* AccidentalGoodOutcome: In one video, there are fireworks outside, which [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes both cats are afraid of]]. The kitten runs over to the easy-chair and accidentally pries two pieces off with his claws, but the pieces land in his ears, satisfying him since he can now no longer hear the fireworks. Then, he accidentally lies on the grown cat, satisfying him because the kitten is now covering his ears.

Wrong trope.


* InfantSiblingJealousy: The cat towards the kitten, in much the usual manner of an established pet coping with a new arrival. It doesn't help that the kitten is already noticeably smarter than his older 'brother', nor that the little guy is so fluffy and adorable Simon naturally dotes on him. Played with however, since they're not really brothers, and the kitten is weaned.

Dialed UpToEleven in the sequel, 'The Monster Returns', wherein Simon has upgraded to a central vacuum system. Both Cat and the Kitten must work together to shut its terrible tentacles back up in its closet...

* SilenceIsGolden: It's a cat, so it's not going to talk other than the usual meows, growls, trills, etc. Any speech from Simon is minimal and usually grunts or sighs, but occasionally he'll utter a word or two (usually "Come on!" or "Down!"). In "Window Pains", he actually utters a full sentence ("What're ya doin'?"), and in "Technical Hitch", he has a bit more spoken dialogue than ever before (justified as he's shown having a video meeting with his boss via laptop).

Each episode revolves around the adventures of the eponymous house cat, who uses increasingly heavy-handed tactics to get his rather hapless owner's attention. Over time the series has acquired an extensive supporting cast, including a tiny-but-feisty kitten 'brother' for the cat, several other feline and canine neighbours, the cat's best friend the (non-sentient) garden gnome and the menagerie of wild critters that live in the meadow beyond Simon's back garden.

** "Hounded", the second short in the "Pupsitting" trilogy, is essentially a full-on festival of this. Simon completely fails to recognize that the cat is lashing out at Muffin the pup out of sheer stress to the extent that the last scene is of Simon locking the cat outside, leaving him to watch dolefully through a window as his owner comforts and cuddles the interloper instead.

* KindheartedCatLover: Simon would have to be one, to tolerate the cat's shenanigans with such patience. Made explicit in the "Missing Cat" series, wherein he is genuinely heartbroken when the cat runs away, and is seen giving the kitten extra cuddles because of it.
