After an unfortunate encounter in the garden, Simon’s Cat goes to great lengths to avoid an imminent visit to the vet. As always, the question remains - will his long-suffering owner Simon step up to the challenge?
After a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2014 to make a longer film, ‘Simon’s Cat: Off to the Vet' became the first 12 minute Simon's Cat film to be produced in full colour.
A HUGE thank you to all our Indiegogo Supporters. This film would not have been possible without you!
‘Simon’s Cat: Off to the Vet’ has screened at multiple film festivals around the world and was awarded The McLaren Award for Best British Animation at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2016.

FAQs:
Q. What's the background of 'Off to the Vet'?
A. ‘Off to the Vet’ film production and crowdfunding campaign was a huge undertaking for the Simon’s Cat Team. Our hope is to produce more long form, full colour content for our fans but without having to turn to them through crowdfunding again. The film was completed in 2015 and submitted it to a selection of international film festivals over the following months. During this time, it was exclusively available to all funders that contributed via our private production blog. The feedback we have received from our funders has been overwhelming positive and we hope they are extremely proud of making the film a possibility. If you are a funder and have any questions regarding the campaign, please contact us at igg@simonscat.com
Q. What software do you use?
A. Simon's Cat is made using Adobe Flash / TV Paint / CelAction animation software.
Q. Why does it take so long to make each Simon's Cat film?
A. Even though the films are made on computer software, they are still hand-animated in a traditional manner, frame to frame. It usually takes between 12 and 25 drawings to create 1 second of a Simon's Cat film.
Q. Where can I buy Simon’s Cat merchandise?
A. You can purchase Simon's Cat products from the official webshop: shop.simonscat.com/

Exatamente kkkkkkkkkk muito bom!
HI, I'm a vet. The trouble with this film is, after a bee sting, one foot would be twice the size of the other three and the cat would be limping. Cute film, though, as always! :)
Me encanta!!! Lo amo
Уууууууууууу Уууууууууууу
U can truly tell the creator of this cartoon really loves cats. He captured the silliness of the cat perfectly, and the loving attributes of the owner, all of this film was extremely well done. Major kudos. Keep on doing what your doing.
The cats are based on his own cats.
Simons cat needs his own cartoon show on television! Like if you agree! ❤️
Emily McPhedran you're beautiful
Emily McPhedran I agree!!! I would watch it all day!
I would love that, it would cheer me up every day ! 💕
Absolutely. I adore this cartoon. For too long we have needed someone who actually knows the comedy of living with cats to do a cartoon. Garfield was good, but Simon's Cat is better. More realistic.
Emily McPhedran As great as it would be, it might get too stressful for him. Quality over quantity. I'm satisfied with the short vids.
This is the REALITY of living with a cat! Every detail 😂
Hahahaha
This guy is really a cat person. The mannerisms, the guy trying to get the cat in the crate, the way the cat refuses to come out of the crate at the vets, the howling in the crate to the vets and then his abject exhaustion once he gets home. This is my life with cats.
Simon the creator really makes his cartoon self relatable to his audiences, who are cat people themselves.
This is my life with cats too lol. He is definitely a cat person.🥰
I think anyone who's ever owned a cat knows the frustration and embarrassment of having to make a trip to the vet. Preplanning is always necessary for the trip to the vet - and hoping there isn't a room full of dogs looking for playtime.
Dark- I thought that was the funniest and most accurate part- my cat meowing constantly and very forlornly all the way to AND from the vet, then mad at me for the rest of the day.
Me too, but they're all worth it. 😂
As a veterinary technician and owner of four cats, this is relatable on so many levels 😆

Absolutely nailed it, I laughed so hard. From trying to confine the cats inside subtley to trying to get them into the carrier to the vet experience and the shock of the vet bill. Been through it so many times. And the cat yelling the whole ride. How Simon looks driving the car is how we always felt. Always so stressful.
Thank god my boys are quiet in the car. They’ll cry once or twice and then that’s it.

Genius comic. Every cat "owner" can relate.
Absolutely . . . . Been there , done that , and got the scratches to prove it
I've watched a lot of Simon's Cat, but this is my favorite so far. So relatable! Cat licking his sore, hiding when Simon gets sneaky, using treats as a lure, the fight to get in the carrier, loud meows on the drive to the vet, perfectly accurate vet routine, etc. Pure gold! The only difference for me ... my cats are always silent on the drive home ... like they know it's over and can relax.
This deserves to be on TV and have its own show! 😸
Agreed! Simon should make his animation be on TV, colored and 1 hour of time duration. I think if he make that happen, the Simon's cat animation will be the most successful cartoon series!
It does have a show boi
Agreed
In Sweden where i live in it is
It did have a 2007 or 2008 show.
The quietly sneaking over and locking the cat door is so real😹
Why isn't this made in to a Movie, its so adorable, this is the kind of talent were sorely missing on TV & Movies nowadays, an animation not made purely for profit like everything else made by horrible TV & Executives, but something that is wholesome, heartwarming, beautiful and a joy to watch, Thankyou, this animation brightens my day and my heart! 😊❤🫂🫶🙏🌎
Been watching for many years. My kids grew up with Simon the cat! Thank you for all the memories!!!!!
One of the many things I love about these cartoons is the lovely, gentle, music. It 's very subtle and evocative. I find myself humming the main theme quite often.
When the cat shows his hurt paw to the gnome expecting him to do something about it. ♥️😂😂♥️
NO
Hahaha so cute ❤️❤️❤️
So funny
Mmmhmm
@@cynperez9501 uh, dont need to be rude and disagree
If you’ve ever had a cat,you will have experienced all of this,I love this.
Brilliant! My favourite part is when Simon first goes into the kitchen and his cat is holding on to the belt of Simon’s bathrobe and being dragged in, then when he turns to get the cat food the kitten is on his back. 😆😆😆
The car scene! are you insane? the trees! I can really see that you do this from passion. KZhead will not give you enough money for this little masterpiece...
I'm sure Mr. Tofield gets enough money from merchandise alone :)
This is also on iTunes and possibly other media sites for purchase, and was also kickstarted. I assume he would only put it up on KZhead for free after feeling he’s already made his money’s worth on the effort so far.
Steve Buttbelly nwnbb u
Steve Buttbelly So true! I'm having hard time believing it was all 2D (is it?)
This show deserves to be on TV omg
Lona EL Or even a feature film ! Maybe approach Dreamworks.....”Close Encounters if the Kitty-Cat kind “ ?
Yeah, maybe at cartoon network!
IKR
In our country we have it
I watched this episode for many times and everytime I’m crying at the end when cat gives presents and walk away. Cat you are the most cute, adorable and lovely creature in the world
THEY KNOW when you’re taking them to the vet!!
There are no words to describe how good this is!
Yeah there is! Wow Wow, Wow!!
Ya its perfect
But numbers can 10/10

It's super 👌
We want more, we want more, we want more
I love the days where everything was simple, the world and the problems were easy and all you dreamed about is new console. These videos bring me back to those times...
The best part is the surprise on Simon's face at 9:23 how easy going the vet is and how the cat is treated within a minute with no problems. This is so much ME going to the vet with my Cat. It is always amazing to see how calm my cat becomes on the Vets Table once the Vet takes over ..... !!! She is like a magician !!!
The table is metal and it is too slippery for the cat run away and he surrender.
Anyone reading lets give some appreciation to simon for being such a great cat owner!
I watched this with no sound and no captions at work in the break room and it still cracked me up. I relate to the struggle of getting a cat in its carrier for the vet 😂
You have encapsulated the experience of being a Catslave with total accuracy. 🐈🐈⬛👑✌️🖖
This is all so true. From the "get up and give me food, human" to the drama of going to the vet. My boy is so hysterical when we go to the vet. Once he is in the carrier he will meow like he is being murdered. My vet is only a 5 minute walk away, but the people are always starring at me like "oh my god, what did you do to your cat?!" xD He is a class A drama queen. His sister is braver.
When Simon's cat said "Row." _I felt that_
the whole process - this is EXACTLY what it is like!!
No one can show us the world of the domestic cat like him! Thanks Simon 😘
This is brilliant!!! I found Simon's Cat this summer and I absolutely LOVE it!! I can't believe I didn't know about it before. You capture a cats mannerisms so perfectly!!! This film is wonderful, keep them coming!!! ❤️🐱
This would be a great kids tv show
Agree ❤
I would watch a full movie of this. I love how the cat’s behavior is so realistic in many aspects.
Such a lovely thank you gift 🐁, and well presented by cat . 😸😆
Anyone who owns a cat can relate to this accurate and adorable video. Well done Simon!
Sharon Roy Yeah xd
The background art and this is mind-bogglingly complex, I love it
😂 😂 😂 the whole process - this is EXACTLY what it is like!!
Человек заводит котов и становится их рабом.В жизни сплошные примеры.Красиво и правдиво передана манера поведения этих животных в рисованном мультфильме.Создано талантливо.Спасибо.
согл
Dude the colors, the perspective, everything's made to feel so comfortable to watch!! So lovely 💕💕 Simon's so smart for that morning ritual on closing everything and careful
This animation my guess takes months
The attention to detail esp with the cat's smallest actions are phenomenal! Superb!
honistly i didn't see the colors off or incorrect either
Locking the cat door was not done as part of the morning ritual--it was done to prevent escape because Simon knew he'd have to chase down the cat to get him to the vet on this particular day.
Warfu g
I loved the little detail of how the cat's meows were interrupted by the bumps on the road!
Christina B. В
Me too
This man did the impossible he got up with cats in his lap. Good job.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can't understand why this wasn't presented as a pilot for a TV series. The animation, art (including lighting), characters, story, jokes (especially about having a cat). This is perfect!
I prefer it remains Indie as much as possible. Big networks would ruin it.
I would like to congratulate the entire team involved in this video! It is without a doubt the best short film I have ever seen in my life! Simons cat videos are very popular here in Brazil, most of the people that are passionate about cats made me, enjoy and share these little videos that reflect in a good mood how is the day to day with our kittens. Simon Congratulations on your initiative and your creativity!
We definitely need more 2-D animations in the world, even if they're 'kind of cheating' by using splines. I wish Disney never shut down its 2-D division.
Fernando Henrique i think he Made it hisself because he uploaded the last one some years ago
Awe that's great to here it is popular in many areas of the world :) I know I love Simon's Cat and all the videos, and though our cats may drive us a little crazy at times, it makes you laugh to see how funny our lives really are with our beloved kitties, and I wouldn't want it any other way!
Fernando Henrique That's not a short video...It's almost 13 minutes long xD
0:19 That innocent precious “Mow” was so fricken adorable 😍😍😊❤️😭
Such a nice break from doing things I'm supposed to be doing...
Ль т от тут-то😢😢🎉🎉❤нн❤❤❤❤😂😂😮до(ллллббббж№как-же э😮😮😮😮😮😊😅😊😊😊😊😊
Simon’s face when he saw the bill is so relatable.
The little touches made the the whole film, and especially the humour, feel so fresh and organic!! I thoroughly enjoyed this adorable story

OMG... I'm taking one of my cats to the vet next week and this is exactly what I go through for every vet visit. Pray for me! 🙏 😻😻😻
1000 people don’t understand hard work and dedication so they put a thumbs down
Omg I remember watching these when I was like 12 I miss thisss Granted, the ones I remember watching were in black and white, it’s amazing how clean and vibrant these are
I really never get tired of watching Simons Cat, and it is absolutely on point for life with kitties. Smiles and laughs.
I swear this is better quality than any tv show airing rn.
100% relatable, especially when he looked at the bill.
I can translate i speak stuned silence translation: HOW MUCH FOR WHAT NOW!
The number of little details in this piece are so enjoyable. The two minute vet visit with the shocking bill at the end was spot on.
When he breaks the vase over his head! 😂 I swear this is my cat-who’s normally the sweetest ever except when the ‘vet’ carrier comes out.
So obviously written by a cat owner ❤
So sweet.... and EVERY cat owner had to have laughed out loud watching the "put the cat in the carrier' segment.
And the way the cat ran back to it, as soon as the vet was over xD
I never had problems with my cats like this :D
Moved my cat from Connecticut to Delaware a few months ago and boy oh boy that was an adventure. When I finally got to my apartment (after 6 hours), he didn't want to even come out of the carrier!
Especially when he threw the potted plant at Simon XD sure feels like that!
Julian 3 mine actually have to go to the vets today, it's such a treat to get all 3 into carriers 😂😂! ❤ my fur babies.
The messy eating is so spot on. For animals that keep themselves meticulously clean, mine could make it look like a landmine went off around his food bowl
I just love how the scenarios are super detailed, there's always something to see 😃
I’ve loved simons cat long from when I was a kid and this was so cute. I especially loved the part when Simon had to get the remote and the cats stayed on his legs XD
Smiley King Thats me with my kittens. XD
my kitty wont sit with me if i watch TV or a movie, but i play videos games, he keeps bumping my hands, WTF
Smiley King me too
That was definitely my favorite part, too! These cartoons are like happy medicine.
Most cat owners hahaha. Must not disturb thy cats 😂
Our cat, Thor, caught a bee once and got stung on his paw, too. The yelp he made was almost human. He ran inside and I checked him over for any serious injury. Aside from one paw being twice the size of the other, he was fine. We gave him half a can of "treat" cat food (tiny cans we get and give occasionally) and gave him lots of love and space. He spent most of the day licking his hurt paw and was fine the next day. He never really hunted outside after that, despite his sister, Freya, trying to teach him. He's a big goofball and I love him.
IroSquared Boku the fact that your cats are named after Norse gods is stellar
Steph Pearson we also have had cats named: Thrasymachus, Jean Luc, Super Nova, Nebula, Costello, Pippa...
Awwww so cute =)
aw man one time Pluto ate a bee and she couldn't understand why head scratches didn't feel super good for like a week
You already had me at the Norse names but now I see Jean Luc :D As a kid I was a major fan of him haha
Hello from Russia. Everyone in our city is watching a wonderful cartoon. Thank you very much for the great work and excellent drawing❤
I loved it when the big cat pushed the little cat onto his face! This guy is a cat person!
I love how the vet deals with him in like five seconds when it took the guy ten minutes just to shove the cat inside the cage 😂 cause it really is like that
Reaction to the vet bill of Simon's is hilarious
Lmaoooo yessssss so accurate 🤣
😇😇😇😇😇
For my family... it's more like an HOUR! My cat HATES getting into the carrier and into the car in general, so he hides!
@@kaytlinjustis5643 He knows the carrier equals to seeing a vet.
OMG 7:48 this is EXACTLY how a car drive to the vet with my cat is like... the constant and various versions of meow
As a Vet Assistent AND Cat owner...this is so 100% acurate hahaha
One thing that I really liked about this short is the fact that having to go through all the little rigmarole to basically prep your house, for the vet appointment is very true. And I also like how the veterinarian is depicted as being very patient with the cat. Because well 99% of the time veterinarians are extremely patient with pets. Because well obviously pets don’t always like it when we take them to this place because they always associate the vet with pain and misery and fear and all that stuff. Of course there’s Simon’s reaction to the bill. Which is also very true. Vet bills are not fun.
OMG in colors
Roberto Huanquiao p
Roberto Huanquiao Was this never in colors??? Or you haven't seen colors before 😑
Roberto Huanquiao I said the same thing! So excited! 😂
No, it usually isn't in color, it's black and white. Haven't been watching them long have you?
era sólo dibujos animados en blanco y negro, pero igual entretenidisimos
All the humor in it is just so cute and true, it’s the daily life with cats :D
Это можно пересматривать несколько раз, сначала следя за котом, потом за котенком, а потом еще и за человеком! Как много действий в кадре! А девушка ветеринар, она потрясающая! Кота поймала, взвесила, как она в рот таблетку засунула! Потрясающе передано множество мелочей, повадки животных, какие-то мелочи в поведении человека! Очень приятно смотреть! ❤❤❤
I used to rewatch the few little shorts on this channel when I was a kid. Now that I’m 19 it’s so cool to see how the artist didn’t change their art style, just enhanced it.
Simons cat this is so beautiful in color I love your animations! :D

I had many cats in my life and they were ALL experts at vanishing when it became time for a Vet visit!
The bit near the end with the two cats attached to his legs. Ha ha ha ha.
This should be a TV series

I love the way that child at the vet just SCREAMED *baD DOOOOOOOOOOOGG*
Like who wants more full movies Simons cat is the best
Martina _yt itiyljg
OMG! Yes! It is very much like that! The amount of subterfuge, deception, and preparation it takes! Then she distrusts and resents me for days, sometimes even weeks afterwards! I hate to break her trust, and there's no way I can make her understand I'm doing it to literally save her life! Such is the burden, I willingly accept, to protect the one I love most.
😊👍💙👌🏾🥰
11:05 that was so gross but also so cute, the cat was saying thank you for helping make the sting go away
Finally KZhead recommended something I actually enjoyed watching.
That was a nice thank you gift he shoved in his mouth at the end
😂😂😂
I thought my cat were unique, but when I watch Simon's Cat, I know my cat is just like a every single cat.
I can't get over how nice the animation is drawn out, this could actually be a really good show. Edit: Just noticed it is a show. It would be nice if they put it on one of the kid tv channels as the one of those short shows that are in between longer shows. Please know that I'm talking about...
Axrty it would be nice if they put it on DisneyNOW
It's on Amazon Prime ☺
A brilliant animation. Cat behaviour is so well observed and depicted. Super drawings and lighting effect.
I have three cats, why is it if one has a vet appointment and we leave the carrier out the other two will get it in but not the one who needs to.
What a great find! Simons cat is awesome! Thank you for making my day!
I love Simon's cat ! Ihave had twelve cats during my life sadly all now deceased.Not a day goes by that I don't miss them, some more than others.My favourite lived to the ripe old age of nineteen.Simon captures so perfectly the character and adorable quirks of cats that are so unresistable.Watching the videos is a bittersweet experience but I always laugh out loud. 💕💕
You want my cat? I'm ready to murder him!
MelinaS Sasha Aww well your favorite one lived a very long, happy life. 🙂
Lia I do hope you're joking !
10:37 the struggle is real xD
A classic! Everyone I know loves Simon's cat! I had cats and they are depicted 100% în this, also... a husky and the main traits behind his behaviour are exactly like this:))) selfish, cute, funny, clueless and also always finding a way to achieve his goals.
I love how the vet catches the cat like a speeding bowling ball when it speeds out of the cage. They always know how to handle cats so well. But most cats will jump off the table at least once and look around the place.
This is amazing. The colouring and animation is flawless. I've been following Simon's cat since it started and it's amazing to see this talent growing! :)
This needs to be a show i swear
fiener pepe I watched this thinking the same. It should be on tv, it’s every bit as good as Wallis & Grommet
fiener pepe I thought the same thing too 🤗 with the voice or not.
His reaction to the bill is extremely accurate..! 😁
Love everything about Simon's Cat cartoons.. the humor, animation & all the great sound effects.. SO FUN 😄
Simon's Cat:The Movie
I want one,and I want it NOW! XD
If I was rich, I would totally support that.
If they start on that, we will be waiting for a century. XD
if there's ever asimoncat movieit's because simon takes the bait and lets a big company ruin the franchise in hopes of getting those sweet green notes if you catch my drift. It would just be overkill
If only they'd done this instead of the Emoji Movie, not so many people would have cancer. We'd probably have a cure for it by now
Love love LOVE! EXCELLENT ILLUSTRATION AND THE COLOUR ENHANCE IT EVEN FURTHER
No any words to imagine my admiration! This cartoon creator know cats more than they know themselves!
This is why I give myself an hour and a half when getting my cats to the vet. The half for the drive and the hour to get my dang cat in the crate.
😂😂...
My vet tech taught me to put my cat in the crate rear end first. They apparently can't plant their feet when you do that.
@@Fairygoblet Really? I'm going to try that.
