have several delighted "Yes,
cats really do that " reactions reading this."

""Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos" continues the tradition of
whimsically wordless, black-and-white cartoons about the antics of
the playful, pushy, and ever-hungry pet...Although "Simon's Cat in
Kitten Chaos" inevitably invites comparison to the popular
newspaper comic character Garfield (and "the world's cutest kitten"
Nermal), the wordless, often action-filled panels are quite
different in that they feature pure, rambunctious feline behavior,
as any cat owners can attest--any anthropomorphic elements (such as
the cat or the kitten pointing to their open mouths while hungry)
are just what real cats would do if they could The gentle humor of
"Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos" makes it a choice gift for cat lovers
everywhere."
