Figaro is a black and white kitten who first appeared in Disney's Pinocchio.

[edit] History

He is probably best known as the pet cat of Gepetto and Pinocchio. Figaro has also starred independently in a number of Disney shorts, as the pet of Minnie Mouse, which was a common theme for Disney characters to be juxtaposed from movies to cartoon shorts. Three of the cartoons he appeared in were his own cartoons; Figaro And Cleo (1943), Bath Day (1946) and Figaro And Frankie (1947). Similar to Pluto, Figaro is one of the few Disney characters who is not anthropomorphized, but just a normal cat. In 1970's Disney mini comics Figaro not only "guest-starred" with other Disney characters/comics but had his own columon on various Felines as "Figaro's Feline Friends". After nearly a 50-year hiatus of not being in any new Disney cartoons, Figaro, like many other Disney characters of the 1940s and 1950s, was cast as a customer in Disney's House of Mouse. While the video game Kingdom Hearts featured a level taking place inside Monstro's belly and included Pinocchio, Gepetto and Cleo, Figaro was absent.

[edit] WWII Mascot

Figaro's most famous appearance is as the mascot of RAF Ace Ian Gleed's Spitfire Mk. Vb Trop while he was in action over the Western Desert and the Mediterranean during the middle of the war.
