Meet Simon's Cat creator Simon Tofield



To mark the launch of a new range of Simon's Cat pet products from Sharples & Grant, visitors to PATS Sandown will be able to meet the creator of the amazing internet phenomena Simon Tofield.

The British animator will be appearing live on the Sharples & Grant stand (number H9) between 11am and 2pm on the second day of PATS (Wednesday, March 20).

Visitors will be able to see the new range of Simon's Cats pet products, which Sharples & Grant are producing under licence from Zodiak Rights, and receive a signed poster or placemat.

Retailers who place an order for eight different Simon's Cat items to the minimum value of £100 will be given one each of the three Simon's Cat dog toys absolutely free!

Those pet shops which cannot visit PATS can still take advantage of this special offer by calling 01704 550044 to. Offer ends 12 noon on Friday, March 22, and terms and conditions apply.
