"The Cat's Paw Pottery" there's a name for your studio!!

[@Maxrepfitgm]

Pawterry Barn lol

[@keeper6458]

​@@MaxrepfitgmGood one!

[@Vizible21]

Figs Pawtery

[@LovleeBaker805]

Pawtery barn😂thats good 1

[@Cuban20]

"Paws & Pots"

[@mattiacicchetti3778]

Pottery is already a cute and satisfying art, having a companion that keeps you busy and loved is the best thing

[@Pl4sm0]

can't agree more

[@stephw.7874]

PLANK!!

[@dad4ever-c90]

Figaro is the studio's product safety officer, carefully checking each jar to make sure she can get hear head all the way into it WITHOUT getting stuck!

[@pambeforethestorm9784]

Great position! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and she does very well too!

[@BeccaHetrick]

She makes sure they're cat-proof...

[@BeccaHetrick]

She's the QC supervisor...

[@Iwantmoresleepnow]

Fig was definitely an Artist in her past life 😊

[@MatthewCobalt]

From the looks of it, a specific one

[@Ayrton_M]

The comment all of us are searching for

[@exposedcatdiver]

A misunderstood artist...

[@mattiacicchetti3778]

This comment is tied for the best one with mine.

[@docsavage8640]

Current life as well

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I think Fig thinks she's helping. She sees her human putting her hand in the clay as it spins on the pottery wheel. And she's doing the same thing in her adorable fluffy way.

[@docsavage8640]

What do you mean thinks? She is clearly helping

[@BeccaHetrick]

THINKS?! Sweetie, she's the QC supervisor...

[@jenellbarnes4231]

She said Fig was her assistant, but that’s not how cats work. Fig is the boss. She’s doing quality control checks of each piece, and gives her paw of approval when they meet her standards. What a great boss to work with ❤

[@dianeleirer9878]

😆👍

[@mysticfox9718]

“Gasps” you’re right! 😲

[@amicaaranearum]

Supurrvising!

[@leoniep9231]

I cannot believe how sweet their relationship is, and they are sharing a hobby! :) I love everything about it.

[@nishasafiah]

cats love bothering people when they're working because they want to be involved with what we're doing, it's why they sit on computers and homeworks when you're doing it ;) I find it so cute whenever cat parents just let them get involved

[@pambeforethestorm9784]

You are so right! Reminds me of my former cat I had, Smokey, he was a Beautiful charcoal Grey with beautiful eyes, but he had to be involved in every project I worked on at the time!! He was always by my side, helping lol 😅 I miss him so much ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗

[@nishasafiah]

@@pambeforethestorm9784 Smokey sounds like a very helpful supervisor, he wanted to make sure your projects were succesful! Bless his purring soul, hes probably still supervising you

[@Sunari]

Yep every time I put together furniture she was supervising. She tried to help me “hunt” one time when I was just fishing her toys out from under my old desk, and of course tries to help me work sometimes

[@lemon-pop2923]

It's how they bond 😊

[@pambeforethestorm9784]

@nishasafiah Thank you! And I truly believe he Is still supervising me from above! 💛💛

[@JM-hm5dc]

FIG needs to put a pawprint on all the pottery !! People would love it !!

[@thatveganchick668]

YES!! 🐾

[@annaleighnichols4052]

Absolutely!!

[@libbylandscape3560]

That’s what I was thinking! ❤

[@BeccaHetrick]

I would!

[@mysticfox9718]

I know I would love it!! 😃. It can be Fig’s signature! 🐾

[@amandaphillips4344]

fig sticking her head in the cup🥰🥰 she's a total vibe❤

[@lilydascientist9576]

She even played Stardew Valley with you 😭💖

[@normajeancaballero7959]

Figaro!!! Perfect Name for a Perfect Cat. 😻😻😻

[@Miss_Kisa94]

I think it's the name of Minnie mouse's cat

[@tripnsip]

Kitler 😻

[@kolleivory2422]

Kitty is truly an artist at heart!

[@RougeHira]

I believe an austrian one proabably

[@AgentDantheCrazy]

Yup best leader as well (Economy wise)

[@maddie2cool851]

Also in thr past

[@carriebradley7634]

She really must have been a huge blessing during COVID! That time really helped the two of you bond! This was so fun to watch. A beautiful relationship. You simply can't get bored with sweet Fig in the picture! ❤

[@patriciaviczmandy649]

Dont let fig fail art school

[@user-yi1xc7fs4i]

Bless your patience and easy-going nature. What a cutie!!!

[@duckpwnd]

Fig is a master artisan and her creations are easily worth tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Some of them even probably should be in museums.

[@BeccaHetrick]

Meowseums

[@GODDESS1966]

It is beyond sweet that this lady set up a special stool so Figaro could be a part of the pottery process. I imagine most people would shoo a cat away. This lovely lady and precious cay are meant for each other.

[@AmandaBabyyyyy]

I just smiled for three minutes straight watching this, oh my heart!! We can learn so much from cats about how to be good “quiet company”, or how to show support or interest without necessarily using words. Sometimes just having someone there is enough 🖤🙂

[@SimBol1216]

Fig looks like she's going to make some beautiful pottery, create an art portfolio, apply to art school, and become Supreme Chancellor of Germany

[@candidaprout560]

Sweet intelligent kitty ❤️🐈. Be happy forever together

[@Beth-zg6gb]

This talented and kind lady should market a line of her pottery and call it Fig ‘n Me, pieces that her kitty has specially worked on with her. Perhaps she could even sell it where a percentage of the proceeds go to animal rescue. I bet folks would buy it up! 😻

[@kimschubert61]

What a great idea! I would definitely buy something that Fig helped to create.

[@janetmarshall7171]

Fig LOVES HER POTTERY! She is just fascinated looking at the wheel goes round and round!! She is a regular ARTIST!! This keeps her spellbound and occupied!! Maybe my cat would like to have one of these!! I'm going to look into this!!❤😊

[@lisanidog8178]

Cat supervisor. I have two. My boy likes to supervise my cooking and washing dishes. Both he and his sister follow me around. As a kitten my boy would instruct me on proper feeding. If I’m doing my bills either he or his sister would watch. Cats are wonderful supervisors. So glad this cat helps.

[@XARIER39]

I don't remember the last time I saw an animal with such interesting markings.

[@Saerwen_Celeste]

0:42 I know Stardew Valley when I see it. 😘

[@mostlyghostey]

Aw! She's mirroring You! It's one of the ways cats socialize is by copying what you're doing. Like I said it's known as mirroring! My cat comes and mirrors us at dinner. He isn't generally interested in the food (though as he's gotten older he's gotten cheekier) but we put a bowl of water out for him and a stool so he can see everything and he 'eats' dinner with us every night!

[@summerrain7466]

Like mother, like daughter. Soo sweet!

[@frantrictantric]

Cattastic.

[@janemiettinen5176]

My two studio cats raise hell, when I dont let them in! Usually it’s for their own safety, Im either working with resin, fire or something that is toxic to them. Clay is lovely versatile media and safe with cats, Ive made pendants and jewelry trays from their accidental paw prints :)

[@JM-hm5dc]

@janemiettinen5176 I made the comment that all the pottery pieces should have Fig's pawprint !!

[@lebkha]

Sharing a hobby with your fur bestie is the best time spent.

[@1996pola]

So beautiful

[@Justinbrown-ri1bm]

Hello beauty Your profile looks so captivating and your smile so Gorgeous, so I decided to say hi. Hope to hear from you soon!!!!

[@Justinbrown-ri1bm]

How are you doing

[@ring-tailedwhatever5870]

Fig's her protégé ❤️

[@AC-ni4gt]

Wonderful cat mama❤

[@simone222]

Such a delightful story! There's something truly meditative about pottery. Thank you.

[@susanrapp3109]

I love working with clay and cats too. You are very lucky to have such a sweet and entertaining pottery assistant. 😂❤

[@j.l.torres4610]

That cats Mustache reminds me of a certain German guy 🤣😂🤣

[@Mariah-ot4ox]

Such a wholesome moment

[@superomegaprimemk2]

The cat is like: "This won't be PRRREFECT, until it gets my paw of approval!!"

[@abrarmullan1]

Ladies & Gentlemen I present you, Ms. Figaro Potter.

[@originalismisacrock166]

Don't discount the possibility that your cat has an artistic inclination. Had a cat many years ago who would rearrange colorful, portable items, stepping away to view them at several angles, and modifying their placement until he was satisfied. Probably would not have believed in a cat with an art hobby had I not seen it for myself.

[@JamesM_Juhl]

Pets are so lively and good acquaint. Watching this reminds me of my pet Ricky ( blessed memory) . Who I died because of my lack to care and to be available due to the nature of my then job. I miss you Ricky

[@MacKenzie.Sodersten]

Oh I'm grieved reading this right now. So sorry for the your lost. How have you got to cope ever since then??? Did you get another pet to replace Ricky or was your bond with him so much that you couldn't bring yourself to do that

[@JamesM_Juhl]

@@MacKenzie.Sodersten Oh thanks for your compassion dear. Well it took me months to grief Ricky but once secured a well paying home job that pays Thousands of dollars that is pushing some kind of working from crypto investment and it gave me lots of personal time thanks to laura muller ; I got a new Pet in memory of Ricky you know ; now I make it my first priority to ensure his well being and it's being like riding a roller coaster man. Never being more happy. Still miss Ricky tho.

[@JonathanBarnet__]

@@JamesM_Juhl Omg, I'm loving how this sounds. How does one get in on this?? Or maybe get hold on your business partner?

[@czarpavel]

@@JamesM_Juhl I'm retired & i need a job that pays from home lol I really need to get started this is my first coming across an expert recommendation please how to reach her?

[@JonathanBarnet__]

i have heard alot about this expert

[@MatildaSims]

Figaro is a reminder of pets loving bond with owners (parents as I may call us). Watching this I can't help but admire in tears reminiscing about my pet Spike (blessed memory). Lost her months back over my lack of availability because of my demanding daily job😢😢I wasn't always there to care for him

[@MacKenzie.Sodersten]

I couldnt agree more. This illustrates pets bond as it goes beyond just pet onto partnership and loyalty. So admirable as you mentioned. But how are you coping after losing Spike???

[@cruze86]

Cat contents are always trending these days❤ cats are favourite pets of humans these days

[@ScriptScreenSS]

She so cute

[@Bella-D]

Living the dream with mom! Thank you for loving her ❤😻❤😻

[@TurboTarg]

Cutie. Got some skilled paws. 😺🐈🐱🐾 I want that distracting flamingo watering can. 😸

[@user-ph7dp9rr5s]

Besides making biscuits,Fig's a very talented Pawtter too. ❤❤❤

[@itkexperimentator1955]

Fig ist ein sehr talentierter Künstler 👍♥️😍

[@SilverAuntie]

She is such a sweet, inquisitive little girl. I think she really does like to be your assistant, and likes to add her own personal touch to each piece.

[@KasimTurkoglu]

This cat is an artist 😻😻

[@Papabogs1020]

cutest thing to see...😄😄😄

[@ugottabkidding...9942]

The most pawsome assistant you could ever have hoped for! ❤😺❤🐾

[@trevorstockwell8290]

Fig is a great helper

[@t00sa]

Cat: It's missing something... **knocks vase off the table** Cat: There!

[@marcusbingham1625]

❤😍 oh thats so adorable

[@sachinsrivathsa]

Why does the cat looks like.... Never mind. Cute kitty.

[@adamdresch]

Fig is constantly checking the rotation speed of the wheel and making sure there's the correct amount of clay and water. Excellent staff member I think!

[@ScribStat]

Exceptionally good bonding time! Cats love to do what we're doing cause it makes them feel involved, so this must be one of the best times of day for her hehehe

[@vitaliyo5537]

Cats are just fascinating little creatures.

[@riadezabrero]

So many people would buy your pieces knowing it was made with love by you and Fig, you should showcase them ❤

[@MGdawg10000]

Kitler if he didn't fail art school.....

[@demestriu529]

What a lovely relationship. You and fig are amazing. Bless you both❤❤❤

[@KiraCuraMusic]

I loved watching you and fig make pottery together. Gives my heart a little bit of peace since my old boy went to cat heaven a couple days ago. Thank you for sharing this lovey part of your lives❤

[@virginiamassicot2406]

Aww Fig could help mom with pottery. I love it. What a sweet furbaby. Thanks for sharing.

[@krism.9363]

I would love to buy a piece Fig helped make. The more wonky she makes it, the better! ❤😊

[@Davepool-hs7vr]

Fig is such a good little artist

[@hopefulkitty]

Fig is doing quality checks in her pawterry.

[@JodyJoe-JJ]

My cats are inquisitive too they love being included in everything I do. Whether it's chores such as washing dishes, cleaning,organizing, laundry, folding etc.. They also love my belongings like my shoes, accessories,books, linens, dolls/plushes, cushions,any decor, & basically everything i have. They want to be involved in everything & mark, rub against, lay on, play with, cuddle & snuggle on all my stuff.🐈🐈🐱🐱🤗🤭🥰😸😻

[@terrid.2630]

❤ it!!😊

[@clam371384]

How precious, i can watch Fig all day

[@SharonDrummond-by6of]

What a lovely bonding time to enjoy a hobby that you both can do together

[@silviamonz2062]

To all those cat people who,like me lost their beloved friend days ago, please do not close your heart to all future cats,I can't yet immagine who might come live with me one day and there is no way in the world I would talk of replacing but I think I owe it to her that I keep the love we had flowing I got her when she was three and enjoyed 12 years with her I wish it had been many more but I am grateful for every minute with Leonie ,to all of you whose cats are alive do cherish every moment❤

[@dyanshane]

This is so SWEET! I love it! Great mommy, adorable baby!

[@melindarosica926]

Way too cute and it keeps her entertained and not being bored. 😄❤️

[@crystalheart9]

So cute and clever. She is the artist's helper. I had a kitty named Annikah and she loved to help me with my watercolor paintings.😻🖌🎨

[@OnceMoreWithLove777]

0:40 this reminds me of my old cat. He would love to watch me play stardew valley and only stardew valley. No other game would interest him. He’s with the crazy cat lady now, but I still think of him every day. This is truly a paw-ttery cat with good taste

[@SandyHart-jt6sz]

how beautiful that fig wants to be included and takes an interest

[@Gman-cr8rq]

Lady, this video is soo cool. Love your work and your assistant.

[@tmac8394]

The best business partner ever!!! Great collaboration ❤

[@karenritter2574]

Figaro Pawtery, just adorable

[@Sovereignty420]

Figaro is a very beautiful lady! Hope you have many years with her!

[@shahinbadsha8509]

Fig is a very cute cat and companion. As she loves doing everything or get involved in all things daily a suggestion maybe if possible you can have her footprints on the clay object and distribute or sell it in name of Figaro. Bless you both!

[@j.d.youtube6557]

The most lovely little video. ❤ these two

[@einienj3281]

Fig must have been an artist 😂❤❤

[@pamelamays4186]

A good enrichment for the kitty.

Fig has definitely been an certain artists in her past life

Lets hope the cat doesn’t fail pottery school

[@indigowolf556]

I think fig is so adorable and I love her little mustache. I think it's great that she has come to watch you and help out with your pottery and yes like somebody said if she puts her little paw prints on there or does some kind of design definitely keep it❤❤❤❤❤
