Hello kitties,
Our toilet training has been going great! We are now on the inter-amber disk of the LitterKwitter. FINALLY Figaro is being good. We have been on inter-amber for exactly 1 week. Figaro has had ZERO accidents. (I do not even discuss myself but of course I had zero accidents too...)
Mommie thinks we will be moving on to the next step (amber) disk in 3 more weeks. She decided we should take 1 month on every step. We will probably have to spend some time on amber over inter-amber, like we did interamber over red. The good news is, we are progressing!!! (slowly..) Also, almost every time Figaro does a #1, he goes directly in the toilet, and all we has to do is flush!!! However when I use the toilet, I go on the edge of the disk and it still has to be cleaned, but that is because I am practicing proper positioning on the seat.
However we will be not using the system for 2 whole weeks in October, 1 week when the parents are at a conference, and another whole week when we are having a guest visiting us.

WOW! Mommie is very eggsited tonight. Figaro made a #1 business in the inter-amber disk of the LitterKwitter system! We did not think this would ever happen. The bestest part is, he just went without any complaindering! We have had the LitterKwitter since May 5. We were on the red disk for a very long time, and then we were on the Red disk underneath of the inter-amber disk for another month and a halfs (this is a pain to clean, 2 disks everytime with 2 kitties). About 2 weeks ago, if Mommie remembered, she took out the red disk for me since I am a big girl and can easily easily use the inter-amber disk on my own. However, Figaro is very resistful. Remember that we started a homemade toilet training system in January!

I normally do not like showers because I do not like to get wet but we really liked the Perseid Shower. My mommie woke up at 4 AM and of course I was already awakened, and she took me outside and we saw FOUR shooting stars. That is more than how old I am which is 1 and one-fifth years old. I very much like to go outside especially at 4 in the morning. After we got back in I thought we were going to get fed but that was too early so I had to wait impatiently until it actually got light outside for breakfast!
Also. Here are some updates about our toilet training. We are now using the inter-amber disk with the red disk underneath of it for Figaro. Strangely it is very hard for him to adjust to it. He really does not like to go so now he is only doing the #1 two times per day or even 1 time. Mommy has to make him. On the other hand, I am only using the inter-amber disk without the red disk underneath. This is too easy for me. If I was the only one in training, I would be moved up to amber right now! But we are going verrry slowly so Figaro will not have any accidents. He ALMOST had an accident on mommie's important files in the den, but she caught him scritching around and stuck him on the toilet!!

Well, we are still on the red disk. Parents were out of town for july 4 weekend and we got a litter box back, and when they got back now mommie is at work all day too just like the dad. She is teaching her class and doing other works and our lap of tops is not back yet.
Now Figaro did not have an accident for over a full month now. He only had a small accident because the shopping bag on the floor made just the right crunching noise and it was so hard to resist. mommie is very pleased because used to be Figaro did an accident if she was out of the house for longer than 5 or 6 hours, but now that he is almost 1 years of old he has been holding it a lot nicer. By the way his BIRTHDAY is coming up on July 22!!!!
We might be switching to the inter-orange disk for potty training very very soon. Maybe tomorrow. What do you guys think? We really do not wants more accidents...but it might be time? How can we make the initial hole in the inter-amber smaller???

Mombean gotted home today and finded a LitterKwitter on her doorstep. She is very happy that it camed so soon. She gotted it all out and the first thing the Figaro did is tried it out. Mombean thinked it is hi-la-rious. I just looked at him like he is the nutty of kitties. SERIOUSLY, did he thinked he is in the bathroom?? Of course, he did not maked any businesses because mombean was right there watching him. But he seemed like he was thinking about it verrry serious-ly. Mombean decided it is a good sign that he liked the LitterKwitter. So she putted it on the toilet and Figaro went in there and in about 30 minutes he did the #2. Later tonight he did the #1 also. Of course we are using the red disk right now but also it is directly on the toilet since our homemade setup is on there right now and we uses it. For your references, this is approx-imately day 150 on our toilet trainings using the home-made setup. And day 1 on litterkwitter. Mombean said we has until the end of Novembers to start getting good at this or she is going to quit because that will make approx-imately 1 years of trainings. Although she said cleaning out the litter box over the weekend was the yuck mainly because we tracked the yuck clay litters all over the house (we decided to use the clay litters since we knows that is what goes in a litter box and mombean did not wanted to confuzzel us while her allergical laws of ins were in town.) So I can says today, Figaro was good with his businesses.

For Movie Monday I have secretly made this video of the Figaro. He is not in good shape and after running around only the 5 minutes for his mousie (this time he was chasing the Cat Dancer we got from Hello) he is sitting there and panting like a woofie kitty. It is very silly. This is not a good camera. This is the first time we make any youtube thing so I hopes it works. Ok we tried to do it in youtubes but it didn't works so we did it in bloggers. Later on we are gonna upload the talent show we maded this weekend but that has to wait until next week.
Figaro is again doing okay in his toilet trainings. We decided not to give it up for now but we did have to go back a step (AGAINS). It is very boring with him. Also, we did not do much this weekend because Mamaw had to WORKIE.
Oh and Papaw is not mad anymore about the Figaro's activity on top of his comic books because nothing got hurted. We just have to replace the plastic coveralls they are all in with new ones and the box because it is cardboards. I am kinda annoyed though because now we have to keep that room closed and it had a great window sill in there for looking at birdies.

I brings home the bacons - thursday thirteens
10 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 4:46 PM
Here is a photo shoot of me eating bacons which are one of my favorite foods. Of course it is unhealthy and the reason I gots some is because there was leftovers. I likes it. Do you like my bowl? We gotted it at Target with matching spoons for Mamaw to use to put our foods in there. This one is jungle, we have another one that is sea life, and a third one that is turtles, pink and green. I tried to put a Hello Kitty sticker on my bowls but Figaro does not respect that. He likes to taste out of both bowls and I just wait for him to be done and eat the leftovers because I am the polite of kittehs.
Here I will list the thirteen things that I put Hello Kitty stickers on so Figaro will not hog them because they are MINE.
1. The kitty play cube (he can't take it now anyways because he is on a time out from it since he did the #1 on it on my birthday)
2. My food bowls (because he always eats my dinners!)
3. My tail (that didn't stay on good but Figaro always bats on my tail and it is NOT his!!!)
4. My kitty STROLLER (ok that one is fake, I do not have one yet)
5. My kitty bed (that one is not a biggie because Fig never goes in it anyways)
6. My MAMAW. Okay, she said I am not allowed to do it because we are supposed to share her
7. The laser pointer (it was lost under the stove and we just finded it yesterday!)
8. Mamaw's shoes (I did that for Mamaw because Fig is always chewing on them)
9. All my new toys from the partee
10. The best spot by the fireplace (I had to remove it though because parents said it will stick to the floor and make the big of messes)
11. The top shelf of the cat-tree, because it is MINE, but Figaro can't go on it anyway because he is too big to fit!
12. The bathtub, so Fig will stop doing his #1 businesses in there.
13. The 'frigirator, this one is for the parents to know to remember to feed me anytime they go in the kitchun.
Lately Mamaw is very busy with work stuff so since we have to share the internets I can't post very long things. She has a big deadlines in two weeks. We are also very busy for the talent show that we are going to be doing in one weeks. We are taping our performances this weekend and it will be shown at the parent's friend-bean's birthday party that is a talent show theme. Of course we will post the video on-line too, after its big debut!
Thanks again for everyone's great messages for my birthday! I will try to reply to yous guys but it might take a whiles because as I said I don't get internets very much.
Figaro did a good job on his trainings today, he has been going to the toilets all on his own. However I stopped going so frequently and I don't know why that is. I am a little bit apprehensive now, I think it must be the camera. I do not like to be the watched of kitties. I was supposed to do the business of #2 today but I did not do it.

Right now we are pre-partying for my birthday party. Wooo!!!! Mamaw gotted us some temptashuns from Petsmarts when her and Figaro went today, and we got to have some of that. Now the rest is for you guyses who are visiting now to shares. Mamaw says after this she is going to bed and I don't get to open my presents until tomorrow at 7:30 eastern times when we are having about 6 beans over for dinner to celebrate with me. One of the beans is my favorite Uncle Swoop. He is seriously my favorite of Uncles because he always takes care of us if the parent beans leave for vacations and he gives us many treats. He calls me his "Roomie" because I stayed in his 'partment for one weekend when I was a small baby.

Today I posted the invitation to my KittyBloggy ONE YEARS OLD birthday party on the Cat Blogosphere. I am posting it here toos. It is going to be on Tuesday the 25th because that is my real birthday. Mamaw is also inviting her beanfriends over in real lifes for dinner to celebrate with me. But here are some details about my kittybloggy celebration:
Its gonna be ALL DAY LONGS!
1. Mamaw gotted a Cornish game hen for everyone for dinner
2. Also in the evening we are gonna watch our kitty DVD - it has birdies
3. Mamaw will let us have as much homegrown ‘nips as we wants - she said this offer is ONE TIME ONLY!!!
4. I am going to wear my new polo-shirt, and the fig will wearify his polo also
5. I am going to be posting multiple postings to keep up with all the activities
6. And…I am going to give out party favors!!!! For everyone who visitates the kitty bloggy on my birthday.
Also, Mamaw told me not to read Hello’s bloggy because there is a secret on there today, but I did!!! Hello went to Petsmarts and boughted me a present!!!!! I like all her photos on her bloggy today, she looks very brave at the Petsmart. I am very excited, she is such a nice kitty and also my BFF! Only I hope she does not become BFFs with Mimmy insteads because she might once they are allowed to play together. I would never be BFF with Figaro though because he is my brother and a mancat-in-training, and I can only be BFF with girl kitties.
Now I am ‘spose to share some potty news about the Figaro. Lately we have hadded a lot of breakthroughs with the Figaro. For example, the other day he went to the bathroom for a #2 without being told!!! He digged and digged and made a nice #2 right in toilet and not on the floors. Also, we had the library opened all week and he did not try to do #1 on the carpet in there. And we finally got our play cubes back, and he is not doing any #1s in there either! Especially now that we have the baby video monitor and Mamaw and I are poo-poo spies (that’s what the ‘fficial designation is, Hello said so’s!!!) that we think we can make some changings in the setup. We are gonna enlarge the hole but we have to do it some other ways this time or else the Figaro might rebel again and Mamaw is tired of tub/cube/floor/carpet accidents. I am tired of them too. But we are not sure how to do its…if you have suggestionifications, you should let us know.

Usually I pays a lot of attentions to everything going on in our house because it is also MY house and I stay here the longest (Mamaw and Papaw and Figaro all go out frequently). So here are the thirteen things of notable that happened in our house in the last couple of weekses. Our house is even younger than ME and it has so many problematics.
1. There was bad insulatings in our garage so the guy came to put insulatings, but then he almost electrecuted his self and they had to turnoff the power. He had smelly shoes.
2. The electric company came and fixed the electricutions dangers. But we didn't get to watch because we are not allowed in the garage.
3. The washer was leaking so the washer guy came and said he fixeded it. He laid underneath the washer, we liked watching hims.
4. The washer leaked even more so he came again and said he has to order parts from New Zealands.
5. The washer doesn't works anymore it keeps beeping because the washer guy messed with the levels settings - mamaw is MAD!
6. The fireplace guy came to fixed the fireplace because we had a remote control that wans't working., But now the remote works but not the switch because the fireplace guy said it was a wiring thing on ALL fireplaces. But Mamaw does not know how to use the remote so we don't get to have fireplace on anymore even though it SNOWED yesterday. He finally did it after we had to call every weeek for 3 montheses!
7. The guy came (unannounced) Tuesday at 8am to fix a hole they forgot they had in our kitty bathroom. Good thing I wokened up Mamaw at 6 like usuals or she might have been in beds!
8. The guy had to come back yesterday to finish polishing up the hole and painting over the stuffs but he never showed up even though we waited patiently at homes.
9. Today across of the street they started building a new house!!! Maybe Uncle Swoop could move there and we could see him more oftens.
And...some stuff Mamaw and we did in the meantimes....
10. Mamaw lit her toast on fire in the toaster oven and burnded all the insides of the oven, then she had to clean it up for 1 hours. The photo is of me in the toaster oven this summer when it first arrivelled. I runned in there when Mamaw got mad at me for going on the countertop because I thought I could hide, but then I looked so cutes Mamaw took a picture. Now it is all yellowed from getting burneded up on the corners.
11. I throwed up pumpkin all over the nice white carpet and Mamaw had to cleaner it for 1 hours.
12. Papaw went to a business in the DC of Washington.
13. THE VIDEO MONITOR ARRIVELED THIS MORNING!
Well Mamaw is charging up the video monitor and then she is going to set it all up. This is just in time because she thinks we are ready for a new step in the trainings. Yesterday Figaro went to the bathroom all by his self, dug around, and did a #2 in the toilet! We are so proud of him, usually he needs Mamaw supervision before doing a #2 else he does it on the floor. And we have not had a #1 accident for a while. We are super excited about the video monitor, we have to post pictures soon except the laptops for posting pictures is brokens!!! Every computer is breakings lately. AND internets. Also, Mamaw finally gave ins and bought a FURMINATOR. Because Figaro sheds like the crazy of kitties. It is also coming from the Am of Zon.

No business work until the video monitor is here - we drinks Bean Blossom wines instead
4 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 9:04 AM
Mamaw decided not to do any more changes to our toilet setup until the video monitor arrivifies. This means I backtracked and use the Fig setup only, which is a pencil size hole. But so far there has been no more accidents. Here is a photo of me with my purse as I am ready to do some shoppings. Of course I do my shoppings online since I cannot go to the stores, I prefer it because it is more convenients. I am looking forward for my birthday because it is coming in 6 days!!! I hope I get good presents. My birthday dinner is gonna be delicious, Mamaw bought a cornish game hen. I will have everyone out from Cat Blogosphere to celebrates with me! Although I did not send the invitation yet.
Yesterday mamaw drinked some wine for dinner that was called Beanblossom. I knows what a bean car is, and a bean bed. But what is a Beanblossom I do not knows. If anyone can enlightens me that would be greats. Oh and I wanted to adds, I knows wines is bad for kitties so I did not drink any. I sniffered it though and I don't think I would like it anyway.

First, I just have to mentions, thanks to our Uncle Swoop who came over today to fix our internets. We were not going to be able to post anythings if our internets were brokens, so this is really great. He also takes careds of us when parents are gone so he is a good guy but he does not haves any of his own kitty childrens. We gots a new cables of ethernets. It got brokens because Papaw took the good laptop to his trip of businesses. If Figaro had did the #1 in his duffel bag of his dry-cleans-only pants, maybe he would have had to stay home!!!
disciplinarians.) He gets lots of scritches on his stomach when he lays like that. I like to lay like that too but I do not like tummy scritches. Figaro will take scritches anywhere he can get thems. Here also is my tummy which is not so fat but very soft! I am a very sweet tuxie!Labels: Figaro is Good, Veronica is Good
Target Pet Couture is Arrived! the Mamaw went shopping...
11 comments Posted by Figaro the Therapy Cat at 7:12 PM
I am posting a news: Mamaw was at Target and in their Spot Saves section they have got in a new selection of Pet Couture. She got Figaro a hoodie and a polo and also I got a polo! But we are not wearing our polos until for my birthday in a week since we want to wear something news for the party. If your wardrobes needs a little pick-me-up, tell your beans about the sale, the hoodies AND polos are only $2.50 each! They also have shiny blankies that convert to beds, but they looked a little too shiney so we did not get one. They also have got baby blankies some were cute pink with polka dots but we did not needs one.
Blogosphere party!Labels: Figaro is Good, Veronica is Good
First I just wanna say, today is Day 6 that Figaro did not make an accident on the floor. I am glads. Maybe he can finalyl learn to be potty trained. It is also Day 4 of him getting streamed live. So far only a few people have seen him use the toilet streamed live, because he is very elusive and only uses it 3 times per day. Of course I use the toilet too with the LK Amber hole, and today Mamaw spend an hour cleaning the toilet now it is squeaky cleans! Because Thursday is bathroom cleaning day.
Here is a photo of me showing that I am boss of the house. Do you like my fluffy chin fluff?
Now I make a list of for Thursday thirteen. Here are the things of thirteen that I don't like:
2. Not being allowed on the countertop because it is the most fun ever, especially when there is some raw meats up there.
3. Not being allowed to play with the blinds in the bedroom at 4 AM because it is even more fun to make annoying the parents.
4. Figaro when he is being annoying, because sometimes he comes over and sits on me when I am hiding under the covers and gives away my good hiding spots.
5. When Mamaw leaves to go outside and I don't get to come, hint hint, I want a kitty stroller!!!
6. THE KITTY DOCTOR! Because who likes him.
7. When I sit on the bean bag and the Papaw runs over and jumps on it and makes me fly off it and then he laugheses. SERIOUSLY, Papaw, is this the highlight of your days? I thinked so.
8. When Figaro takes my toys, because he always does it!
9. When parents don't give me food just 'cause I ask. I have to wait for mealtimes.
10. When Figaro steals my homegrown 'nip
11. When we don't get any homegrown 'nip anytime we wants.
12. When my bff friend HELLO KITTY'S site goes down and never goes back up again!!! :(
13. When parents don't get me any toy I want for my birfday (coming up, in the one week!!!)

Here is a photo of Figaro when he was the skinny. He is scritching his self. That was a long time ago. This is actually the day of Halloweens when he dressed up in a bow tie. Cute, isn't it.

Here is a photo of Figaro enjoying his catnips. Mom grows catnips for us fresh in a little pot and when we have been good we get to have some. Normally we are not that interested in this particular toy but when there is the catnips on it we are loving it.
On Sundays we had the temperature like 60 degrees of farneheits and I got to go outside for a walks. But right now it is a winter advisory, below 30, and snowing a snowstorms. I can't wait for winter to finish up already! Sunday when I did my walk I practiced following on my leash and got treats. Papaw says we have had more discrete snow events this winter than ever.
Yesterday Figaro did his businesses like a good boy. It has been a long time now since he has peed in the tub although he still thinks about it sometimes, I can tell. Today I also did good but I have never ever had an accident except for when I was a baby kitten the first day I came home I did some #1 on the bedspread because I couldn't figure out how to use the door on the litterbox.

Everything in the house has been going smoothly. Figaro has been good - although we have not changed the setup yet. Tomorrow Mom is going to increase the size of my hole in my setup. We also ordered some cool stuff online from eBay. One, Mom got us some kitty tags with our names on them that are stars. They should be neat, I got peach and Figaro got baby blue. We can't wait til they get here. Two, Mom got us a motion detector chime for the bathroom. It will chime anytime one kitty is in there, so that parents will know when they need to go check up on us.
