Simon's Cat CAT
the cartoon cat token, all charm and no utility
🎭 a hand-drawn housecat who padded off the screen, found the blockchain warm, and decided to nap there
💬 “I spent years knocking things off your screen for a laugh. In August 2024 someone handed me a token, so now I knock things off the blockchain instead. Same cat, new playground. 🐾”
- A meme coin wearing the face of Simon's Cat, the famous hand-drawn cartoon with billions of online views.
- Unusually for a meme coin, it is officially licensed: Banijay Group, which owns the cartoon, signed a deal to put it on a token.
- Aug 2024: launched on BNB Chain through the TokenFi launchpad, later expanded to Solana.
- Supply is capped at 9 trillion CAT. It runs no chain of its own, it borrows security from the chains it lives on.
📖 The Story
Simon's Cat began on paper, not on a chain. Illustrator Simon Tofield drew a greedy, lovable white housecat and animated its hungry schemes into short films that gathered billions of views and millions of fans. For most of its life the cat had nothing to do with money. It was just a cartoon people adored.
August 2024. The cat crossed over. Banijay Group, the media company that owns the Simon's Cat rights, agreed to license the brand to a token, with the deal handled through Banijay Rights and built by a Web3 agency called Anonymous Labs. That backing matters: most meme coins borrow a famous face without permission, while this one had the actual rights-holder signing the paperwork. The launch went out on BNB Chain through the Floki ecosystem's TokenFi launchpad, and reported trading volume topped 600 million dollars in the first three days.
December 2024. Binance picked CAT as the fifth project in its HODLer Airdrop program, handing roughly 1.14 trillion CAT to people who held BNB, then listed the token for trading the next day. To keep prices readable, the exchange lists it as 1000CAT, where one quoted unit stands for a thousand coins.
None of this taught the cat a single new trick. It does not power apps or settle payments. What it offers is the same thing it always did: a well-loved face, a charity tie to Cats Protection, and a crowd that finds it charming. Meow.
📊 Stats
🧩 How it works
Simon's Cat is a meme coin with no blockchain of its own. It started life as a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain and later bridged to Solana, so it simply lives as an entry on chains other projects built and secured. That is why it has no consensus rules to explain: it inherits whatever security its host chain already provides.
🌗 Light & Shadow
- A real, beloved brand behind it, the cartoon has billions of views and a huge built-in fan base
- Officially licensed from the rights owner, Banijay Group, which is unusual and lowers the risk of a sudden takedown (deal announced August 2024)
- Strong launch and reach: backed by the TokenFi launchpad, a Binance airdrop and listing, plus a donation tie to Cats Protection charity
- Zero utility. It powers nothing and solves no technical problem, the price rests entirely on brand and mood
- It runs on borrowed chains, so it has no technology of its own to fall back on if interest fades
- Brand goodwill is not the same as a healthy token: a meme coin can hold a famous license and still drift far below its launch hype
🧬 Evolution lineage
Simon's Cat is not a fork of any coin, it is a standalone IP token. Its family is a launchpad family, not a code family: it was born through TokenFi in the Floki ecosystem, then spread across two chains.

❓ FAQ
- What is Simon's Cat (CAT)?
- A meme token tied to the 'Simon's Cat' cartoon, the hand-drawn series by Simon Tofield with billions of online views. It solves no technical problem, its value comes from the brand and the community around it.
- Is the cartoon really behind this coin?
- Yes, it is officially licensed. Banijay Group owns the Simon's Cat IP, and in August 2024 it signed a deal with Anonymous Labs to put the brand on a token. That official backing is rare for a meme coin.
- Does Simon's Cat have its own blockchain?
- No. It launched on BNB Chain in August 2024 through the TokenFi launchpad, then expanded to Solana. It borrows the security of those chains rather than running one of its own.
- How many CAT tokens are there?
- The supply is capped at 9 trillion CAT. Some has been burned, so the total is a bit lower. Because that number is huge, Binance lists it as '1000CAT', where one unit equals 1,000 CAT, so prices read at a normal scale.
