I am very excited. I am turning 3 years old. I swear, the older I get, the more fluffier gets my tail - check it out! Meowza!<br /><br />My mom is out working ALL DAY today and tomorrow so all the fun will be held right here on this bloggy. There will be free food, drinks, catnip favours for all the guests.<br /><br />I also wanted to share about my friends Faustine and Lux out on the West Coast. They got pet HENS! Their hens are so cool, and lay eggs. Although, the last few days they have gotten a bout of hen-o-pause and there were no eggs to be had. These hens are so cute.<br /><br />Stay tuned for the birthday fun!<br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-78373941956351373442010-07-06T19:07:00.000-07:002010-07-06T19:09:45.519-07:00My Excellent New Chair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FYP018LMQEvA9Qc3CJqUnfQNecuR2tvVd3RNQbs4XrfAdTgW5Dd1f08F-QD6VvDzOrWrz3sOds2IndcPaDHAR7VaIy4eFon8QrfH48U_YT_qmnatVm4y-GowoRYU2FjJE1-oB86Eyl8/s1600/photo2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FYP018LMQEvA9Qc3CJqUnfQNecuR2tvVd3RNQbs4XrfAdTgW5Dd1f08F-QD6VvDzOrWrz3sOds2IndcPaDHAR7VaIy4eFon8QrfH48U_YT_qmnatVm4y-GowoRYU2FjJE1-oB86Eyl8/s400/photo2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490980500740743842" border="0" /></a>Hi Kitties,<br /><br />Check out this excellent new chair we got from IKEA.

But this week I stepped on the scale and sure enough I see some improvements. I have been exercising and working out with "Da Bird" and playing a puzzle game to get snacks.<br /><br />My family is so proud of me! :)<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-12482089587730559962010-06-02T10:08:00.000-07:002010-06-02T10:25:21.835-07:00Winner - Clean+Green Therapy Contest!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigsAV_sa-QgtN0lu1m-1K4Dkit4PHDtuBHnURPeFr6SppvoWFkdnb5K0uJ5OpDzqjbgu-mLm0-8OuWrDujSoyoHvcLTcYimNP8mTFnocldHofFYSJn_4rEv8oIp8NNjw65HtgwRGayG04/s1600/photo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigsAV_sa-QgtN0lu1m-1K4Dkit4PHDtuBHnURPeFr6SppvoWFkdnb5K0uJ5OpDzqjbgu-mLm0-8OuWrDujSoyoHvcLTcYimNP8mTFnocldHofFYSJn_4rEv8oIp8NNjw65HtgwRGayG04/s400/photo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478228290081658338" border="0" /></a>Hi Kitties,<br /><br />Yesterday was the end of my therapy contest and I have chosen a <span style="font-weight: bold;">winner</span> to receive a free Clean+Green product! There were many submissions, and many kitties who help their family and friends by being there for them, by helping raise moneys, by taking care of the babies in the family, by fostering kitties in need, and many other therapy activities. I am very proud of all of you!<br /><br />I have chosen Prince <span style="font-weight: bold;">Brutus</span> from the <a href="http://roseandtheroyals.blogspot.com/">Rose and the Royals</a> family as the winner! The Rose and Royal's mom Rose had to go to the hospital for a week, and almost lost her kitty family. But thanksfully someone took care of the kitty family, and when Rose came back, HM Emily, Marigold and Prince Brutus (a great ManCat) took care of her and kept watch until she got better. Prince also spends time visiting neighbors. In addition, the Royals family has to do some cleaning because someone made special presents on the sofa.. :) You can read the full story in their comment on my last post. Congratulations, Brutus! Email me for your prize.<br /><br />Have a good summer day, kitties! I am taking a long nap!<br /><br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-50439129721882990952010-05-25T06:34:00.000-07:002010-05-25T07:23:53.387-07:00Clean + Green! - Review and Giveaway<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3-lCGpZRptGQUuZ5rsWaTdEs03FbAOTnTZcpRQNLx6Onay030HlfjL1G9vmOaIy75Pxexa6YZmv-iwiMwOyqsiMGlxK6sdR_R-7Sye9LWcmVRWn_ESY26tUpT5n8F5OjUW163EACF4OM/s1600/ps_catcarpet.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 167px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3-lCGpZRptGQUuZ5rsWaTdEs03FbAOTnTZcpRQNLx6Onay030HlfjL1G9vmOaIy75Pxexa6YZmv-iwiMwOyqsiMGlxK6sdR_R-7Sye9LWcmVRWn_ESY26tUpT5n8F5OjUW163EACF4OM/s400/ps_catcarpet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475205055890644578" border="0" /></a>Hi Kitties,<br /><br />As many of you know, I am a therapy kitty and I also believe in therapy for the Earth. Last month, I got a sample of <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.odorandstainremover.com/store/cat_urine.html">"Clean + Green" Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner for Kitty</a>. Just in time, because we just moved to a new place with white carpets and got a new fancy, fancy couch and parents were a bit afraid about pet messes. We are usually very clean kitties so we do not have many messes, and we can say that this guy cleaned my sister's hairball mess from our white carpet very nicely! Both paws up! Best of all it is all-natural, eco-friendly, and pet safe. We had problems before finding a spray can that is eco-friendly and does a good job like the harsh chemicals, and this does even better. :)<br /><br />Now for the giveaway - the company (who is very very nice!) is letting me host a giveaway of one product from the Clean + Green collection for kitties - there is a carpet cleaner, litterbox cleaner, floor cleaner, and more. Because I am a Therapy Cat, I decided to do the rules like this:<br /><br />1- comment on my post and tell one good therapy work (anything like helping your human get through a tough situation, or going to see other humans) you have done in your 9 lives and put your bloggy link or your email.<br />2- on June 1, I will pick a winner. I am sure all of you have done good therapy work so it will be tough!<br />3- I will tell Clean + Green your contact info and you will get your giveaway prize!<br /><br />Good luck everyone :)<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-64233706072705673932010-05-03T07:58:00.001-07:002010-05-03T07:59:34.149-07:00I am on the interwebsHi Kitties,<br /><br />My friend Marg did a nice blog entry about me on her website, check it out! http://www.margsanimals.com/blogs/index.php/margspets/<br /><br />PS - we got an awesome new chair this weekend, I will post it as soon as I have pics.

Just a few more boxes to unpack and this weekend our couch came in. The couch is SO COMFY I am having some sweet dreams right now. :) So far we did not go outdoors for any exploring but we do like to look outside of the windows a lot! We did not start up any visiting yet, but I did advise my friend Nic about visiting in our hometown today - I hope she will take my place as the therapy cat in my hometown, that would be so nice!<br /><br />Oh PS - stay tuned! We just got a free bottle of pet carpet cleaner, and we will be reviewing it on our site as soon as we have a carpet stain - and there will be a carpet cleaner GIVEAWAY!<br /><br />PPS - StumbleIT indexed our site and I had 75 visitors yesterday!

There are a LOT of boxes right now for me to play in, and I like that. Also, the views are purr-fect. I can see all the cars and people moving around down below, which gives me a lot of entertainment. The granite counter-tops are perfect for relaxing on when Mommie is not looking. So far, I do not miss my visits, but I know I will soon, and as soon as we are all settled we will be ready to look for new visiting places! I just hope my mommie has time for visits.<br /><br />Love,<br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-46069802502551140782010-04-07T06:31:00.000-07:002010-04-07T07:11:40.262-07:00Nursing HomeHi Kitties,<br /><br />This week I went to my last Nursing Home visit in my town and I was feeling very sad and happy at the same time. Have you felt like that before?<br /><br />I was happy to see everyone again, and V. at the Nursing Home told everyone that I am a Very Good Cat who brought a lot of smiles to everyone. Then I went around and got petted. I was extra good because of the nice weather outside so I was purring and purring and let everyone pet me twice! I felt very happy. But then, one of my best friends who I talk about all the time, R.A., did not remember me anymore. I think she was not feeling very well and she had to leave early. This was the second time that she did not remember me. I am sad since she is one of my favorite friends, and I hope she is feeling better today. It is one of the most sad things at the Nursing Home when my friends are not feeling well, but I hope they still get some happies when they see me. My friend E. was there too who can't see or hear very well, and I have to be held up for her to pet me, and she was happy to pet me I think.<br /><br />The boxes are all packed and we are just waiting for our Dr. Mommie to get back with the moving truck!<br /><br />Love,<br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-90287232873999367222010-04-05T12:58:00.001-07:002010-04-05T13:01:48.815-07:00We are almost ready!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwebePNfEUT9GbX1qh-OaVprWUm4yTb5Q3_9JHmnMSkInTRmfV-P3_gwkqEyRsydtmVzjTzrV3xZFDfXm0puEKxz8QsCwRra4dvN3fLjpA9_U-tMCXxz1hyphenhyphenxPE4Arn0V-SdhxWHLhCaSU/s1600/26237_733910335848_20701852_42151565_4418147_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwebePNfEUT9GbX1qh-OaVprWUm4yTb5Q3_9JHmnMSkInTRmfV-P3_gwkqEyRsydtmVzjTzrV3xZFDfXm0puEKxz8QsCwRra4dvN3fLjpA9_U-tMCXxz1hyphenhyphenxPE4Arn0V-SdhxWHLhCaSU/s400/26237_733910335848_20701852_42151565_4418147_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456745629508239954" border="0" /></a>Hello Kitties,<br /><br />Very, very soon we leaving for the big world out there. This weekend I had my very last visit at the Library, and it was raining "cats and dogs," so we did not have many readers there. Our friend L. at the library wrote a really nice flyer about our "reading to the cat" goodbye program, special just for me! I felt very sad to be leaving her and the kids at the library. I promised to come back often. Later this week I am having my last visit to one of my favorite Nursing Homes.<br />We spent some time packing this weekend. This is what my sister thinks about packing <-, apparently! We are almost ready to go!<br />Love,<br />FigletFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-20521427671503999982010-03-29T19:09:00.001-07:002010-03-29T19:12:15.999-07:00Modelling Monday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijaqD4HDOrjmcGyNb6eh2qC3TDGeLVl9VZnpUMSUSnFBKgnJXyHy2TjgZHlabVoznq2vabV4SMDtXDq_UMlZTahqijSfd9ii1XQSnokzrKNuyubyPGh9ZkdkWajOZ68-OvB3i6tRB4DL0/s1600/26237_733910435648_20701852_42151581_7451783_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijaqD4HDOrjmcGyNb6eh2qC3TDGeLVl9VZnpUMSUSnFBKgnJXyHy2TjgZHlabVoznq2vabV4SMDtXDq_UMlZTahqijSfd9ii1XQSnokzrKNuyubyPGh9ZkdkWajOZ68-OvB3i6tRB4DL0/s400/26237_733910435648_20701852_42151581_7451783_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454243737454701394" border="0" /></a><br />Hi Kitties,<br /><br />Do you like this photo of me?

I was very sad, and everyone else was sad too that I had to say goodbye because we are moving soon. If I become a very good car-cat, I will be able to come visit sometimes from my new house, but Mommie says it might not work out with everyone's schedules and the Nursing Home is busy with many visitors. I have really enjoyed doing my visits and meeting all my friends. Most of my friends were there to see me yesterday...and I have now been visiting there every month for almost 2 years. My friends have seen me through 2 Christmas holidays, gotten 2 Valentine's from me, and seen me in 2 of my Halloween costumes. They have also celebrated my birthday with me! I really hope I will get to come back again, but if I don't, I hope that the rest of our team in my therapy group will fill in for me.<br />Love,<br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-41857336541357307202010-03-11T18:15:00.001-08:002010-03-11T18:22:55.507-08:00I am philosiphizing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZNrZ1XVEJG8uRSFGm-mcl-5ayEqnGvV0e6xDbT5rNFFM4d9G990N-QLwidyZL2ryqa1OkYr6RtqnWWacng5PScVNJ0hDCSoyNY3k0t7i40v7Tx_ESJag0CEf3yTLBO_9k_17Y7QnLB3Y/s1600-h/DSC_9610.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZNrZ1XVEJG8uRSFGm-mcl-5ayEqnGvV0e6xDbT5rNFFM4d9G990N-QLwidyZL2ryqa1OkYr6RtqnWWacng5PScVNJ0hDCSoyNY3k0t7i40v7Tx_ESJag0CEf3yTLBO_9k_17Y7QnLB3Y/s400/DSC_9610.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447566854115767602" border="0" /></a>Hello my kitty friends,<br /><br />Yesterday it was nice weather so I got to go outside for a walk and I got to meet our neighbor A.

It will be good for relaxing in between my kitty visits.<br /><br />Excited,<br /><br />FigaroFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-51887261057692750112010-02-24T09:59:00.001-08:002010-02-24T10:50:44.250-08:00The Economy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSRvDiz0IJTCC7wbdfsXefa-jwcuu_MtctDkBFtPgFUtgoLt_0SP2dxqDSQ4VbnV9PSj40nGcghIwhNd109pbvLSqTQgXJW_KQ4CRahk7GhaBajWcsLguDVHEbEENPcGCKXwVbaVJjWM/s1600-h/photo-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSRvDiz0IJTCC7wbdfsXefa-jwcuu_MtctDkBFtPgFUtgoLt_0SP2dxqDSQ4VbnV9PSj40nGcghIwhNd109pbvLSqTQgXJW_KQ4CRahk7GhaBajWcsLguDVHEbEENPcGCKXwVbaVJjWM/s400/photo-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441871952767190114" border="0" /></a>Hi Kittens,<br /><br />As you all might know the Economy is not doing so good right now and one of my favorite Nursing Homes has cut my hours indefinitely! They were sold to another company, and that company reduced the hours for activities. First, I changed my activity to only 30 minutes instead of one hour, and then, they cancelled my activity in January and February, and then they just called to cancel March, and when my mommie asked about April they said it is cancelled. My mommie is checking to see if I will be able to come a few times just to visit my friends room to room, and they have to check with the main office. In the meantime - I am vacationing and getting ready for our big move! We will be finding Nursing Homes in our new locale soon.<br /><br />//Update update update! I am allowed to come anytime by myself for room-to-room visitation. Woo-hoo-hoo I am definitely dropping by this weekend!<br /><br />Love,<br />FigaroonFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917345481531306933.post-71116958560211754122010-02-17T10:44:00.000-08:002010-02-17T10:53:04.786-08:00Cuddly Cupid<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXFwY8sRN6QAKFOYqa-meRuAUb6nEV3C_Cn9XZN6NLtyN2Pq_L0LYs39cw5DbZFMGbRLdSvDJM_TBidmOH6So-eDb7I5LW8DEglDBDFy9qmNQtKeh0Wv4DxfgkTZ0vHlVUB-zpC_XdMws/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXFwY8sRN6QAKFOYqa-meRuAUb6nEV3C_Cn9XZN6NLtyN2Pq_L0LYs39cw5DbZFMGbRLdSvDJM_TBidmOH6So-eDb7I5LW8DEglDBDFy9qmNQtKeh0Wv4DxfgkTZ0vHlVUB-zpC_XdMws/s400/photo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439286344397712210" border="0" /></a>Hi Kitties,<br />Yesterday I had a great time visiting all my friends at the Nursing Home and handing out my Valentines. My favorite friends were there and I even brought my photo album to share, with photos of me as a baby, and photos of me with my family.<br />I will be sad when I have to move if I can't keep visiting my favorite friends. I also checked out the car seat that my mommie is working on for me, which we got from one of our friends whose puppy outgrew it, there is space enough for both my sister and I and it is going to be padded with lots of comfy blankets.<br />I also dropped by great-grandma's place to pick up some fresh cooked chicken for the week.<br />My family had dinner together and I also got yummy yummy yummy freshwater fish. Special fish we get on special order. OH yum. It was tdf.<br />Cuddles,<br />FiggieFigaro the Therapy Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06324848183811116803noreply@blogger.com3
