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.

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.
