Hi everyone,
Today we are looking at the latest Simon’s Cat book – Off to the Vet:
Simon’s Cat is back and he’s facing every feline’s worst nightmare . . . a trip to the vet
In the last seven years, Simon’s Cat has become a global phenomenon. What started out as a one animation in 2008, has now grown to a massive brand, with eight books, over forty animations, and a vast range of Simon’s Cat merchandise. With over 3 million subscribers and over 680 million views on You Tube, and a dozen major industry awards, Simon’s Cat has captured the hearts of a worldwide audience.
In this brand new book we see Simon’s Cat face any feline’s most dreaded scenario – he’s off to the vet. And he’s not at all happy about it. Sharing its theme with the first ever full colour Simon’s Cat feature animation, funded by a record-breaking IndieGoGo campaign due to be released in Spring 2016, Simon’s Cat: Off to the Vet will be packed with over 240 pages of hilarious new gags featuring our favourite furry friend and his companions – both old and new.

More about the author:
SIMON TOFIELD is an award-winning animator and cartoonist. He has had a lifelong interest in animals, beginning as a child, when his uncle gave him a plastic pond which quickly filled with wildlife. Simon was given his first cat when he was nine and now has four rescue cats, who are the mischievous inspiration for his work. He has been working as a 2D animator and designer for over fifteen years, and has worked on a diverse range of high-profile productions, including advertising campaigns for Marmite ‘Paddington Bear’ (DDB London) and Microsoft ‘Rugby’ (McCann Erickson London). As an animator, Simon developed his distinctive approach to character-based, observational comedy and developed an unusual technique by drawing on the digital tablet in a freehand way and creating the animation with a flowing, ‘straight-ahead’ approach which distinguishes the Simon’s Cat films from other animations.

I just love Simon’s cat! I have a postcard calendar for Postcrossing – with Simon’s cat cartoons.
😀
I’m in love with Simon’s cat videos! Will definitely give his book a try ?
It’s great! And we backed their Kickstarter for it so I’ve also got a Simons cat plush. Will have to show that one off at some point.
Ooh Simons plush!! I want it too !! Lol You gotta put its pic on your blog ?
I will 😀 it was a special limited edition from the Kickstarter campaign. 🙂
Kara always behaved at the vets, MM didn’t. MM used to wedge herself in the back of the basket. It was the same vet as Kara used to see.
Both of ours are luckily calm at the vet. In fact Oliver loves the vet office… It’s got a fish tank =.=. He always jumps off his table once he is done to climb on top of the tank. The vet finds it amusing. I fear for the guppies. Poor things must get an heart attack LOL
Nubia is so adorable!!!!
