Hey Kitties,
I need to decide soon about what kind of therapy work I will be doing in Chicago (and also, I need to ask parents WHEN we are actually moving already). We contacted a few therapy groups out there but they were DOGS-ONLY so we have to keep looking.
Some things I will be sad to leave behind when we move... all my extended family, my nursing home friends, my library reading friends, and my pet mole G'nesha who lives in the windowsill. I think we will get another nice new windowsill in Chicago, but maybe with less birds outside. I also hope to meet lots of new people to visit! And I can come back on weekends to see my friends at the Nursing Home, since I am a good car rider.
Love,

Hi everyone,
As you know I was adopted from a shelter, and I am so happy when animals receive happy homes! I also support Spay, Neuter Release programs to control the pet population.
Today, I learned in my email that PetSmart charities has helped adopt the 4 millionth pet! Chloe is a mixed-breed puppy who was adopted in New Jersey and there is a party going on for her on the PetSmart website.
I feel very happy to be invited to this party. :)
PS - thanks all for the tips about tooth brushing. So far I have settled on some malt flavour toothpaste and a blue toothbrush with rubber duckie stickers on it. I also got some all-natural dental treats which I liked a little too much because I got through the entire bag overnight, even though my mommie thought she hid it in the cupboard.
Love,
Figgie
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
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
