Product Insights
The Orange Cat Clip by Simons is a 2.75-inch, plant-based biodegradable cellulose acetate hair clip that subtly channels the one orange braincell meme as a discreet fandom accent. Its flexible acetate teeth grip all hair types for a custom hold, and its smooth, compact design ensures all-day comfort. At CAD 15, it costs half the price of comparable cat-face claws while matching standard acetate clips. However, the clip scratches from metal, yellows in UV, clouds from chemicals, warps in humidity, and its springs corrode, requiring diligent care away from sunlight and moisture.

Theory connecting cat's aggression to car accident trauma
When we first see Simon he seems happy to meet Steve. Then he gets hit by a car as he tries to cross to Steve. Now he associates Steve with the pain of being hit by a car. That or he’s just an asshole Orange cat.
