@Lut: Thanks and yes, this is my real name. Long time ago, I gave up using nicknames, so on all the forums I'm member of I registered with my name.
@Sonia: I had to laugh a bit thinking about the dutch g and how Figaro it would sound *still giggles*
Well, we should meet indeed, over a coffee and some pofertjes Have you been to Utrecht?
About Figaro, he's an adopted kitty from a dierenasylum when he was 3 months old. Been my everyday joy ever since (and my everyday pest but still love him fiercely). This spring he escaped from the house during the night and eventually found him in the neighbour's garden, but I cried my eyes out until I found him, a few hours laters. I still can't imagine how he managed to get out, the kitchen window was cracked only 4-5cm.
He's got lots of personality; likes talking back to me a lot (especially when I tell him he's not allowed to do something ). He doesn't like belly rubs, but he loves ear and under the chin rubs and he purrs like a little engine. My heart melts when I come back home and he's there at the door waiting for me or when he's sleeping with that little angel face of his, or when he's head bumping me (the best spot for doing that is on the stairs when I'm going downstairs )
I have to look for some older pics of his, when he was still a baby; he was so cute.
