:welcome: Melbell, glad you found time away from the auction to post these lovely photos!

Figaro is a handsome beast!   :Luv:

Thank you so much for your kind words, and for all your help!  :)

I love those pictures  :Luv2: :Luv2:

Figbert surveying his fabulash territory  ;D ;D

How much daylight do you have at present ?

 :Luv:

If by daylight, you mean sun - none. However, we still have moonrise and moonset, and the sun does shed
som light even when under the horizon. It's called polar nights. So there's some light around ..11am/14 pm
these days  :) Good conditions for aurora borealis and night skiing  ;D

You would hardly notice any difference at this time of year.  We do get a few weeks of summer though.  I'm a fan of those Scandinavian detectives.  A series is on telly from Denmark for the next few weeks. :hug:


I do hope you are spoiled with a bit more daylight than us  :) I would like those weeks of summer though, please.
May be addressed to the North Pole. It will find it's way here  :dance:

Aaah, I was going to guess at Norway being your homeland as I thought he looked a bit like a Norwegian Forest Cat (although I see from your last post he's not!). Figbert (what a fab nickname  :evillaugh: ) is simply stunning no matter who his parents were! :blow kiss:

 :Luv:
Figbert, Fjodor, Fedora.. he's a sight to be seen for sure  :cat rub:
Thank you for the compliments, I am sure he is in total agreement  :briggin:

a Henning Mankell and Steig Larsson fan, and even more a huge fan of The Killing series, The Bridge and Borgen - I've recorded them all

stick subtitles on something in a Scandinavian drama and I'm hooked ;D

Ah, I watched Broen (The Bridge) as last year's julekrim, or Christmas crime fiction if you will. Maybe I'll make a tradition of it.
Norwegians are very big on crime fiction during easter. We have tons of books and series each year, it's quite delightful.
Shame I'm such a scaredy-cat  :shy:

:welcome: to Purrs melbell, what a time to join amongst the madness of the auction  :Crazy:  :hug:

Figaro is absolutely stunning, just magnificent :drool;  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Is there any pedigree in him or is he 'just' a standard moggy? Whatever he is he's abolustely gorgeous  :Luv2:

What country are you from then Melbell? My geography is rubbish  :-[

Thank you all so much for all of your kind words!  :Luv:

Figaro is an absolutely adorable housecat. I am pretty sure there's no NFO or MCO in his immidiate family,
however I'm certain he's related to some sort of blabber mouth - maybe a parrot

We're Norwegian both of us, but not very mysterious or detective..ish  :)

Kay: Are you a Larsson-fan then, perhaps?

are you Norwegian,Melbell? your English is fantastic

though not as fantastic as your owner ;)

as a great devourer of Scandinavian detective fiction, I feel I know your part of the world without setting foot on it

Hello, and thank you for already welcoming me to Purrs and helping me through
my first Purrs Christmas Auction  ;D

Finally time to settle down and introduce myself properly after joining right in on
delightful auction bids and bickering with several of you wonderful ladies (and gents?)  :)


I stumbled across the Purrs Shop a while back, and after making my first order for
christmas this year, I also found my way to this lovely forum. I live on the North Pole
(almost), and I'm a fairly active user of a smaller, non-english version of Purrs.
Discovering fellow cat enthusiasts, crazy cat ladies and volunteers from other
parts of the world is always exciting!

My furry friend (Yes, I am owned by a single (1) cat :faint:) Figaro was adopted by me
a couple years ago from a lovely shelter. He's still a little jumpy, but has developed into
an extremely social and friendly furball. Main interest: Eating  :innocent:

Very talkative and of course a real charmer  :Luv:


I am looking forward to read and learn more from you guys!
