Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos by Simon Tofield-Enter to Win!

Cody and I are proud to be among a vast array of bloggers who have presented you with the opportunity to win a copy of Simon Tofield's latest book: Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos.

For the one or two people who DON'T know who Simon Tofield is, he is an award-winning illustrator, animator and director at Tandem Films in London.

He has earned fame from his frolicsome and spot-on sense of feline behavior in his short films. His films have now earned him over 280 million views on YouTube!

Now, in addition to the "adorable but anarchic feline" we all love in his videos and books, Simon has added a cuddly new addition to the family, "Simon's Kitten!" The kitten is half the size of Simon's Cat, appears to be sweet and innocent but is actually "double the trouble!"

Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos is the third of his book series.

Cody and I loved that along with illustrations and humor that never ceases to delight, Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos features 16 pages of exclusive "How-To" drawings and a removable full-color sticker sheet!

FROM THE PUBLISHER: Tofield captures the idiosyncrasies of these creatures that cat lovers know all too well! It's all about subtle gestures, body language and posturing (tails up! eyes wide! paws out!) as they go about their daily existence, vying for food, attention, and a good place to nap.

Since Simon's Cat is all about the illustrations and there are no language barriers, we are GIVING AWAY ONE COPY OF Simon's Cat In Kitten Chaos TO TWO OF OUR READERS, LOCATED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! (A $16 value)

The give-away is open NOW and will end on MONDAY, JUNE 24TH AT 5PM EST.

HOW TO ENTER: LEAVE A COMMENT telling us what your favorite Simon's Cat video is AND be sure we have an email address for you, should you be one of the lucky winners! COMMENTS THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26TH.

GOOD LUCK!

Happy Father's Day 2013!

Today is a special day! It's Father's Day!!! For all of you great "Cat Daddies" out there, I hope your day is extra special!!

I love my Dad and wanted to share my most favorite photo of us, it was taken when I was just a little guy! Aren't we just too cute together?

Then, I was pussy-footing around YouTube and found this hilarious video. My Mom was too ~~leery~~ cheap to have one made for me, so I will have to let this kitty send MY Father's Day wishes to my Dad. It may not be me singing, but the sentiment is sure the SAME!

So, even if you can't pill me, I love you Dad just the same!!
Happy Father's Day to YOU and to all of the humans out there who view themselves as "Cat Daddies", have a CATABULOUS DAY!

Love,
Cody
