Figaro is my cat that's been in the family for about eight years.
We got him right after Rufous,
but we saved his life.
We got him from these people
that had two dogs and a cat.
They had this huge dog in the house
and a Rot Weiller in the tied up in the back.
Neither one of these poor animals was in good condition.
Figaro was named, Socks, at the time
because he has four white socks on his feet.
So, when we drove away,
we decided to anme him Figaro
because he looks just like Figaro
from "Pinnochio".
Well, except that his nose is half black
and half pink.
He's a very playful cat
and sometimes
he'll chase you around the house,
he'll attack you out of nowhere,
and he'll run half way up the wall
before falling.
Figaro is lactose intollerant
and he's dibetic.
Being diabetic,
he doesn't walk on his back feet like
other cats,
but he walks on, I guess his elbows.
He is a smart cat, but he always gets into trouble.
We all love him the same.
Since everybody moved to Texas
Rufous and Figaro have been
getting into more trouble,
but they're just having fun
in their new home
with the family and Ken.

Nice and cute
I have 2 cats named Maggie and Smokey. -
Again, thanks for sharing. Figaro sounds adorable with his white "socks" on his paws. He reminds me of one of my cats, "Mephisto". He was very playful also. At night, he would attack my feet, pretenting they were mice I guess. Couldn't sleep. I had another cat, Tigger that playfully attacked me out of nowhere, like your Figaro does. He would hide, and when I walked by, he would pounce of my foot, or grab my leg. I have really enjoyed reading about your great pets!
