Wake Up Cat

By John Freeman on January 7, 2008

Often mis-titled ‘Wake Up Cat’, this bitter sweet but very funny animation (especially if you have cats) is by English animator Simon Tofield a friend sent me recently is actually titled ‘Cat Man Do’.

Tofield works for animation company Tandem Films, who recently did the Paddington Bear Marmite ads for UK TV.
