Figaro is three years old and when he was between the ages of six months and one years old, Anya took him around to her friends houses and Petsmart to see new people and places. I never thought about taking a cat to Petsmart but that is a great idea, because they meet dogs and people there. When Figaro was one year old, Anya got him registered as a therapy cat with the Delta Society. This exam is a 30 minute test that the cat has to pass to show that he is friendly. After that, Figaro started going to a library reading program every week and also a grief counseling group for kids ages 4-12 every few months. They also went to the nursing home every other week and everyone pats him.  I am sure he cheered everybody up.

Anya trained Figaro to a harness and a stroller. She would also take his carrier to the places that he visited so if the commotion got to be too much for him, he could just sit in his carrier.

The blog tells all about Figgie's adventures in his visiting. Also he is very famous because he was on TV.  There are some great pictures there too.

So it sounds like if you start the kittens out early, they can probably do this. But I am sure it takes a special cat to be able to take all that goes on in the visits. They would have to have a very calm personality to start with, other wise, going to Petsmart etc. would freak them out and that would be the end of that. I had one cat many years ago that probably could have done it. I had to drive from my house down to the main barn where I lived, and Sassy would jump in the truck and ride with me. He loved all people and was a wonderful cat.
