Is your cat named after the Mozart opera?
I went for classical composers for mine. Had Mozart and Sergei (Rachmaninov).
That way you could call itπ΅ "Figaro, Figaro, FIG-a-ro" πΆ
I'm guessing it's probably a Tuxedo cat named after the cat from Pinocchio.
That was the one stuffed animal I chose during my single visit to Disney World in the 80s.
I'm retrospect, I wish I had gotten that gross little gremlin from the Captain Eo ride, but I think I was too flabbergasted to make any purchasing decisions when we passed through that gift shop.
Edit: The gross little critter was named 'Hooter'.
I knew most people who think about the Marriage of Figaro, but I've just always really liked how the name sounds. Since both my previous cats already had name when I got them, I had to wait a while for this haha.
Fun facts, Figaro is completely black (not tuxedo like the Disney character), I'm actually a composer (not much in classical music tho), and there's a nice song by MF Doom named Figaro.
