My pearly whites!

3 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 1:33 PM

Kitties,
I have been to the v-e-t for my teeth cleaning yesterday. Let me tell you - it was NOT fun! But I had to go because I needed clean teeth. My new v-e-t is very nice and called to check on me already today. I have been doing fine. I was drowsy when I got back because I had to have some anesthesia. My parents were very worried about taking me so we went to a very good vet, with a doctor, an anesthesiologist, and four or five students looking out for me the entire time. I am still feeling a little bit under the weather.
I have been prescribed to do teeth cleanings more often and to eat some dental treats on a regular basis. I am all for treats!
Love,
Figaro

Hi Kitties,

Yesterday, I shed one of my whiskers and my mommie found it and put it in a special box, because of the song "raindrops on roses and whiskers and kittens - these are a few of my favoooorite things!"

Happy New Years in a few days!

Love,
Figaro

Happy Magical Christmas!

Dear kitties,
We wish you a Merry Christmas! Here is a photo of the Marshall Fields Christmas display in Chicago. It is very magical and I like it a lot. I have been having a good christmas vacation with my family. I love my family so much! They feed me and cuddle me and I cuddle them right back. I am so happy during the holidays to have so many loving people in my life. We did not get any presents yet because Santa Paws is coming to our place on the 27th this year. Sometimes he comes late.
I almost forgot to post about my pre-Christmas Nursing Home visit. On accident my mommie got all the dates mixed up, and so we were not on the schedule. Since I already arrived, they asked us to do some room to room visiting. I visited all my favorite friends, and then we stopped in a new friend's room, her name was M. M. was very upset about something and she was calling for someone, but as soon as we came in the room M. started cooing at me and told me I am an angel, and she forgot that she was upset! I stayed with her for about 20 minutes and she looked at me but she did not want to pet me. She told my mommie to keep me very safe and not let me run away in the big hallways of the Nursing Home, and my mommie explained that I am on my special leash. I was very glad to make someone feel better like that, and it is one of the biggest reasons I am a Therapy Cat!
Love you all, and happy happy christmas,
Figaro

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,
Figaro

Mr. Figaro's appearance requested

Hi Kitties,

I have been very busy lately. Recently I got a phone call requesting my therapy cat service at another Nursing Home. The specialist thinks I will be very important. I am very hesitant to take more work though since I will be moving soon, but I am going to think about it! Also, one of my current Nursing Homes organizers called today and told my Mommie that some of my visitors ONLY come to see me and they do not like to do any other activities. She said that the families of my visitors are very surprised that they love me so much! I am very glad to bring so much happies to everyone! I can't wait to go hand out my Holiday cards to everyone next week. :)


Yesterday, it snowed. I like to watch the snow, but G-nesha has gone to hibernation (our vole). We will have to wait for G-nesha until the spring when he comes back out. I have not gone outside because it is very cold. I like to watch outside though!


Love,


Figaro

Our Pet

3 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 4:02 PM


Hi Kitties,

I want to introduce you all to G-nesha. G-nesha is our new vole who lives in our windowsill. He is very cute and we like to watch him. You will notice that G-nesha is very fat, also. I think he eats bugs and also pieces of plants that we planted last year. In the spring G-nesha ate the entire screen of the window so that had to be removed. Our cousin Missy briefly considered catching and eating G-nesha but we would not let her. The neighbor cat also tried to get G-nesha but we made a lot of hisses and we did not let him get G-nesha.

Yesterday I had a great time at the Nursing Home. I rubbed on everyone's legs and wished them Happy, Happy Thanksgiving. My favorite friend R.A. was there and she was so happy to see me. Also, my friend H. was there who can't see, she likes to reach out her arms for me and I get petted. I like all my friends very much.


Love,


Figgie

Happy Thanksgiving!

4 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 7:21 PM

Hello My Darling Turkeys,

I wish you a happy, happy Thanksgiving! My sister and I celebrated Thanksgiving with our whole family, and on Monday I am going to my Nursing Home to spread Thanksgiving wishes over there. We got to eat a lot of Turkey, and then my mom also fed us some Tofurkey, which everyone says tastes like real Turkey but blechh we did not like it! Instead we ate real turkey with lots of gravy, and there are leftovers for the entire week. :) 

Here are some things I am very, very thankful for this year:

1. Being with our family our apaa for this holiday
2. Being able to visit people and help them feel happier through my purrs and cuddles
3. Having a wonderful mommie who loves us
4. Having so many friends who follow my bloggy and leave such nice comments!
5. Having a lot of delicious foods and having a warm bed where we can sleep and purr
6. Our new pet who we named G'nesha. He is a really awesome vole who lives in our windowsill. 

Love and giblets,
Figgie

Visiting the Library

4 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 1:13 PM

Hi Kitties,


This weekend I had an excellent visit to the library! My mommie made a scrapbook of my photos since I was a baby, with interesting things written about my life, and the kids at the library got to read it. They liked that very much.
Also, some funny news. My mommie has to go get s-h-o-t-s because it is a new requirement that both me and her get shots for me to visit the Nursing Home! She hates shots but she is going to have to do it, because visiting the Nursing Home is one of my favorite things.
I plan to have a lot of TURKEY this week (how about you??) !!!
Love,
Figgie Pudding

Another Fun Time at the Nursing Home

3 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 3:00 PM


Hi Kitties,

This afternoon I had a delightful visit to the Nursing Home. Only a few of my friends were there because it was snack-time. I got to be petted by a lot of my friends who were very happy to see me. I also gave a few high-fives. But I did not stay long, because the rain outside made me get a little bit anxious. My furs got a little bit wet! After I got back I did some relaxing on the floor of my pink room. I feel very relaxed!

But I have been getting better in the car. When my mommie goes to her new job, we will have to do a lot more car-travelling so I am getting used to it. I hope my sister gets her own car-seat because I do NOT want to share!


Love,


Figlet

Fluffy and Sweet

Hi Kitties,

Here is a beautiful photo of me. I think I look like a mancat model. I am very fluffy and sweet.

Last week-end my mommie was visiting our friend who has a cat named Fish. Fish is like me only dark orange and he enjoys eating as much as I do!

This week we have a lineup of nursing home visits and library visits, I will keep you up to date as they come up.

Love,
Figg-o waffles
