Frank the Cat

Messages to Frank - 23rd Feb

That is the cutest cat!! I'm so sorry he had an accident, but am glad he is getting better now. If it's any consolation, my arm is in plaster as I have broken my wrist. Please tell Frank this, to let him know he's not the only one who has accidents.

Get well soon Frank, you're one brave and lucky puddy tat! xxxxxxxxxxx

Just to suggest Frank catches Stefan's morning show from Towson's "The Breeze" via http://www.towson.edu/wtmd/ Stefan's show is on from 10:30 to 15:00 UK time and I've sent a request for some melodic music for Frank. They play a very wide variety (often it is instrumental/smooth jazz). Best wishes, Peter (a cat lover too) Cool, Groovy (says Frank

we just want to wish you a speedy recovery. Bryant

Hi Frank Try listening to Classic FM at www.classicfm. I've asked Jonathon Ray to play you something soothing. Hope you're soon fit and well again! :) Stella

Get well soon Frank. You are looking good on the webcam. Donald Walker Hollywood California

HI, sweet Frank. My sweet kitty of 18 and 1/2 years just passed away last Friday. He was much loved and is terribly missed. In his name, I wish you the very best. Everyone here at Cathospital sends their best wishes

Hi Frank! I am typing you this message from Hamilton, New Zealand. I hope you are feeling better, and that you are well on the road to recovery. You obviously have owners who care about you very much, as you look as if you are being extremely well looked after! When I first saw you on the webcam, I thought what a handsome, gorgeous cat! May you recover soon, and I hope you haven't used up too many of your nine lives! Take care Lauren

hey my little furry friend, get well soon. ill come back and check on u again tomorrow! Frank the Cat is Kool ! :)

Dear Frank Get well soon matey - by the way - I've not got my name from that fooballer bloke - I got there first! - I'm 12 years old and got my name from a bottle of the good ol German liquid refreshment the beer BECKS!!!! Love Becks XXXXX ps My mate Kracker wants to wish you well also, he's 15 years old, 1/2 persian owned by MY owner's parents. Piccy attached! Take care and get well soon! Kracker Sarah

Dear Frank. I think you're a real stud muffin. I'm a shy Persian, white as snow (which I've never seen), and you seem like a real he-cat. I can see you're feeling a little stressed because you can't roam, but I hope your owner is giving you lots of catnip. Hang in there; about six months ago my owner drove over me with her 4x4 or SUV, and I was squashed as flat as a pancake (or as flast as my nose, actually). But I'm much better now. Lots of love, and I'll be keeping an eye or two on you. Pushkin from Johannesburg, South Africa

dear frank I hope you are feeling better and will soon be back on your paws lots of love Samantha and mum xxxxxxxx

Hey Frank, glad to see you looking perky. I enjoyed reading your messages but noticed a very nasty posting in German halfway down Friday's messages - it must have been written by a dirty slavering dog in disguise. It's the one that starts 'scheiß katzenvieh'. I'm not going to translate it all as I know you're still a bit weak, but suffice it to say that the words 'scum' and 'drown' appear in it. Perhaps you could get your nice human to delete it?! Off for a nap now - all this mouse work has worn me out... Oscar (black, four years old and devastatingly handsome) Thanks for the tip, message deleted Frank

I broke my pelvis on the 7th December 2001. I had to stay at the vets until the 22nd December - home for Christmas! I woke to find my tail and various claws missing. I was due to be neutered a few days after the accident. I thought I had managed to escape that until I started to wash myself - Happy Christmas Salem. My owners obviously feel extremely guilty and are feeding and cuddling me on demand. If I don't get what I want I find the best solution is to climb into the litter tray after several hearty meals and kick all the litter out of the tray and accidently go just outside the tray. They cannot get cross as I am still very weak. I am almost back to full health and am even allowed outside. All the best to you Frank. Salem

Dear Frank Hope youre feline better I to had a broken pelvis in an accident and a damaged sacroliac joint it takes a long time to be fit again but keep your chin up. My cat is called Jet But two strays visit Blackie and Sam.

Hi Frank Seen your piccies, hope you get well soon, one of us(Tilly), had a Thyroidectomy last year, so knows what it feels like to be hospitalized and under the weather, but never mind, it gets you lots of attention and special food! all the best! Tilly

Hi Frank, Hope you are feeling better this morning, you sure have mastered the art of sleep. Lets hope your baddie gets better soon so that you can start chasing mice again and ripping curtains like all the other cats. We shall keep watching you to make sure your on the mend (like guardian kitty angels), it's no less than you deserve you brave bundle of fluff. Keep that throat purring Caroline & Paul

Hey Frankie, get well soon puddy. You got more friends than me in lonely ol' cyber space. Got any spare cat food? www.cyberbum.co.uk

Hi Frank Hope you're getting a little better each day. My cat is Minette and 18 so she is very old now and all she does is eat sleep and go to the loo (and dribbles a lot when I stroke her!). She lives with me in Cambridge and sleeps all day while I am at work. It will be a sad day when I don't have her anymore which the vet has said might be soon. Hope you are soon much better, I am sure you appreciate you have some lovely people to lok after you. Love and hugs

Dear Frank. We are two cats who live in Aberdeen, our mum doesn't let us out because the cat she had before us, Oscar, got hit by a car and died and she doesn't want that to happen to us. We were really sad to hear about your accident and hope that you get better soon. Purring is meant to be very good for healing, according to recent research, so we'll do lots of purring for you and hope that it helps. Miaow, miaow, purr purr Joey and Penny xxxx

Dear Frank, Get well soon, Love and kisses, From Tiger and Smudge

Dear Mrs Donnan and Frank and Mr Donnan too Sorry your pussy cat is poorly I hope he feels better soon. See you at school on Tuesday lots of love and kisses and hugs for Frank from Jenna xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Frank, my name is Oliver and I am a Ginge Moggy. I broke my pelvis when I was hit by a car and had was confined to a cage as well. I have made a full recovery as I am sure you will. Good Luck, Love from Ollie!

Hi Frank, I am Gypsy, 10 months old ginger male cat. I hope you get well soon, I sometimes play near the road and my Mum tells me not to because it can be dangerous. Did you get hit by a car? I hope you feel better soon, Love from Gypsy.

WISHING FRANK PURRY WELL PURRY QUICKLY FROM THEIR ROYAL FURRINESSES SAMI & JAK ( &THEIR 2 UPRIGHTS LESLEY & BOB ) Frank thought there was a picture with this but he had some trouble with it!

Dear Frank, Please get well soon! You're a very purrty and lucky kitty and we are wishing you all the best! Hugs and purrs from ginger Whee and black beauty Chainy PS to the owners - Please consider keeping Frank indoors, or build a run for him in the garden, that's what our meowmie is going to build for us, so we can enjoy the sun safely! - .:*~*:..:*~*:..:*~*:..:*~*:..:*~*:..:*~*:..:*~*:..:*~*:. Beatriz http://bea.satachi.com A SHRUBBERY!!!!

Try listening to Domenico Scarlatti's "Cat's Fugue." I hope it will be therapeutic for you, and that you will soon be back to your old self. Another piece you will probably love is: " Le Petit Rat " by Jean Francaix. Take care and keep well away from roads. All the best- Marsha.

Get well soon Frank!

Hi Frank I know what it's like to be poorly. I had my ear channel removed but don't worry you will soon be as right as rain and catching those mice again, like me and baby Holly. Have a purrfect day Poppy and Holly

get your vets to listen to classic FM the music is so relaxing and a sure tonic to puuuurrk you up....

Our two cats, Tyler (22 pounds) and Frosty send their best to Frank for a speedy recovery. They would like to visit him in person, but because of the quarantine laws between the US and UK they will not be able to. Just the same they send greetings and hope all turns out well. Charlie, Karoline, Tyler & Frosty

Just thought that you'd like to know frank has been featured on page 29 of the Daily Express (23 Feb). Good luck frank! Frank says great, I on the other hand have to out into the Snow to get a copy!).

I got run over in December and suffered almost the same injuries. I had to suffer cage rest and did not like it at all. Fortunately I have now been given the all clear and am allowed out again. Last week I caught my first mouse since the accident and I was very pleased with myself. Unfortunately I seem to have lost my tail, but I am now a new sleaker version of my fromer self and my Parents are quite pleased so I am not too bothered! Hope you continue to improve. Relax and don't get too stressed in that cage - I know it is not as big as the Humans seem to think it is (there certainly is not enough room to swing a cat in there!) Take care, Quinn -x-

Hi Frank! Sarah is my horse's vet and she is wonderful!! Put your paws in her hands and you'll be OK. Love Polly Frank thinks Sarah should be on Animal Hospital, get shot of that silly bloke with the beard.

Get well soon Frank-lots of love and much respect due from Bogs (aka 'worlds best cat)

Dear Frank Your owners might not know that certain music can be quite disturbing to cats. For healing, classical music is far better so get them to tune to CLassic FM. Mozart's music helps pulse rate and breathing and can even lower blood pressure so lots of Mozart. Particularly the violin concertos but not too loud. Get well and back on your paws soon. Interesting we'll re tune later

Dear Frank, I hope you will soon be feeling better, and able to run about, and maybe catch a mouse or two. My cat, Oscar, sends his best wishes, and says he is glad everyone is looking after you so well. I have sent my family your web site, so they may send some more messages, get well soon, and when you do STAY OFF THE ROAD!! love Eileen.

get well soon frank! all our catty love Laura and Ange

Get well soon!

Hi Frank, Greetings and get well from a family of Welsh cats, Nadab, Eliazar, Sherah, Ithama and Bathsheba

Dear Frank Hiya, sorry to hear that you have been in the wars -getting plenty of sleep is a good thing for recovery, I sleep 23 out of 24 and spend one hour eating. I have been to the vets recently and my vet said that I was the best 17 year old (cat) he had ever seen. I am still pretty agile for my age, can climb trees etc. I have to say that I have not come face to face with a moving car in my life and the nearest I get is to sit under my Dad and Mum's car on the drive attacking anything that comes near me. I am profoundly deaf (pretty normal in cats of my generation) but in compensation I have the loudest miaow you have ever heard (much to the annoyance of the neighbours and my Mum and Dad). Anyway, GET WELL SOON. Love Bear

We are so sorry to here about your accident Frank, especially that we know you and think you are beautiful. We both hope you are feeling much better. We hope the kind people who found you will visit you. I(Trudi) saw your story in the paper and I am saving it for Hilary. I hope your friends, lovely Ben and George are being kind to you. I would love to have given you a special place in my heart but i already have a delinquent cat called Pansy! She would be EXTREMELY jealous! One of us will be there for B and G on Monday but I suppose you will be tucked away safely. Meanwhile, Frank, get well soon. Love from Trudi and Hilary. xx

Hi Frank! My owner and me are wishing you a fast recovery. Greetings from Germany, Bjorn.

Hello, again Frank. I have just read my other email to you; you must think I am bad at spelling!!,especially as your "mummy" is a Teacher! I was SO SORRY to hear(!) about your accident. Please accept this brief email merely as a spelling correction!! Love from Trudi

Give him, lots of love and attention from me, animals always do better when they know they're wanted.

HEJ FRANK1 LOVE YOU AND I HOPE YOU'LL GET BETTER VERY SOON! KISS

Hi Frank, I see you're up and about. Hope you're feeling better. Get well soon. Love, April and Bikka the cat >From U.S.A.

dear frank please get well soon. Henry

Dear Frankie-kins! "Hello" and a series of warm pats to you from Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Good luck in your recovery, you're obviously a brave little soldier. And please give your wonderful new owners a whiskery kiss as soon as you feel up to it. They certainly deserve one (or two, or three....) XXXXOOOOOXXXX and pats, Cheryl

Hello Frankie Baby, I'm really sorrry about your pelvis, I can identify with you because I have a new metal hip, although I am 60 years older than you. All through your website, I have kept saying aw, aw, aw, poor cat. I have felt very guilty, because I must admit to using my indoor plant sprayer, nozzle set to fine piercing jet, to spray cats who enter my garden and dig plants up before they make other uses of it. Sorry Frankie Baby, I'll reform my ways in future!!!!! Best wishes for a speedy return to full recovery. Maggie. PS. Has your vet made you wear those strong white elastic stockings to keep the circulation going? I couldn't see them from the webcam.

Frank a chara Thats dear Frank. I hope they're pampering you mo ghra. My friend Ruth in Dublin sends her best wishes, but she's a little jealous because she'd like to spend a day in bed at the center of eveyones attention too. Get well soon, and live your other eight lives to the full! Paws

hi.....lovely Frack Hope you can be recovered to health at an early date. smile : )

Hello Frank, Sorry to hear about your injuries. At the moment I am lying on the bed sleeping, dreaming of mice. My owner, val, tells me you are feline grotty at the moment. Wishing you all the best, love Kitty Smith

Hi Frank. You are such a handsome little chap that all I want to do is tickle you under your chin. Please, please get well soon and stay away from that road! If I lived closer I would pop round with some ham and steak.

Hey Frank, this is Minou from Taiwan. I am just 2 month old, not knowing too much about the world, but I know stay in a small cage for so long is no fun at all. Wish you get very soon! your cat pal in taiwan, Minou

My mum, Marilyn saw a piece on page in The Times today and checked out the website. It said there had been 25,000 hits which under the circumstances, I thought was a bit tactless! I love to dribble over the computer keyboard and walk in front of the screen when people are typing. Get Well Soon, Rosie

Hello from Kansas City! It's great to see Frank walking around in his cage. We had to put our 16 year old cat Arthur to sleep this last week, and it is really heartwarming to hear of Frank's story. We hope Frank continues to do well, Paul and Jennifer Leonard

Hang in there, Frank, we know it gets better. On Valentine's Day, we made a visit to a cat hospital and the next thing we knew, we had lost some fur, one of us had threads holding a tummy together and we sure didnot feel like playing. Now, a week later, we are back to running all over the place and driving our housemates wild. Life is good again, and we are sure it will be for you, too.

Here is a picture of our kitty Arthur who has recently passed away. We hope Frank gets back on his feet soon! Best Wishes, Paul and Jennifer

Bobo, and her pal Charlie (who wouldn't sit still to have his photo taken) send their love to Frank and wish him well. Bobo is 16 years old and hobbles around like Frank so she sympathises with him, but at least he has an excuse! Anyway, best wishes from Northern Ireland, and those x-rays are brilliant!

hi ,im very glad thatyou are getting better my mum has told me all about you as i am Sarah Catlings 13 year old daughter. It was a suprise to see u on pg 3 in the cambridge Evening News the other night . WELL DONE get well soon love charlie xx

Dear Frank We were very sorry to hear of your nasty accident and hope that you will soon be up and about on your paws. with our best kitty love and wishes Molly and Felix

We here in Gamlingay wish Frank all the best. We too have a Frank – and a Flo and a Bobby – gluttons or what! all rescued from one source or another, but wouldn't be without them. We suggest that Frank might like to listen to Q103 - local cambridge radio - hilarious in the mornings.

HI Frank i am abeautiful black cat and live at a rugby league ground called Boulevard i am looked after by two nice ladies who feed me very well i hope you are feeling much better and will soon make afull recovery and remember people who do not like cats must have been mice in their last life. Lots of love,Sweep

Lovely Frank Look my snaggletooth Is that funny ? ? By Dai dai

Frank What a famous puss you are - The Times of all papers! I'm sure many people have sent you this already but just in case here you are. I hope you like the stationery. Get well soon Mishka and Ferdi

Hope you get well soon. when I was a kitten the same thing hapenned to me. I was put in a large box with food and litter tray and had to rest for several weeks until my pelvis healed. I'm now over 16 years of age and have an inner ear infection but getting treatment for it. Make sure you rest a lot. Seems you are improving as you're eating and going to the toilet. Love and Cat Kisses Black Josh

Hi, Frank! Please get well soon. Eat lots and grow fur. You have a cool page.

We are four persians and a burmese who read about you in the Sarurday Times and want to wish you a speedy recovery. Our Mum says one of her previous cats had a similar experience and went on to live life to the full for many more years.

Hi Frank and Family. From Colorado, my 5 felines and I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery.

Dear Frank Must be well boring in there mate. Hope you're out soon and can start catching mice again. It'll be bird season soon, you've gotta get better for that. We've caught some pretty big mice this week. Our mum and dad don't seem that keen though. So ungrateful! By the way my sister Raggy fancies you so when you're better you can go out with her if you like. She's well tasty. Let us know if you're interested. Get better soon Love Ollie and Raggy xxx

Meowch! Heal, Frank, heal… It's a dog thing. If there's any truth to the power of prayer, you'll be four footed again in no time. I sure hope you get together soon with the nice psople who helped you get home. All the best, zabacromby

Frank - My name is Billy Joe. I was seriously injured when I was a kitten. My folks nursed me back to health. I know your folks will do the same for you. I live in Houson, Texas, USA, with 6 other cats - William, Roger, Gary, Princess, Hot Shot and Valentine. We are all watching your web site. We all wish you a speedy recovery. Frank Albe

Hi What an excellent idea. All the best to Frank, hope he gets better very soon. The Times article from today does not show correctly, it should have the headline "Feline better". Kind Regards Karl from Scotland

G'day Frank, We are two cats in jail in Bridgend. One day, they put us in cages and they in a dark place that roared for a long time. Then it bumped along the ground and wobbled a lot and roared an even longer time. No wonder we hissed at everyone after we bumped on the ground again and got put in a car. We know cars because our Mommy puts us in a car and it usually means a needle or a cage. This was a cage. We are Australian cats so the cold weather was a shock. But we have settled down and look forward to getting out of jail soon. We saw your webpage and we thought a message from two Australian cats would be nice for you. And even though you are in a cage you can think of us in our big pen. Liz is nice, she feeds us and Adrienne's husband comes in the night to feed us tuna from a John West tin. Next door to us is Camembert from America and there are cats from Zimbabwe and Canada too. We are the only Australian cats. We like Jag, who is a little cat next door, he is spotted. He is a Bengal cat. We all send miaows and we hope you get better soon and please stay away from cars. We have a story too. Mommy says Bedwyr is a Persian Chinchilla with attitude. Hywel Teifi (me) was a dumped cat left in a shopping centre car park after Christmas/NewYear 2000/2001, but Mommy adopted him and now he is sleek and a jetsetter. Liz says I am a champagne tabby and he thinks that is better than being a Chinchilla. (Bedwyr says Chinchillas are the best but I take no notice). Mommy says I am Heinz 57 but we don't know what that means. Frank, you have cat friends. We are happy Aussie cats and we will put another prawn on the barbie for you when you get out. We hope that is soon. And here is a message only you will understand: Prrut, prow, purr, mew, miaow. Hahaha! Love from the Ozzie Boys at Starwinds Quarantine Cattery, Coety, Wales

We are two cats that live in the US and are glad to hear you are healing. We spend a lot of time with our family, so it must be tough to be confined to the cage. Hopefully you are back in health soon and can resume your usual cat schedule. Take care, keep eating and thank your folks for all the kindness and care.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Frank from Nelson

what a brave boy! hope you will soon be feeling much better. love helen, richard & brock & mac (two dogs).

Best wishes Frank- hope you will soon be in purrfect health.

Frank, Heard all about you from your neighbour Janet *before* the cambridge evening news broke your story. You were so lucky, let's hope you'll be more careful next time!! Take lots of rest and drink plenty, this advice came from my Mum when I was ill and it always worked for me ;o) Lots of love from Sam and all her rabbits and guineas xx

Greetings from Germany. Our Mommy told us about your accident. Get well soon Frank. You are just a lucky boy. Hope the hospital food tastes well.

Dear Frank glad to see you are on the mend hope you are soon running around . GOOD LUCK from kez the jackrussel.

my fuzzy friend Sidney sends his best wishes to Frank. Go to www.moggies.co.uk to see a great article about Frank (what's new section).Sorry I don't know how to link it. Will keep checking on Frank's progress Best Wishes - Carole Thanks, we'll take a look after we finish this update

Hello Frank Glad to hear you have had better luck than our poor Flora who did not recover from his meeting with a car one spring day several years ago. We know Flora is a girly name, but did not know he was a boy when we named him. He suited it anyway, the big softy. We hope you continue to make good progress. Love from Ian and Geraldine xxx

Hello Frank, awwww you poor puss, you have been through so much sweet darling. Hope you make a great recovery which you should do , given your cheeky nature and caring owners (you chose well). Wishing you lots of love and adoration (with regular smatterings of chin rubs, ear caresses, just-behind-the-whiskers-rubs and paw massages) (and that's just for starters!) Thinking warm thoughts for your return to good health, Lots of rubs and kissies from us humans and our fellow felines XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Frank, get well soon. Many Greatings from Berlin/Germany send to you your Brother PAUL see you next time,ok!?

Keep up the recovery - you've still got eight lives left! Love Two silly old cat lovers
