Happy 2nd Birthday Figaro!
My little Figgy Bum, Figalicious, Figscicle, Figgy Newton turns 2 today!
We adopted him at 8 weeks old, all my husband could say when he first saw him was “oh my god, oh my god. OH MY GOD!” Because he couldn’t believe how tiny he was.
I got him when I was mourning the loss of my best pal, Minnie, and he’s become such a perfect member of our chaotic family.
Here’s some facts about Figgy:
- When his bowl is empty, he chews plastic.
- Loves to act aloof, but if you’re in a room with the door closed, he cries “mama” to be let in.
- He’s brought out the playful side of our other cat, Tinks. Minnie was very much the boss so having a kitten to play with has made her so playful. Even though she hated him at first.
- He’s very food motivated, which allowed me to teach him to sit.
- He stares into space and makes the strangest little grunts. We don’t know why.
- He’s fully grown but still absolutely tiny.
- You CANNOT leave food of any kind out, he will eat it. I’ve caught him eating chilli chicken.
- He’s named Figaro, because Minnie Mouse (who my Minnie was named after), had a kitten called Figaro, who was a tuxy.
- He LOVES our dog, Barley, he’s super affectionate and playful with him, even though Barley could eat him in 1 bite if he wanted to.
- And finally, there is not a single brain cell located in his skull.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIGGY 🎉🎉🎉
