***SAFE 04/04/16*** WE ALL KNOW WHAT “SIMON SAYS” TONIGHT – TAKE ME HOME!!…A volunteer writes: Hi there new friend, wanna play a game with me? It’s real easy, I promise. Simon (that’s me!) tells you a thing to do and then you do it–just like Simon says. Are you ready? Simon says talk sweetly to him…oh, you’re too kind! Simon says pet the top of his head…mmmm, feels so good. Simon says scratch under his chin….u-huh, that really hits the spot! Simon says give him a back rub…oh yeah, you got it. Now pick Simon up…NOPE, Simon didn’t say to do that! I may not be a traditional lap cat but I still love to be loved on, and I’m just as sociable as the next guy. So when you visit, I promise I’ll be waiting right at the front of my den to greet you. I know I look like a million bucks, but I’m getting on a bit in years and prefer to spend my time with fellow gentle, mature folks–no rough kids please! Other than petting and sweet talk, I enjoy good food, scratching anything cardboard, and just chillin’ out around the house. So how about it, do I sound like the pet you’ve been looking for? There’s only one way to know for sure…Simon says come in to the Manhattan Care Center and ask for him by name!……SAVE THIS AWESOME AVERAGE RATED GUY TONIGHT!!
