Hi Kitties,
It has been quite a while since I have done my Therapy Kitty work, although Mommie and I still help our old therapy club with things. Recently we learned that I might get to visit a nursing home that is near my new house!! I am very excited and I will update you when I go on my visit.
Merry Holidays to all of you and see you in the New Year!
Love,
Figaro
Dear Kitties,
I have not updated my bloggy in MONTHS but I am doing great! I have been relaxisizing at home, because I do not have a place to therapy visit.
But my mommie does a lot of good works, and one group she works with is working on plans to plant an orchard. Please go and vote for our community! Go to the Edy's Fruit Bar page, click on "Plant" - "Leaders" and "Make Miracles Grow Foundation" in Chicago, IL! You do have to register, but it is a GREAT deed! You can vote once everyday!
Love and purrs,
Figgie
Hi Kitties,
Here I am sitting on my new girly bedspread. It has PINK flowers! I do not mind it because it is mommie's favorite. I have not been blogging much because of, (1) no therapy work! and (2) I have been too busy relaxing, while mommie has been too busy working.
Summer is almost over!
Purrs,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
Last week I had a great time with my cat sitter Mr. Figuero (yes, it is true!) while Mommie was away, staying on Figueroa street (yes, yes, it is true again). I am so famous. Meow!
My mommy brought us back a golden goat trophy, because she won #3 overall in a drawing contest. It is a special contest where you can draw for 20 minutes and include the logo of the company and there is a theme. Do you see 
the drawing? Can you spot the logo of the company in the drawing? What do you think is the theme?
We also got back lots of swag from the conference mommie was at. One cool thing is a free mousepad. My sister is sitting next to it waiting for a mouse to come and then she will pounce.
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties!
I hope you are all enjoying the kitty-days of summer.
I am doing good. Recently I got asked to be a GUEST BLOGGER on another site. Soon I am going to pick a topic and get my paws ready for some serious bloggin'!

Hi Kitties,
Welcome to my virtual birthday party. There is food, treats, catnip and games for everyone! This morning we got tons of food and catnip!

Hello Kitties,
Tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY! 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!
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.
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.
Stay tuned for the birthday fun!

Hi Kitties,
Check out this excellent new chair we got from IKEA. It is my favorite place to sleep. So far, I have not used it for sharpening my nails... but we'll see. I've been having a great summer - lot of delicious foods, lounging around and relaxation!
Because I can't do therapy work, we are also taking this time to do some training. I am learning to go into my crate and to kiss mommie. Veronica is learning to kiss me.

Hi Kitties!
Yesterday my family went on a vacation and my sister and I stayed home and got to play with our kitty-sitter instead. The kitty sitter came to see us in the afternoon. He was very nice and gave us food and played with me with all my toys! Now parents are back and I am relaxing with Mommie while she finishes up some work.
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
Summer is here and we are peeking out the window at all of the birds out there! We have been spending a good amount of time relaxing and running around. Unfortunately I have not found a good therapy club yet so I will keep looking.
My mom showed some of our modeling photos to our family and they think I could be in a kitty calendar or a magazine! I am very proud. It is because I get bathed a lot and I am careful to properly clean my furs. Plus I have been working out!
Love,
Figaro
Dear Kitties,
I am proud to announce that I have weight lossed 2 pounds in the last few months! Do you see my "after" photo? My V-E-T told us that I should try to lose some weight for my health.
You almost cannot tell because I am so fluffy. 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.
My family is so proud of me! :)
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
Yesterday was the end of my therapy contest and I have chosen a winner 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!
I have chosen Prince Brutus from the Rose and the Royals 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.
Have a good summer day, kitties! I am taking a long nap!

Hi Kitties,
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 "Clean + Green" Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner for Kitty. 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. :)
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:
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.
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!
3- I will tell Clean + Green your contact info and you will get your giveaway prize!
Good luck everyone :)
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
My friend Marg did a nice blog entry about me on her website, check it out! http://www.margsanimals.com/blogs/index.php/margspets/
PS - we got an awesome new chair this weekend, I will post it as soon as I have pics. And my kitty shelvings are here, we will be installing them soon.
Thanks,
Fig-wig
Dear Kitties,
We are all settled in our new house. 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!
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!
PPS - StumbleIT indexed our site and I had 75 visitors yesterday! Neat!
Love,
Figgie
Hi Kitties,
We are almost all moved in our new place. 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.
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
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?
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.
The boxes are all packed and we are just waiting for our Dr. Mommie to get back with the moving truck!
Love,
Figaro
Hello Kitties,
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.
We spent some time packing this weekend. This is what my sister thinks about packing <-, apparently! We are almost ready to go!
Love,
Figlet
Hi Kitties,
Do you like this photo of me? Yesterday, one of my mom's best friends who is a photographer came over for a photoshoot. I had to pose on my trick podium for an hour (but I did get lots of treats!) These photos are going to be used on the photography studio website and I think they are beautiful. The photography studio will open soon and I will post a link to the website then!
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
My mommy works late hours sometimes, and in the evening when she gets home I make her a cute face and put my paws together to ask her for some treats. Do you see my pet mouse next to me? We have several pet mice, one is my color and one is gray, the color of my sister.
In other news, soon we will be receiving some sample Earth-Friendly kitty cleaning products (for the carpet) and I will post a review and have a give-away directly on my blog!
Love,
Figaro
