Product Insights
The Playful Cat Clip by Simons merges the authentic charm of Simon's Cat—true-to-life animation and creator-voiced cat sounds—with a functional acetate hair clip that securely holds both thick and fine hair without slipping or weighing down, maintaining clamping tension through elastic recovery and a stable grip. Its flat printed cat face adds negligible weight, resists dirt and scratches, and is easy to clean. The tradeoff is heat sensitivity: the acetate can warp under blow dryers or hot water, requiring careful handling.
Verified claims
- Fit
- The clip is sold in one size, calibrated for average adult hair sections—neither too dainty for everyday use nor so large that it overpowers finer hair.
- Motif weight
- Flat printed cat face adds negligible weight compared to a 3D sculpted ornament.
- Grip stability
- The acetate clip's density gives it noticeable weight that helps it sit securely in the hair without constantly sliding.
- Elastic recovery
- Acetate clip flexes elastically to maintain clamping tension over time.
- Heat sensitivity
- Can warp under high heat; avoid blow dryers and hot water.
- Care instructions
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately.
- Print care
- The clip's elastic flexing avoids micro-fractures, so the printed cat pattern is less likely to be scratched by sharp edges during wear.

Behind the scenes: how cat sounds are made
Hi Simon here! I make all the cat sounds myself. My friend Russell helps me record them and he does all the foley (sound effects) for the films.
