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
Hi Kitties,
Yesterday was probably my last visit at my Nursing Home. 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.
Love,
Figaro
Hello my kitty friends,
Yesterday it was nice weather so I got to go outside for a walk and I got to meet our neighbor A. A. is only 4 years old and she just got a small puppy whom she named Lulu. The puppy is smaller than me! A. liked me a lot and she even petted me. I also met some neighbors from across the way who are going to be coming to the library reading program next month to see me!
Usually I like to talk about my work, but today I am also going to talk about my mommie's work. My mommie is going to become a doctor of philosophy next week! A doctor of philosophy is not like a real doctor, but it is still pretty good! Right now I am thinking of a good philosophy. It is about kitty treats.
Love,
Figaro
Hi Kitties,
I am happy to report that it looks like we found the apartment we will be moving to in the windy city. I am so excited to move, because I will be getting my own personal high rise. This is the Ikea hack from Stockholm. I am pretty sure that my mom will build it for us very soon. It will be good for relaxing in between my kitty visits.
Excited,
Figaro
Hi Kittens,
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.
//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!
Love,
Figaroon
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.

Hi Kitties,
I almost forgot to wish everyone a happy valentines day! Here is my valentine's day card for everyone. I made it on my Macbook. I hope you like it. I have printed out several to hand out to my friends at the Nursing Home and at the Library this week and I am very excited to give them out! I did not want it to be too girly so I put green hearts instead of pink.
Purrs,
Figaro
