Poked and Prodded

Hi Kitties,
Well, this morning I had to go to the kitty doctor's office. It was time for my annual checkup and I went to a new vet this time who my mommy really liked but I have to say I am not so sure. I had to get all my shots and I had to have a thermometer to measure my temperature. It was so embarrassing! I also got some heartguard medicine for worm prevention. The only good news is I did a good, good job and did not scratch or bite anyone. Also, because I am a therapy cat I got $5 off my visit fees.
Also this weekend was the library reading program! I have a BIG accomplishment. Usually, I have a room all to myself but this time they made a mistake with scheduling so I had to be in the same room with the therapy dogs. A lot of dogs were there, and I was not scared at all! I did my usual purrs and high fives for everyone! Because it is so close to the holidays, I did not have many visitors since everyone is busy getting ready for Santa Paws.
I got ready for Santa Paws too by decorating our room with a lot of bright lights and hanging up our stocking. We also set up a menorah for good measure, and we will put shoes out our window for the elves, and expect the Father Frost to come for New Years. I hope I get a lot of good gifts to eat - since we celebrate so many of the holidays it is bound to happen! This year for the holidays we adopted a goat.
Happy Hannukah!
Love,

Relaxing

Hi Kitties,

I have had "not much" going on recently. I am awaiting January because there will be two nursing home visits and a library visit.
So far I have just been relaxing. Can you see me relaxing? My mommie says I am very good at it.
One thing exciting happened, we got some more fishes in our aquarium. We got 7 more fishes from Santa Paws, they are Mickey Mouse platys and we have named them the "so long and thanks for all the fish" fish. They are looking very very nice in their aquarium. (And a little bit tasty, but I am not supposed to say that because they are Not For Eating!) We also got a little bit of hannukah gelt. I think I will use it to buy catnip!
Love and happy holidays,

Look Alvin, it's snowwwing!!!

Hello my darling kitties,

I hope you are as excited as I am for Santa-Paws next week! I hope I get some catnip. Yesterday afternoon I went on the last of my holiday visits. I visited one of my favorite nursing homes. I got a lot of pettings, and then I got out and explored. After a while I got bored and lay down on my back on a chair and showed everyone my fluffy tummy. It was a pretty good day overall. After that we drove home and it started to snowww! I was very fascinated by the snow, but I did not like it when I got some on me when we had to go from the car to the home. It was kind of wet. I forgot to take a photo of myself, but later on I put on one of my favorite t-shirts and took a nice long nap on the couch while my mommie baked some holiday cookies. So here is a photo of me doing that. You can't see but my shirt says "naughty or nice." Of course, I am very nice and I am never never naughty!! I get a lot of photos taken of me just around the house - I think it is because I am so cute!

Love and holiday whiskers,

Start of the Holiday Season!

Hi kitties,

How eggsiting! It is the start of the holiday season for me! Today I made my first visit of the holiday season to one of my Nursing Homes. I really enjoyed it. I see a lot of the same ladies every time and they really like to pet me. Today H. was there who has very bad vision so I had to be picked up and put close to her for her to pet me. She thinked I am very cuddly! I also got asked if I have any brothers and sisters who can stay in the Nursing Home forEVER. I said no of course that is not possible because it is difficult to care of me, since my litter box must be cleaned and I get into many shennanigans. :) I went around and around in my kitty stroller and showed some tricks. I got also a new trick, Mommie says "Raise your paw if you are a puppy!" and I raise my paw. It is a funny trick because I am NOT a puppy!!! :) I also gave out this holiday card to everyone. Do you see my red christmas shirt in the card? Mommie helped me make this card online. I am very happy here on my cat condo tree. Saturday I have 2 holiday visits, and another visit next week.

Love,
Figaro

Getting ready for the Howl-idays

Hi Kitties,

This past few weeks I did not have any work because it all starts NEXT WEEK! I have 3 Nursing Home visits and one library visit next week. I am getting excited because I will be giving out my special Holiday Cards to everyone who will visit me. My mom helped make them using Photoshop and Snapfish. I will also be visiting for the FIRST time at one of these nursing homes, and I have even got 2 visits in one day! A morning nursing home visit and an afternoon library visit. I hope I have enough cards for everyone, I think I will because I printed out 50. I hope everyone I visit will have a good holidays, and I think my visits will make them happy. I will be giving out a lot of purrs and cuddles this holiday season!

Just to get everyone in the spirit of the holidays, here is me last year on my Very First Holidays with my Christmas/Hannukah present (it was a kitty movie and some catnip). I was just 1/2 a year old. I think I look very small compared to now. I was not a Therapy Cat then yet because I was too little. But I was already practicing, going to meet new people every week and learning high-fives.

This year I was a very good kitty so I hope I will get the present from Santa I am really wishing for, which is some spray-catnip. I think that kind will be very nice since I can just spray it on stuff and then rub on it! Right now my sister Veronica and I share one Christmas stocking but I think Santa will understand and put some catnip for me in that stocking. I am also wishing that I will get to hear a lot of good Christmas and Hannukah stories from the children at the library. I think there are a lot of good books that are about the holidays. I am a kitty so I don't go to any church, but I definitely like to play by our holiday tree and get catnip from Santa!

I also may be going to an assisted living community soon. They have monthly health check-ups, and the nurses think it might be a nice idea if I come for the check-up too so after their check-up they can be cheered up by some nice Purrs from me.

Love,

Figaro
