Cuddly Cupid

Hi Kitties,
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.
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.
I also dropped by great-grandma's place to pick up some fresh cooked chicken for the week.
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.
Cuddles,
Figgie

Another Success at the Nursing Home

Hi Kitties,

Last evening I went to the Nursing Home which I enjoy very much. I have not been there for one month! I did a group visit, followed by a few visits to rooms. I got to see some of my favorite people, and they were very happy to see me. I stayed for an entire hour! Everyone was very pleased. Here is a photo of us folowing behind one of our friends as we go to visit a new friend down the hall. I very much enjoyed this visit!
After the visit, we went to my great-grandparents house where I got to eat a lot of cheese and explore in the garage. That is my favorite place to explore in my great-grandparents house. After that we stopped by our friend's house to hang out for a while. His house is fun because I am ALLOWED ON THE COUNTERTOP! This is pretty unusual since I am never allowed. However, it is not as much fun as when I go on the countertop secretly when I am not allowed, not being allowed is part of the fun. :)
We have another visit coming up this week so I will be sure to update then!
Love,
Figaro

Yesterday was a Mancat Monday

Hi kitties,
Yesterday for Mancat Monday I did a lot of things. In specifical, I was busy from about 5pm until all the way to 8:30 pm!!! I was practicing and visitating the entire time. First, mommie took me to grandparent's house where we had some dinner. I already ate at home though so I just explored around. We also took the kitty stroller, so then we went for a walk all around grandparents' neighborhood with mombean and grandma. Grandpa did not come with us because he was 'mbarrassed by our strollering!! Anyways, my granmda knows all the human children in the neighborhood so she introduced me to all of them! They all liked petting me. After that we got back home and chilled for a while. Then our Uncle S. called and we came over to his house because it is just across the street and hanged out there, because my dadbean was over there working on a computer. After that, we came home and I finally got to relax. I was really yaaawning a lot by the end of the night!
PS Don't forget to VOTE for me, I am #4 at the PetSmart Contest!
PPS Don't forget to check back in on Friday, Thursday afternoon we are visiting a Nursing Home!

Love,

My First Therapy Cat Visit

Hello everyone,

Yesterday was my very, very first therapy cat visit. We went to the Nursing Home. It was very exciting and I will tell all the details. To get ready for the visit, I had to get a grooming. My mommie inspected my nails and cut them short and then I got FURMINATED. Look how many hairs came off of me onto the special furmination rug. Then it had to be vacuumed.
Then I had to put on my harness. It is a special harness for kitties. I usually wear it when I go out on my leash for walks, but today it was extra special because we had to put on the Delta Society ID tag on it. My sister Veronica sniffed me all over to make sure I am clean and gave me some lickings. Then we were finally ready to go.
First, we arrived at the Nursing Home. It was about 1o minutes drive from our house. I do not like drives but this one was okay because I was so happy to be going to get petted by so many nice people. We taked our stroller with us because it is my special visiting taxi.


When we got out of the car mommie got the stroller all ready and put me in it. Then we strollered over from the parking lot to the building. I have some pictures here of me outside in my stroller. Unfortunately we could not take any pictures of the people I visited because that is confi-dential. So you just have to see me in my stroller on the outside of the Nursing Home. You can see my ear felt itchy yesterday so I had it tucked back funny. I looked almost like my friend Mimmy who is a scottish fold on one side!


In order to be a therapy cat, you have to bring a photocopy of your most current vaccination records from the V-E-T, so we gave that to the receptionist. Then we sat down to wait because we were a little bit early in case we didn't find where it was.


Then on the intercom they announced "Figaro is going to be in the lobby in 15 minutes." I got very excited because they said my name over a LOUDSPEAKER. They said it again three more times and then finally they said "Figaro is in the lobby and you can visit with him for 30 minutes."


Then we went to the lobby and mommie opened up the tops of my stroller and picked me up. The residents all made a circle in the lobby and they were sitting in chairs and wheelchairs. I think there were 15-20 residents who were all very happy to see me. I like to be the center of attentions! Mommie held me up in the middle of the circle and told everyone that I am Figaro and that I am a special therapy cat who is one years of old. They wanted to know if I am a special breed and in fact I am from the shelter and I am an american domestic medium-long hair cat. That just means I am not any special breed but I like that because I am very cute no matter what. Then they asked if I am available for adoptions and Mommie said definitely NOT! Then she explained that I live with her in our house with my sister Veronica. A lot of people wanted to know if I liked being petted and Mommie said that I love it. She explained that I go in my stroller and if I am not being petted I meow. Then when she put the top up and nobody petted me for a minute of course I started meowing. The residents thinked this is funny, because I stopped meowing once my next visitor petted me!
Some people told me about the cats they had with them when they were little, which was good to hear about. And also they told me I am very soft and nice. Some people thought I was a girl and not a MANCAT but we explained I am a boy that is why my stroller is BLUE and my harness.

Then we strollered around with my open stroller to everyone in turns and everyone gotted to pet me one at a time. I liked being petted but I did not purr yet I think because I was a little nervous to be in a new spot. THEN after that we went in the center again with the stroller opened and I showed off my tricks! Mommie had me do "High Five" and "Sit Up". When I do "Sit Up" I look a little bit like a squirrel because of my furry tail. The residents all went "wooo". I was very good. Mommie was surprised thatI was willing to do my tricks since it was in a new place, but I felt very safe in my stroller. I am glad that I got it because at the beginning of the visit I got put on some laps and I did not like that so much since I made a very small Hiss. Then I went back to my stroller so from now on Mommie said I can just visit from my stroller.
After that, you can see we went back to the car and mommie put me down while she folded up the stroller. Here I am checking out what is under the car. Then AFTER that I got to go to great-grandma's house. Here is me relaxing at her place. She feeds me a LOT of goodies. Mommie left to make a grocery store errand and while she was gone great-grandma fed me lots of cheese and also milk. It was very delicious although Mommie told great-grandma probably not to feed me that stuff next time.

Mancat Monday - Progresses

Another Monday, another mancat posting. here I am in my blue polo shirt that I weared yesterday to grandparent's house. I was a very good kitty, I sat with grandma on her lap and purred and purred. She liked it. But grandpa is not a big fans of kitties or any animals so he does not come near me. Which is why I was surprised that....he was wearing the same shirt as me yesterday! Also a blue polo. Mamaw wanted to take a picture but he did not sit very close to me so we could not. I laffed.

Also, one of Mom's friend beans works at the university and said there might be a Therapy Pet club there. She told her a week ago there might be but she did not get details yet. If there is, then I can go there for my certifications and trainings! We are going to finds out. In the meantime I am keeping up visitating friends, petsmart, and the outdoors.
