While patrolling his territory, Simon's Cat dips into the lives of the many dogs in his neighbourhood, including crazy poodles, a lovestruck bulldog and a pack of mischievous puppies. With characteristic style and wit, Simon Tofield's brilliantly observed illustrations capture the comical capers of different dog breeds, and some a-meow-sing encounters with their feline counterparts.

Irish Times praises Tofield's cartoons for capturing the pure comic essence of cat behaviour, such as their relentless focus on trivial pursuits and unique mannerisms that blend determination with boredom.
