Story Time and Mommie's Office

Hi Kitties,

I had a very fun story time this morning. I got to meet a lot of very nice children and everyone petted me. I was very, very polite. I got petted by at least 5 small hands at one time! After that, we walked over to my mommie's office and she showed me off to the people she used to work with, and they kitty-sitted me while she went to a meeting about some important non-kitty things.
After that we went home. Now I am relaxing on our new IKEA bed. It is very comfortable, especially on this new soft comforter and with the sun coming in the window. I think I will relax for the entire weekend because I do not have any visits scheduled for a whole week!
Have a happy, sunny, weekend, everyone!
Love,

Enjoying the Sunshine

Hi kitties,

Today I went on another Nursing Home visit. It was very fun. This time I went to different rooms and said "hello" to a lot of people. The activities coordinator who went with us, T., said that she thinks it is very very worth it for me even if I can just make one person smile. But of course I make everyone smile! Even the people working there always stop their day to give me some pettings.
I was a little bit edgy today, I think because I've been on a visit almost every day this week. I have another visit tomorrow morning for Story Time, and then after that I have a long break to relax.
Here is something that is great for my relaxation in between visits. It is a beatiful planted window well. Since we moved we do not have a pond but these plantings are fun because they bring a lot of bees and other insects for us to watch.
Love,

Story Time

Hi Kitties,

I almost forgot to post today, about last night's visit to the Nursing Home, and this morning's visit to the Library for Story Time. I have been to that Nursing Home many times so of course I got to see all my favorite friends there. And also, some new people.

But this morning was my very first day for Story Time. It is not the same as the Reading program which is older children, this is smaller children who don't read yet. We listened to a story about a cat and had a 'show and tell' all about me. The children wanted to know what I eat and what I use my whiskers for. Then everyone petted me, of course. There were about 6 children at Story Time. My friend M. was there, who comes with her older sister to the reading program. I am going again later this week because the theme of Story Time this week is "cats." My sister Veronica got invited to go instead of me one of the days but she is too shy. I got to go in my Stroller because it was not a Delta-visit.

Love,
Figaro

A busy week ahead

Hi Kitties,

I have a very busy week ahead. I am visitng the Nursing Home, plus I am visiting the Library two time for a special kitty presentation. I am looking forward to it, and also, relaxing up for the week ahead! Here is me relaxing with the laundry. The laundry likes to relax for a long time in bed before it gets folded and put in the closet.

My mommy got a grant from an international foundation of economics to do an extension on her thesis research, with all positive referree reports! I am very happy about it. It means she is home less to play with us but we get a lot of catnip. For example, after mommie's bartending gig last week she used the earnings to buy us "pawbreakers", kitty treats made up entirely of catnip! They are coming in the mail soon.

Also, yesterday we had some visitors and my sister and I were showing off our tricks. We are still very, very good.

Love,
Figaro

Green is the summer

Hi Kitties,

Today was the reading program at the library! I had a great time and heard a book by Dr. Seuss. I also listened to a book about a dog, the boxcar children, the magic carpet, and the guiness book of world records. I did not get to bring my stroller today so I just sat in a chair. I did not like it so much because I do not do my tricks unless I am safe in my stroller, but for now until I get my new therapy licence registration it will be okay. I like to come to the reading program if I have a lot of treats to snack on while I listen to books!
It is getting more and more green this summer and soon we are going to be spending more time out of doors. Right now I am just taking a nap in bed with my older sister. We are listening to "The Weepies," it is our new favorite music right now.

Hi Kitties,

I had some fun adventures this weekend. I decided to go out for lunch instead of eating in so I learned how to open the door to my room. It is not very hard - I just have to stretch really tall and turn the handle. Then I went downstairs and had some kibble from my cousin Missy's bowl. It was pretty good. Then I went to the basement to hang out and surprised everyone. Especially my mom who was painting the basement pink.
Then I had to sit in the bathroom for a while, but I decided to leave so I opened that door too and walked around some more. I wasn't really hungry for dinner since I kept snacking on the kibble in the kitchen, that was very fun. Last night though my Mom put a new doorknob on my door. This one isn't a lever so I'm going to need my sister Veronica's help to open it...

My Visiting Basket

Hi everyone,

Well, I still did not resolve my kitty stroller issue. For visiting, right now I might be going in a laundry basket or in this other basket. I think it will be okay. A lot of my therapy club has been very supportive of me and we are all contacting Delta to find out about the stroller ban. I hope the problem will be resolved very soon. But for now I am happy to go in a basket, if it means I get to see all my friends at the library and at the nursing home!
Love, Figaro

My Stroller is Not Allowed!

Hi Kitties,

A few days ago I found out some bad news - my stroller is not approved by Delta Society for my therapy visits. One of our club members contacted Delta as a "favor" to us to find out about it (okay, if she did not contact it would stay our secret!). Delta does not think that strollers are safe for me. I really can't visit without my stroller - how are my friends going to be able to pet me, especially at the Nursing Home? But do not worry I will still be a therapy cat. My mommie contacted all the places I visit to ask if it is okay if I visit without Delta insurance. I will remain a therapy cat but I will not have the insurance in case I break something on my visit. We also contacted a therapy animal certification program, Love on a Leash, who is going to find out if their laws are as strict. I think the stroller is the best way to visit for a cat!

I will keep you updated!

Love,
Figaro

Impromptu Visit

Hi Kitties! This evening I went on an impromptu visit. My friend L. was sick and she could not go to visit the Grief Center so I went in her place. I was in a room with a lot of toys, stuffed bears and some pretend plastic food (I tried some, not good!!). I got to meet a lot of nice children who told me all about their pets. It was also raining outside so I was a little bit grumpy and I accidentally put the bitey on one of the kids. After that we went home. My mom said if I were a girl she'd swear I was having the P-M-S. I sat on my Mom's lap after we got to the parking lot, before we went in, to relax a little.

Speeding in my stroller

Hi friends,
Here is a photo of me from the Nursing Home visit a week ago. I had a great time visitng a few nursing homes, and then my mommie was out of town for a while visiting her friends. She drove a long, long way and got to meet a police officer because she went too fast. I never never go too fast in my kitty stroller. She also brought back 11 more fish for my aquarium! They are very cute. But one of them just died because it swam into the filter. I wanted to eat that one but I was Not Allowed.
Today we are going to be making some brochures for our therapy club. I am going to be helping with the stickers. I do not have many visits planned for a while so I have just been relaxing! I have been sitting on my kitty tree and watching outside. In 2 weeks we are moving to our new place!
Love, Figaro
