Meet Franklin (aka Frankie)

FrankieI was around 10 weeks old when Mommy rescued me on June 6, 2010! Mommy was volunteering at a dog only shelter the day this man came and tried to surrender me to them. She tried to convince him to take me to a shelter that takes cats, but it was pretty clear that if he was turned away I would just end up on the street.

Mommy took me from him and proceeded to call some rescues to see if they could take me. Just like Charm, she wasn’t planning on keeping me! Can you believe that! Luckily for me the rescues couldn’t take me until the next day. That gave me 24 hours to win her over! Thankfully that was enough time for me to wiggle my way into her heart.

It’s an adventure living here! There’s always something that peaks my curiosity. I don’t sit still too much because there are just sooo many things to investigate and play with! I try to play with Brandy, but she thinks I’m too energetic and pushy. She says she’s too old to play like that and wants me to leave her alone. I don’t buy that, so I keep pestering her. She’ll come around, I just know it!

The dogs are always a source of amusement for me. I love playing with Charmie’s tail! Daisy and I hit it off from the start (see video below). I can’t understand why she had such a problem accepting Brandy. I had a heart to heart chat with Miss Daisy about it and things seem to be getting better between her and Brandy. I like to play hide and pounce with Dukie! I’ll hide under the bed and when Dukie sticks his nose under there to find me I pounce on him! Dukie HATES that! I think it’s hysterical! Mom says if I don’t watch it, I’m going to lose one of my nine lives.

Anyway, it has been a hoot chatting with you. I’ve gotta go now. It’s time to go pester Brandy. See ya later!
