Simon's Cat in 'Hidden Treasure'

This video is a cute animation courtesy of the simonscat channel on Youtube featuring a bachelor and his cat. Watch what happens as the man throws a ball for the cat to chase under the refrigerator.



I have to say that, although the animation is a bit primitive, it works for the video. I see this as an improvement on other cartoons, like Garfield, that also play off the theme of someone interacting with their pets.

I also checked out some of the other videos on the same Youtube channel while I was there, and they're all quite funny as well. Considering that the artist's Youtube channel has well over 100 million hits, I am guessing that the secret is already out. Still, it's nice to find another quality channel on Youtube for entertaining videos, even if I am the last one to find out about it.

I am also guessing that, with over 100 million channel views, the author has been well rewarded for his efforts. I think that the Youtube partners program, from what I've heard, averages something like two dollars per thousand views, so this guy should be making a healthy living off his animation.
