Simon says...

Since Aunt Jen (Bowman) pointed out that Alice is the only Land cat she's met, we're going to do introductions here. Biscuit's was first (see escape artist post). Now we'll have a quick update from Simon.

Simon was named for Simon LeBon. He and his brothers were about 6 weeks old and semi-wild when they showed up on our mom's patio. He was the friendliest, so he was named for the lead singer of Duran Duran (because of the song Wild Boys).

Simon is scared of most people, but he actually likes everyone. Even the people he's scared of. He especially loves his Mummy, and he's friends with the Man and McKenzie. And he LOVES other cats. That's him with Alice at left -- he loves his Alice -- and Biscuit below. He and Flynn spar like brothers.

He's also very fond of Zip, whom he considers to be his dog. Scared, but very fond.

Simon's real brother, his littermate Dash, lives in Birmingham with the Land cats' grandparents. Does that make Dash his brother's uncle? That makes our heads tired.

Simon's nicknames are the Monkest (he's monkey-like at times) and the Manlet. We also call him Little Man and Small Boy. (He spends a lot of time feeling a bit embarassed.)
