Messages to Frank - 12th Mar page 2
Hello Frank,
I heard the story of what happened to you yesterday on Radio 2 and I just wanted to wish you well. I have 4 cats at home and one of them, Paddy, the naughtiest one(!), broke his pelvis a few years ago. We never found out how it happened - perhaps somebody was driving too fast along the road and knocked him as he crossed over. Anyway, after being locked up in a cage like you for nearly 8 weeks, he made a full recovery and now runs around the garden like a greyhound! I'm sure it will be the same story for you very soon. During your recovery, I would recommend you listen to Radio 2. All the light hearted humour and easy listening music should help you feel better in no time at all.. Well I will keep checking on you every day and will look forward to seeing you walk out of that cage once you are ready, hopefully very soon. Lots of Love, Clodagh xx p.s. Paddy, Sean, Nell & Tara send their love and a lick to you too.
Dear Franky
I can see by your latest picture that you must be feeling better today because you are having a wash and brush up. All good wishes for the future and please stay away from the road. Love and licks from Sandy, Chester and Felix.
ps - Chester is off to the vet tomorrow to have his teeth done - ouch!
Hey Frank,
It's nice to see you awake!!! You have a lovely face and a beautiful coat! Glad to see that you are getting much better, it won't be long before you're terrorising the humans again! we can't wait for our humans to come home from work tonight so we can race up their backs and cling on with our claws! Well, we've just had another quick look at you and guess what, you're asleep! you must be the champion sleeper, even we don't slep that much!!
Love from your two admirers, Simba and Nahla
p.s. hope to hear from you soon

Frank!
I saw all about you in Metro today (12th March) so
I looked at your website as soon as I got to work (naughty me). My cuddly blue Pilchard cat which sits on my computer was very interested and sent you lots of purrrrs. We hope you are feeling better soon.
Frank mate....you are not alone!!!!
My little black cat, Hamish, was hit by a car last Wednesday but is recovering well. His claws were all scagged and he lost alot of fur and skin off his head (Last of the Mohicans!!!)
But he has recovered well enough to bring me a baby mouse at the weekend. So all is as it should be!
All the best.
Luv
Sian
Frank Baby!....get well soon...I know what U are going through,been there done that.....
A big power scratch to U when U feel up to it!

I love you Frank, do me.
Dear Frank
Bydd well yn fuan! (That's get well soon in Welsh...I think!)
With lots of Purrs
Clair, Gaz, Puskas, Seren and Eva
Don't worry Frank, Our old and ex-cat Honey had years of top performance after such a accident. Her Pelvis was broken too.... She could still jump on our shoulders too.... You only have to sleep the boredom of getting fixed up.............
Hi Frank,
We hope you get better soon. Remember the Green Cross Code!
Lots of strokes and kisses from George, Julie and Scrappy the dog XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Frank!
Glad you're feeling better. Can't wait to see you totally repaired and bouncing about again. Why don't you listen to BBC London Live with Robert Elms? 9:00am to 12:00pm Monday through Friday. He covers loads of London landmarks and may give you new places to think about roaming... albeit, safety is paramount!
Poor old Frank, I'd hate to be confined to a cage. We're all thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. M.x
Oh, Frank. I heard about you on Steve Wright's radio show yesterday and couldn't wait to see how you were doing today. I am just pleased that you are doing so well and hope that you become fit and healthy soon. Lots of Love Samantha. xxx
Hi Frank, in your picture you look very hansome and i am looking for the button to take me to your web cam, i am only 2 and hav' had much practice on a computer, could you help, much meow Molly
Hope you get better soon little man,
all the best from John and (Anne) Frank the cat
Hi Frank, I think you're a really cute moggy, hope you feel better soon, must be well boring being stuck in a cage, whenever I used to put my cat Poppy in a cage to take her to the vet she used to make a noise like a strangled hen.
love langers xxxx
Dear Frank,
We were sorry to hear about your nasty experience
and we all at the Winning family household ( inclueding the cats ) are sending you our best wishies and hope you make a speedy recovery.
All the best,
The Winning Family.
I think Frank should be listening to Totalrock.com. They're playing Cat Scratch Fever for him right now and Sarah Miles, the host, is in love with Frank.
Get well soon Frank.

Hello Frank
I read about you this morning in Metro, the free newspaper given out on the London Tube. You made page 6 - headline 'Cat at click of a mouse' by Jamie Walters, with a photo of you in your cage next to a laptop computer.
I think you're very pretty, and I was very sorry to hear about your accident. Get well soon!! Mary
Mew Frank,
Mum's been telling us how she watches you on the internet and that you're getting better from a accident with a car. Paw you. We're glad you're going to
be fine. You're a real celebricat now with world wide fame!! Can we have your pawtograph? Lots of love, mews, purr and furr, Der Boys DeNi and Paci xxxx
HIYA FRANK!!!
We are three happy kitties living with Tracey here in Bartley Green in Birmingham. I'm Jake, the eldest, a rather gorgeous black and white cool fellow, and my two pals are Sam (Mr Kind Cat) a tabby and he is nearly 2yrs old, and Pickle (Mr Curtain Climber) who is a mad tabby and is about a year old. We are all rescue cats and LOVE your website, our Mum told us all about you when she got home from work today after seeing your site in the Metro newspaper.
Anyway, DON'T get too bored........we love Radio Two TOO!!!! Especially Sarah Kennedy!
Get well SUPER quick........we send all our face rubs and whisker tickles to you!!! Mum Tracey sends a smooch too. Lots of love, JS&P xxx
Hi Frank
We live in Cape Town, South Africa, and our human in London told us about you and suggested we send you a message. Us cats are very special and sensitive creatures so we know lots of love and attention always does us good. You must get well soon and please let us know how you get on.
Love Ash and Bobby
Hello!
I noticed that you got Frank from Wood Green animal shelter. Was it actually the one in Wood Green, North London?
I thought I'd ask because I just wondered if the local newspapers in the area knew about Frank. I'm a student journalist living in Wood Green and I thought it would be nice to write something about Frank is nothing has been written already.
Please send my best wishes to Frank from me and my cat Jasmine!
Frank says: No I'm from Wood Green at Heyden near Cambridge
Hope u get well soon frank!!!!
Hi Frank,
hopin u get well soon! My human slaves says that u are always welcome to visit me here in Helsinki, Finland. They are keeping me inside to avoid same problems that happened to u. I'm still trying to escape trough the window no matter is it open or not (well, this is only the 4th floor).
Dear Frank
our cat Squeaky was very upset when he heard that you had been hit by a car.
He's asked me to send you a photo of himelsf, so tha tyou know what he looks like.
He hopes you get better very quickly.
We hope that you keep on making a good recovery, we had a poor little cat once called Cherry, we had just moved to our new home and she ran across the road and the same thing happeded to her, lucky for Cherry that she only had bruising to her back legs, I will send you some healing.
Lots of love & Hugs

Hi Frank,
We mentioned you and your site during our newspaper review on Central Scotland' Real Radio this morning on our paper review.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hi Frank, what is it with boy cats that they have to find cars. Just stay home (like we do). Love from Martha (aged 17) and Araminta (4ish).
Hi Frank
My names Smudge. About 12 years ago I got run over by a car and broke my pelvis. Like you I spent 6 weeks caged in the bottom of a built in wardrobe. My sister, Tabby, used to look through the bars and tease me as she was free. However i soon showed her who was the boss when they let me out again. I made a fully recovery like I am sure you will. My vet said I might have some rummortism (cat spelling) when I got older so my family moved me to Australia to live in a warmer climate. I am now an old hat at the lizard barbie and my joints are purrfect.
All the best from Smudge ( downunder)
Frank has made it to this PC magazine's web site http://www.athomewithyourpc.co.uk
Get better soon Frank!
Hello Frank,
we all hope you get better soon, and can come out of your cage,
we're all watching you :-)

hello! i love cats and have one of my own called graham he is well spoilt and just so lovely i hope you get better soon and dont worry the Karma police will catch up with those who knocked you down and then left you.
best wishes
love kim
Frankie-boy. check out Xfm (104.9), they do some trendy music at times. But be careful, too much dancing is not good for your (p)elvis.
I found out about this web-site at http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/animals/default.stm
I really like the web-site and hope Frank feels better soon.
Get well soon Frank, we are thinking about you.
Get well soon from all at The Bitmap Brothers, we saw you in today's Metro!
How you doing?
I hope you get better quickly, and I'm sure you'll find a lovely home. Good luck to all the other moggies out there as well. lots of love,
kat cook, manchester
Now then Frank, you should be a lot more careful crossing the road in future. when my cat (also called Frank) was about 3 months old he broke his leg. He cost us a lot of money and worry.
Please get well soon and be more careful

Hi Frankie baby, I hope I can make so bold! Heard all about you from my husband who read the BBC website. I must say you look remarkably laidback for a cat who's gone through so much, I'm not sure my own moggie,Sophie would be so patient. However, I'm glad that you're now causing trouble by trashing your your cage and generally beginning to cause mayhem, a very good sign I'm sure- you'll be in fighting form any day now! I'll keep checking to see how you are. Lots of love Alison x P.S. You really do look gorgeous, so handsome!

Hi Frank
it's Kaya the cat here, you may remember me from Wood Green Animal shelter. I live in London or rather my owners lap who happens to live in London. My hobbies are Pidgeon spotting, sleeping & eating, although I've been on a diet recently coz i'm almost a stone in weight,in fact for the last 18 months I've been eating science diet weight control and I'm still gaining the pounds.
Sorry to hear about your accident, I hope you make a full recovery soon. Maybe when your better we can get together for a night on the tiles.
Lots of cuddles, strokes & love

I understand that Frank is currently in a cage because he is recovering from hit-and-run related injuries, but I do hope that when he has recovered he will be let out of the cage, and will not be kept there for webcam amusement purposes...? I'm sure he will, but I just wanted to make sure...
While bored and unhappy at work, we sneak onto your webpage to see how you're doing. It's so relaxing to see that most of the time you're looking a tad spaced-out, but happy - considering the ordeal you've been through. All the best from Romania, as well as all of Bucharest's street cats.
dear Frank,
the lady I live with is typing this as my paws have trouble with the keyboard! I must say that you and i look almost the same!!! perhaps you and i are distant kin! I certainly wish you a SPEEDY recovery and will say a prayer for you!!!
fondly,

Dear Frank,
Get well soon.

Hi Frank! Sorry to hear about your accident, but it's good to see that you're getting well! I've been watching you on the computers at Uni (it beats doing work!). You have my sympathy being trapped in that cage, my cats never liked being put in a cage. But it looks like you're recovering well, and should be out in no time! Oh, by the way, my cat Mike likes eating and sleeping as well, you'd probably get on well with him then!
Hi Frank,
I'm sorry to hear about your accident and that the nasty driver didn't stop to help you. But it looks like you are on the mend now. I saw your picture in the metro newspaper so I thought I'd have a look on your website. Its a very flattering photo of you. I think you could be superstar material! I hope you are feeling much better,
Lots of love
Katherine
Dear Frank,
How awful to be in a cage! But wonderful that you have a loving human to care for you.
When I'm left alone my human leaves me with a Cat Adventure Video to keep me amused- between that and the birds in the front garden I'm set up for a day of sun baths and telly. Does your treatment allow videos and bird-watching?
My human broke her pelvis over a year ago- I purred it better, though it took some time! Sending you lots of purrs & love, Daisy
(Wimbledon Village)
Dear frank,
We've just found out we've got mice in our office...
When you are better will you come and help us get rid of them? I'm sure they'll be very tasty!
Get well soon luv...
Frank
Get well soon...with much love from my two cats Lennox & Lewis and me Sara xxx
With so many "Leo" connections (apart from starsign) is it any wonder I like cats? :-)
I had to leave my two cats behind when I moved from England to Denmark, so Frank, you'll do as a cyber-cat.
Get well soon, Frank.

We wish the prompt recovery to a cat !!!

Hi Frank, what a horrible thing to have happened to you, my cat Jake had the same thing happen to him last year, but unfortunately I had to have him put him down. Life isn't the same without him, but it's lovely being able to watch you get better, Lots of big furry hugs. Jxxxxx
Frank
Me and my cat Woody hope that you feel better

oh oh dear me frank you have been in the wars, i dont really like cats as i think they are too selfish but you are making me love your feline ways of the cat, hope you get better soon lot of love stoo
Saw an article about Frank in the Metro today. It is a free paper available to passengers on London Transport. You are avery famous kitty and I have told my friend about you in Canada, so you will have even more friends, because she will tell everyone in Canada about you too!
God Frank, you're getting more media coverage than Pop Idol (about time too)! Saw an article on your present situation in today's Metro newspaper (Manchester) while I was travelling on the bus. Unfortunately, the article didn't provide a web link, so don't expect too many more new hits on your site.
Anyway, it looks like you're having fun - you're in the same position you were yesterday - asleep! Well, I suppose you are a cat.
Speak later buddy.
Jon Schofield.
Sue, Paula and Caroline (mad cat lovers) wish you a very speedy recovery.
All our love

Hi Frank and co
I was looking at BBC on line and there were in the spot light again!! What a star If you want to have a look here is the link http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1866000/1866406.stm
I would like to say thank you to you as you make the day go quicker as I watch you looking so sweet sleeping and you remind me of my cat at home called Maddie.
Anyway I had better get on with some work. Hope you continue to get better really quickly
Look after yourself
Louise
Meow Frank!
Love your site, and so do our humans. Tell your humans that they've done a fantastic job in setting up the webcams. You look very cute sleeping there, though we don't blame you for trashing your cage the other day.
We're two tabbies who live in north London and we like nothing more than to eat, sleep, chase birds, play, and scratch up the furniture. Our favourite radio station is XFM, though we don't know if you're able to receive it in your empire.
We want you to get better soon, and stay out of those busy roads!
Lots of chirrups and facerubs,
Victor (king of all he surveys) and William (the handsome young prince)
Hi Frank, My name is Sophie, and I am a beautiful and cuddly tabby cat who is looking for a boyfriend, as unfortunately I have just recently lost my previous boyfriend Gus in a tragic accident. I eat lots of food, love sleeping and I would share all of my toys with you. I enjoy watching the sunset whilst grooming myself on the patio. I am very sorry that you are unwell at the moment, but I am sure that you will make a speedy recovery and then we can play! Please let me know if you are interested as I would love to hear from you. Lots of Love Sophie (or soapie to my friends!) xxx
Hi,sorrry to hear about your accident. Next time remember the car is bigger than you. It cannot be beaten. Get well soon
Best wishes for a speedy recovery from all at the Duty Team.
Best wishes Frank - hope you are up and about and feeling PURRRRRRfect again.
Frank, you made page 3, (I thought that was reserved for the other felines!) of The Herald today (Tuesday) and on the BBC News web page.
Headline reads ' Cat and mouse route to instant fame'
You certainly have a lot of fans - 62 valentine messages!
Thinking of you. Lots and lots and lots of love

Dear Frank, hope you get well soon. I was reading the Metro this morning and read about you. I'm a cat from Chingford in North East London. Take care and look out for those cars in future. Love Nipper
Hello frankie.
I hope you are feeling better. It must be really ungroovy not being able to get out of your cage for all that time but you will be ever so better when you come out.
My cat Devo says big "miaows" to you and he also hopes you are feeling better very very soon.
Big hugs darlin

Dear Frank,
My cat, Lou Lou, knows exactly how you feel... he broke his leg (the right leg). When he came in the house, the bone of his leg was sticking out.
My family and I thought it was a car, but no one was sure. My mum took him to the vet as an emergency.
It happened on the 22nd of August, 2001. That morning (before going to school) I cried; I was so worried and sad.
He stayed at the hospital for a long time and it cost a fortune.
I hope you live on for all your nine lifes.
Lou Lou miaows, I hope you get much better and recover fast!!! I say, Good Luck and I'm crossing my fingers for you! Your friend, Berengere Sim (pronouced Bear-an-jere)
Hello Frank, you poor little chap, I have told all my friends to look you up. Perhaps with so many people and their cats wishing you well you might heal a little faster. My special friend Misty (aged 2 and a bit, blonde, one blue eye one green) sends her love - she says "don't trust those car things one inch" Get well soon poppet. Lynne
Miaow. Get better soon
in metro london...excellant
Franck:
I hope that your recovery will be faster than the schedulled. I know that it must be hard for you to be stuck on that cage, although it seems a very confortable one. Anyway, get beter soon so that you can come out and play a lot. Perhaps you can visit me here in Lisbon.
Vasco
Sorry to hear about your disaster, Frank. Hope you heal fast, but complete. Also, please advise your human that the date on his camer is off. I checked website on 3/12/02 and it showed photo being taken on 12/02. Neat trick if it's real. Wanna share the secret, or did I screw up when I came back this time? ;-}
wolfkat!
Get well soon Frank hope everything is ok
keep entertaining the public good luck.
Hi Frank
Just thought I would drop you a line to say I know what you are going through. I had my pelvis broken in three places back in May 2000. Man the cage is boring! boring! Hang in there though I fought my usual instinct to ignore my humans and did as they asked and just chilled out, and hey presto! I'm as right as ninepence!( My only advise is hang out on the food front, don't eat the usual mush! you're ill for goodness sake! They will soon feel sorry for you. Mine did and I was rewarded with Tuna!) They invented those big metal monsters anyway. au revoir and Bon chance!
Treacle(tricky doo to my friends)
dear frank I hope you are getting better to come out of hospital soon I saw your picture on the internet my friend Micheal told me about the insedent ...............
Dear frank I hope you are getting better after the road accident you had.I read your story in the papper this morning[12/3/02 on the bus and saw the website address so when I got to school I asked my teacher to go on the internet after my lunch[12;30].At the moment I am on your website sending Frank A message. Hopefully I will be able to come on the PC tommorow to see how you are getting on.BYE FRANK.
Hiya Frank!
Glad to hear you're feeling better - just keep away from roads in future! I don't have a cat at the moment as I am out so often but I 'borrow' Fred from next door who is black and white and resembles the Felix advert cat! I'm pleased you are turning into a superstar - can I have your pawprint? I shall watch you often so please wake up occasionally! Purrs and strokes Pam
Please put Radio 1 or Capital on. Radio 2 will send him to sleep if on for too long.
2 Questions -
Firstly - whereabouts is Frank? Is he living next door to a pub, or was he taken to a pub when he was injured?
Secondly - Why does the poor beast have to be confined to a cage just because he is unwell? Let him roam.

Frank says: Err, have you read the site ?
Dear Frank!

Saw an artical about Frank in the London morning Metro newspaper. I used to have a dog called Frank and loved your 'Wonky Fronky'. Really enjoyed your website Frank, sorry to hear what happened to you but your site is absolutely brilliant. Get well soon.
Would Frank like to come away on holiday when he is better as my owners run a B and B in the beautiful Sussex countryside. If you visit my website you can see me asleep on one of the beds. There are lots of mice on the farm to hunt and we could sit on the wall together and look out to sea and watch the ships sail by. It would be a purrfect convalescence for you! Have a look at www.wickhammanor.co.uk
Hey Frank! You´re a lucky guy!
Keep being strong, cutie, and soon you´ll be home.
Kisses from Brazil

Hello Frank, we hope you are feeling better. Our Mum Sharon also sends her best wishes. If we could we'd send you some of our freshly cooked chicken to help speed your recovery!

You are so brave Frank. I could just give you a right big cuddle. Get well soon!!

hola
Frankie-boy, you should eat something too!!!
Wake up! Get better soon
my father (and he's still alive today, aged 83) always swore by the sound and quality of the cat's whisker radio - perhaps this would be best for you?
Get well soon Frank

Dear Frank
I was also the victim of a nasty hit and run driver over Xmas and had a broken pelvis, broken leg and collapsed lung. Like you I was confined to one room for 6 weeks (not fun at all) and I had to wear a bright pink bandage on my leg (and pink is not my colour).
It is now 2.5 months since the accident and I have made a full recovery and am back to climbing trees and watching the traffic so please don't be too down. At least you get a lot of human attention and yummy energy-building food.
Take care Frank and hope you make a speedy recovery.
Love Rolo (aged 1) xxxx
i have a wee kitty called tigger and the one i had b4 was hurt really bad by a car we had to send him to the cat heaven. i hope frank gets better soon.
Hello Frank, Hope you are feeling much better and getting all the sleep and food that you need. With Love and Hisses from Jasmine and Annabelle the Horrible Siamese Cats in Godmanchester....just up the road from Wood Green and where our mum promises to send us on a permanent holiday!!!!!
Hello Frank
How are you - I hope you are getting better. I am very pleased to hear that we have so much in common - I too love eating and sleeping, as does my feline
companion Wellington. However, his favourite snack is fresh rabbit and he brings them home to share with me. The only trouble is he leaves fluffy bits behind
the sofa when he has eaten enough because he doesn't seem to know where
the bin is. He is also great at shedding hair, especially on my suits which I have laid out to wear for work.
I am very glad that we humans have the privilege of sharing our lives with you cats - but I won't praise you up too much just in case it goes to your head! I am
very very glad that you are recovering from your dreadful ordeal and wish you all the best for a healthy and active future. Wellington says hello and if you don't
like fish cat food he'll take it off your hands.
Best wishes from a well-wishing fan XX
Hello Frank
Hope you get better soon. Meeeow....
Looking forward to seeing you stand, or even be awake!

Hi Frank!
We are Branston and Lily - two friendly moggies - writing to wish you a speedy recovery! Although we haven't seen your website our owner has told us all about you and we asked her to send you this note. We hope you're not too bored in your cage. Hopefully you're not as our owner did say that one of your hobbies was the same as ours - sleeping! We love to sleep!! Last night one of us (Branston) was asleep on his back with his legs in the air and they kept twitching because he was dreaming. Anyway hope you're feeling OK and you'll soon be back to your old self.
Lots of love, eye blinks and head rubs from Branston & Lily xx
Frank was in the Metro (free London daily paper) this morning, great picture!
Could you possibly put out a message about my missing cat Lucy? She has been missing since March 2001 from the Layer Road area in Colchester. I miss her very much. She is black and white (mostly black)and about 2 years old. It is a real mystery as to what happened to her.
Thanks
Caroline
Frank says: I think we've done that :-)
Dear Frank,
We hope you get better soon. We are two cats living in Battersea, South London. We are brtohers and are 4years and 3 months old. Harry is Black with a white tummy and Louie is a brown/grey/beige/dk brown tabby!!
Harry and Louie XXX
We were informed of your website when our pet human showed it to us in the Metro Newspaper today!
All the best mate, get well soon. My vet says I picked a fight with a 4 wheeled monster when I was younger, and got away with a broken jaw, still that was 16 years ago, and I'm still here to tell the tail (tale).
My owner says this is a great web site and he hopes you will be up and about soon

Read about Frank in "METRO" (London freebie - page 6) this morning! So he must be in one of the national papers as well, as Metro seems to get all its news from other papers!!
Hi Frank,
My friend, Isobel, and I think you're very cute. Unlike my own cat called Twinkle, otherwise known as Dameon The Devil, The Serial Killer or Mashetti Man. She is absolutely bonkers. She attacks anything which moves. No one can stop her!!!!! Even my dog is scared of her. On a full moon, she goes out killing people with a big electric chainsaw! Watch out Frank!!!!!!! She could target you next!!!!!! Loads of love Helena and Isobel
I don't see much point in sending Frank a message seeing as he is a cat and can't read!!
I just wanted to say that I hope he is being looked after properly, and whoever ran him over and drove off should be disgusted with themselves!!
I am a big cat lover and have no idea how someone can be so cruel as to just leave him laying in the road!!
P.S i hope the majority of the money you are making from posting this web-site is going to a animal charity and not in your pockets.
Frank says: What money???
Hi Frank,
My cats Smokey and Swueak send their love and hugs
Kells xx

Kisses to Frank. I wait stay ok.
Contralulation for your work.
Sorry for this writing. I don't understend english.
Embrace.

Frank, you look amazing can't wait to see you on ur paws again. I had a road rage incident myself the other day and also found that drivers can be not very helpfull after an accident,
Frank says: Yes I agree, it should be law
Listen to JazzFM Frank, you'll love it
http://www.jazzfm.com
Besides its in London.
Frank says: I know I listen to it a lot
Hope you get well soon. We also have a cat at home (Whisky) who was a stray and a little worse for wear when she came to live with us. Now she is the size of a bulldog and runs around like a lunatic. Take care and we look forward to seeing pictures of you running around and eating lots (and not just sleeping).
Frank says: Running????
Why don't you give Frank a bigger cage. He looks very claustraphobic, almost dead in fact. I hereby wish to start a GIVE FRANK A BIGGER CAGE CAMPAIGN. Whos with me?
Frank says: I'm not, remember the cage is to restrict my movement so I can get better, if you want to prolong my pain and suffering then you cruel.
Hello Franky,
Just to let you know that you are in The London version of Metro today on page 6. Get well soon. Love, Charlotte
Dear Frank
I am a 16 year old female cat living with my family and four other cats in London. When I was one year old I fell 90' from a roof. I lost a couple of teeth (not so good for a girl cats looks) but the worst this was my messed up back leg. Apparently it was completely shattered in several places. However, the nice vet man operated on me, and put loads of screws and pins to hold it all together.
So I know what you are going through - you will be OK but a bit sore for a while. I am still fine after all these years, complete with metalworks! By the way, I can still jump, climb, scratch and catch mice to play with.
Get well soon.
Hi Frank
hope you aren't too bored while recovering and hope you get much better soon. I have just recovered from an operation - at least you don't have to wear a circus clown collar!!! They make you very clumsy and you keep bumping into things - also I couldn't get out of my catflap and had to use a smelly tray in the hall to go to the toilet. Take care and thinking of you MARY KAT XXX
Battersea dogs home would just like to send you best wishes on a speedy recovery!
>From the staff, all the dogs and especially all the cats here at
>Battersea.
Frank says: Brilliant, thankyou
Hi frank. This is Stacey Manning from stevenage. I watched your report on anglia and i was so sorry that such a terrible thing could happen to such a gorgus cat. I have loved catz since i was a little kid. I hope you get well soon from stacey.
Get well soon!!!
Just to let you know that there was an article in todays (Tues 12th March) Metro, which is a newpaper published in the West Midlands. It is given out free at train stations and on the buses in the mornings. The web site address for Frank was in the article and as I love cats I immediately looked it up at work! I had not heard of Frank until this morning. I'm so glad that he is well on the way to a full recovery and survived such a nasty accident. Mind you, I have yet to see him move, although every time I go back to the site he has mysteriously changed positions!
hi cuttie i'm daisy a 4 year old torttershell you r the cutist tom i no, do u get moodey like my older bros sofa and winny, r u with nice peps i am, my mummy my daddy and my 2 sisses bex and emz it'll be bexs birthday soon; it woz bex that i woz wathing the news with. i saw you on the new and i fell in love
Anyone who carries out a hit and run, be it deliberate or not is no doubt a heartless individual!
Frank, you poor thing...you are living proof that cats have 9 lives, treasure your remaining ones.
Here's hoping that the person who did this to you is haunted by his/her conscience for the rest of their life.
Wishing Frank the health and happiness he deserves.
C. Barfoot (South African living in the U.K)
Frank,
Please get well soon. We are thinking about you.
Best wishes,
Ally and Be (both Tortoiseshells) and Lybe (a Golden Retriever but a cat lover at heart)
P.S. Our Dad saw a quarter page article about you on page 6 of the Metro newspaper Tuesday 12th March.
Hello Frank,
I told my cats Bunny and Loulou all about you and they send all their best wishes. Bunny was all for sending you some cuddles but we couldnt fit them in the envelope.
Hope you're feeling much better soon and up to chasing some birds!!
Love Carol, Bunny and Loulou

Dear Frank,
My cat Cleo wants to know if you're single. She thinks you're a bit dishy, and was wondering if you have a female feline in your life. Thanks, and hope you feel much better soon.
Love, Cleo (your biggest fan) and Miranda :)
Frank says: Err no I'm single. But open to offers :-)
Hey Frank,
Just wanted to see if you heard your Cat song! Sarah Miles here at TotalRock played it for you! If you want another song, tune into the Breakfast Show tommorrow morning between 7am - 9am and we will play another song! And tell all our listeners how you are doing and how to see you! Bye for now, Luv Julz x
Frank says: Brilliant, thanks Julz
Hi, my name is 'Clancy the cat'. although some people call me 'Clancy Clue' and other people call me 'Mr. President' (because I have a permanent tuxedo and bow tie and a stars and stripe collar). If I was the first cat president I would definately pass a bill that prohibits the use of cars so us cats would be out of danger at all times.
Hi Frank
Just wanted to say that I'm enjoying watching your progress and hope that you're soon completly well.
Love
Charlie
Meows and kisses for a speedy recovery! Bonnie & Clyde send their purrs... X X Zoe.
Hi Frank,
Here are your friends Zorro and Diana, cats like you, from Santos, Brasil. We wish you be ok soon. Be strong. We love you, baby. Bye, bye Zorro and Diana
hello frank,we hope you are well. curse the ******* who attempted to kill you. They should be neutered. As our school computers are soooooo crap we can't actually look at you, we have seen you in the paper though and think you are lush. We'd pick you over pop idol any day.
Frank says: I hope you are a teacher swearing like that
Get well soon Frank!
After reading all about you in Metro I had to write in and send my best wishes. Take care and hope to see you up and about asap!!
Get well soon frank.
I love you and I love cats

My mummy saw you in the paper and told her friend. Both mummies told us so we thought we'd write to you and cheer you up! Although you look perfectly okay to me - all that sleeping! I ( Calico) don't go out much as I have a cat napping degree and need to practice in order to keep up with the youngsters out there. My friend Spooky who I haven't actually met, doesn't go out because he's just 'fat and lazy' (his Mum talking!) Anyway do get better soon, so nice to chat to others once in a while... lots of licks C&S xx
Chin up Frankie!! Get well soon! Amber and Murray send their love!!
Hi Frank,
Great to see you are looking good after your ordeal. We just wanted to wish you lots of luck in your recovery. We only just heard what happened!
Lots of love from the USA,
Tom (& Joanne - my owner) xxx
Hi there Frank,
I just wanted to tell you to be patient - and enjoy the peace whist you can as it sounds like you're going to be a busy boy when you're better! All those celebrity parties and launches that you'll have to attend.... My two cats, Wysiwyg & Wumpus, both had the same accident you had - it happened to Wysiwyg twice! And apart from a slight limp they both recovered to perfect health and mousing ability!! So look after yourself. Lizzy xxxx
Frank says: Patient/bored...still one day soon I'll be free
Frank, get well soon.. and you will. I hope the person that hit you is feeling terrible!! what goes around comes around eh Frank!!
Hello Frank,
I've been watching your site now for a while and I'm glad your feeling a bit better. I'm a grey moggie just like you, but very afraid of the cars. I'm hoping you make a speedy recovery to full health, so that you can get back home to all your mates.
Just take care in future, as these people with their cars don't realise how much we can get hurt.
Get well soon Frank!!
Love
Jackie
Hey Frank! I forgot to tell you...I found your website via the Earthlink newsletter I received yesterday (at home). You're world famous!
Frank
Espero que te mejores pronto para que salgas a jugar.
Mis mejores de deseos de recuperación
hope you get well soon Frank!!
We are glad to see you are getting on the mend - by the time you are well again it will be nearly summer, the flowers and the butterflies will be out, all the glorious sunshine and hopefully one very happy and contented Frank! Love Meg.
Frank says: You missed the word 'sleepy'
Rosie (my cat) says "hi" (in cat speak of course) & hopes you feel better soon
Frank says: Meow
Hello Frank, I read about you in the paper so I logged on to see how you are doing. Im glad you are recovering well and I hope that you make a full recovery. You are a cat in a million. Oh and my cat Squidge thinks your pretty nice looking too!!!
I hope that Frank is feeling better. I have a cat called Snuffy who sends his best wishes also my two mice Zippy and George. I am writing to let you know that there is a piece in the Metro ( free paper in London ) which is where I learnt about poor Frank. If you like I could send you the clip?
Hope that you catch the people who did this as they should realise that they have committed a hit and run regardless of who or what they hit!
Get better soon Frank
Love louise, Snuffy, Zippy and George!
Miu! :)

Dear Frank
Please get well very soon and resume all your normal catly duties without further accidents. My dear cat Peter had such an accident when he was only a year old and made a good recovery. Best wishes, Sue
I collect articles on animals of all sorts to send to my equally animal mad father in Eire. Today I found an article of Frank in London's free daily, Metro (top of page 5).
I was horrified to hear what had happened to Frank, but am thrilled to hear that he is making a powerful recovery.
A couple of weeks ago I rescued a 15 month old swan on Reading Bridge who also seemed to be the victim of a hit and run accident. She is now recovering very well at Swan Lifeline, Cuckoo Weir Island in Eton where I will soon be doing volunteer work to further my love of animals.
Best regards
Anna
Frank says: Glad to hear about the swan (bit big for me though)
Hello Frank,
I heard all about you in the newspaper this morning and was wondering if you'd like to become a friend of my cat Billy - once you're feeling better of course. You seem such a nice fellow, far nicer than the cat next door who I'm sure is teaching Billy all about smoking and women!
If interested, drop Billy or myself a line, and get well soon!
Frank says: Of course I will
Hi Frank!
Me and my work collegues have been intrigued by your story ever since we saw it in the "Metro" today. Were so glad your feeling better!!
Hope youve made a full recovery soon
Love Heather
Mentioned on the Johnny Walker show, Monday 11th March, Radio2
Frank says: excellent
Get well soon Frank and thanks for letting us into your cage :-)
Frank says: no problem, wipe your feet!
Hi Frank,
I wish you to recover soon and be able to walk as normally as possible. I have a kitty too, she's named Nala and I'd be sad if something ever happened to her.
Adan (from Switzerland)
Dear Frank
I was so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are back on your feet soon and terrorising your humans thoroughly as a good cat should! I have recently taken in another homeless kitty after two years without one and had nearly forgotten how much fun you furballs are! Get well soon, Love, Josie, David & Smirnoff
Frank hope you feel better soon. My cats Stripey and Bif send their regards. Miaow Lou
Hi Frank -
You are just wonderful! I hope you have a speedy recovery and a full life!
My kitties, Axel and Beeste, are wishing you well and want you to know that you are in their thoughts.
Katherine Perkins
Hi Frank....all our thoughts are with you....6 weeks isn't to long...just think you might be well enough to watch Newcastle United win the FA cup...that'll make you feel so much better!
Frank says: hahaha
The free daily newspaper that is on the Stagecaoch buses (Warwick area etc) carried an article about Frank this morning (12 March).
The newspaper is called Metro and if you can't get a copy, I will ask my husband to scan the piece to send to you.
Frank says: we've got it, thanks for the offer
i hope you recover soon, my cat smokey says will u marry her?? she is small with long, grey hair, approx 9inch tall, she weighs about 6/7lbs and has only three teeth left. She is 9 years old and is unable to have kittens, but she is willing to adopt. Hoping to meet Frank soon,

The Metro (free newspaper) is running a wee article here in Glasgow about your web-site. That is where I first heard about Frank. What a cutie!!!
Heard about Frank in the METRO (Manchester free paper) Tuesday, March 12 2202 under heading "Cat at Click of a Mouse". Caption on picture ( "Fur all the world to see: Frank in his recovery cage" ) Picture, incidentally, showed off his tail to some advantage. Something he should be mindful of when posing.
Immediately looked at his site - beautifully designed
site too.
We wish him a speedy recovery
Kind Regards,
Freda of Manchester University
Bunty Cat and Bea Kitten of Lower Lane Farm
Hi Frank. You were in the paper _again_ today - this time in the Glasgow Herald. I've scanned the cutting for you - have a look if you like -
http://edgeofchaos.d2g.com/frank
Get well soon chum.
Frank says: thanks
Dear Frank
Have read about you in "Metro" today (12/03/02) which is a London freebie paper. You are nearly as handsome as me and we share the same colouring and hobbies (although I am actually a girl cat despite my name). I'm glad you're getting better and hope you will soon be out of the cage - but do stay away from cars in future.
Love Barney xx
Frank
How about we go out on the town when you have fully recovered? My current boyfriend, Leo, is not a patch on you.
Cleo x
Frank says: Thats two today :-)
Frank
I hope you told the motorist to 'puss off'.

Dear Frank
As you are confined to your cage, and you may need a little entertainment, ask your human to buy you "Cat TV" video. We found it very interesting - lots of squeaky things whizzing about. We liked it almost as much as F1 Motoracing (also little things whizzing about) and wildlife birdy programmes (more squeaky little things). We wish you a very speedy recovery. Maroou.

Frank says: I'm not allowed a telly
frank: espero que te mejores pronto, yo soy de chile en sudamerica y tengo 2 gatos. la Kitty y Federico que tambien esperan tu pronta recuperacion.
Hello Frank!
It's nice to see that you're not letting fame go to your head and that you still very much enjoy doing the normal catty things - eat, wash, sleep, eat, wash, sleep....Anyway, after reading about your plight on the BBC website yesterday we've been keeping up-to-date with your progress whilst at work (and a very pleasant way of passing the time it is too I might add!). Hope you get better very soon.
Louise & Jo
P.S. Milk it whilst you can!!!
Wake up you dopey cat and lets have some action!Cats like you have the time of O`Reilly and seem to bask in it, without a word of a thank you. Cheers
Eileen
Frank says: Did you see that..?
I have 2 cats-Maisie & Purdie..i have told them what has happened to you and they are really upset. you get better and just remember..revenge is sweet.
Querido Frank,
desejo que você fique bom antes do prazo previsto. Que São Francisco esteja sempre com você e todos os animais.
Abraços,
Maria Tereza

Get well soon Frank!
Hope it doesn't hurt too much...
Try listening to Radio 2 - we have to when our mum's at home so we can recommend it...
Good Luck - we'll be back in touch soon
sniffs and purrs
Love
Otis, Marvin & Missey
Frank says: I'm listening to Radio 2
Oh poor David, you have created a monster, I think, and you have had to throw in the towel re answering us. Pity, that interactive bit was good fun, but we quite understand. You are probably calling in all kinds of alternative vets to try to get Frank better out of that cage.
We will pray for you,
Love
F.
Frank says: The only towel thats been thrown in is Franks, he threw it into his litter tray yesterday in a fit of boredom. Yesterday was a bit mad but we've reworked the site a bit today to make managing the messages a bit easier.
Frodo and I (Poppy) thought we would write to a fellow (?) cat because we felt very sorry to hear you had had an accident. We too like putting our fur over everything, sleeping and eating so I feel we would get on very well together if we met. Frodo also likes exploring a lot (he is a Burmese so what do you expect?), whereas I am quite shy and like to stay at home. Frodo also keeps an eye on all the other cats in the neighbourhood to make sure they keep out of our garden and out of our street! I let him get on with it as he's only a male (oops sorry). Anyway, get well very soon and we'll keep watching you on the little screen. Who knows, Hollywood next!
Frank says: I'd rather go to Bollwood, I love a curry
Hope to see you up and around soon. Your American cousin, Bandit (I rule the night).
I wish I had your job Frank - getting to sleep all day and be adored by thousands of women........it's a cats life I know!
Frank says: I know...:-)
Franky, I so glad to hear that you are on the mend.
My mum read me your article and i just had to email you with loads of cat love and wishes.
If I ever find out who left you there, I will be sure to go around with my friends in the ally and pee all up their front door.
Keep smiling
Jezebelle
Frankie! You DO like to sleep, don't you. Well, it's good for healing, so I guess I will have to just stop wishing I would see you give us a yawn or a stretch or something. But, maybe for when you are feeling a bit more attentive, I'm sending along some bird cam sites for you to check out. Here they are: http://www.nsis.org/bird/news/birdcams.html
Dear Frank,
Hello! I saw your picture and read an article about you in this morning's edition of the London Metro (courtesy of my mistress, Miss Teresa). I am so sorry about your mishap but quite frankly, Frank, you look sooo GORGEOUS for a sick cat! I hope that you will make a very good recovery.
Oh my name, by the way, is 'CHICHAY' (I'm a female Burman). It's really quite strange that we have the same hobby - 'eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping'. I am only 16 months old so am just learning the facts of 'catlife'. I've just perfected the art of jumping on the garage roof but, unfortunately, I haven't learned how to get down yet. This causes my mistress so much aggravation because she has to climb up the garage roof to fetch me. And when she's at work in London, come rain or shine I don't have any alternative but to stay on the garage roof until she's back from work. However, I'm in the process of planning a good strategy and I know I'll get there in the end - we all do, don't we?
I have a very good friend called 'Polly' - she lives next door. When it's sunny we love sunbathing together either in our garden or hers. I like playing with Polly very much - we like chasing each other. However lately she tends to just mop around. I think it's because she becoming geriatric. Nevertheless I still adore her company. She's like an older sister to me, and she is my bestest friend!
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that we live in the same county. My house is in Swavesey, Cambridge. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get together for a pint? (of milk that is - as you know I'm still a minor!)
Anyway, I really hope that you will have a speedy recovery. I'm just doing some unfinished business but will get back to you soon.
I would really like you to be my friend - if that's OK with you.
Lots of luv & kisses
'CHICHAY'
After seeing you yesterday i was so upset that i had to claw the chair, but Arnold (parrot) the tell tail told my owner. mind you the shreds on the floor would have given it away. love Kitt, Arnold and Dinky (cockatiel).
Get well soon Frankie!
Hi Frank,
Great name for a cat! I saw your website in the Metro paper and am now visiting. One of my family's cats died in a hit and run accident, Dillon (RIP). He was a friendly and comical black and white cat, but a bit moody if anyone laffed at him! I saw a hit and run accident a few years ago in Grindleford, I stopped and picked up the cat, called Masalie but she passed away surrounded by her family, awww. How can people just drive away after hurting someone's pet?? Hope you get better very soon, lots of love, Nat
Frank says: I don't know the word SCUM springs to mind, sorry about your cats
Dear Frank,
You are a real cutie! PLEASE stay INDOORS! We have 3 kitties that share our home and none of them venture outside. Calico, the oldest, is 19 and is still totally in charge of the home and the other cats. Even her Doctors forget how old she is. And, she's never been outdoors! Indoors equals long life in my book. Take care, does what the Vet says. Pamela Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
Hi Frank - sorry you're under the weather. Hope you haven't got CATaracts!
get well soon
xx
ps my cats Thelma and Louise think you're fab!
so does Laura's cat Cleo and Ann's cat Pussy Hat. And Noreen's cat Versace. They want to know if you have a boy/girl friend?
Frank says: Err, no and it would be a girlfriend (mind you I've been snipped)
I hope you get better, I know what its like being ill, i am not well, and also enjoy my sleep get better soon sylvester
get will soon frank
Dear Frank,
the other cats in the house (Cloucka Willow Bunter, ). Bingly the dog (this dog does like cats), and the birds asked me to drop a line and say how pleased the are that you are feeling better.
Esk (chief cat)
*Hugs* and *Cuddles* From the U.S.
I hope you get back on all fours really soon!
You're a very lucky kitty, you know.
Poor Frank! Me and Suzi (who is a v pretty tabby and white moggy and single by the way) were v moved to hear Frank's story and are v happy he's getting better Suzi's brother Tigger died a while back and its horrible when bad things happen to pussy cats. Suzi and me miss him a lot. Suzi sends Frank a big pur and kiss (I think she fancies him a bit, but its probably just a celebrity crush, after all thats what he is now i suppose!) Anyway, get well soon Frank! Purr, purr, miaow, purr We love you xxx
Hi Frank,
I'm Poppy, a moggy like you. Somebody shot me with an airgun in October last year and it did a lot of damage to my insides. I've only got one kidney now, but Uncle Ivan, my vet, has done such a great job I'm going to be fine. My daddy plays guitar and sometimes he holds pictures of guitars up for me to see and tells me that for what it cost to make me better, he could have had two of something called a Gibson Les Paul or one made by a man called Paul Reed Smith. Daddy doesn't begrudge one penny spent making me better, but he says if he ever finds out who shot me they'd better hope that the man who treats them is as good at extracting things as my uncle Ivan.
I hope you fully recover very soon frank, I cannot begin to feel what you have been through and your family, just hang on in there and you'll be back to normal very soon..... lots of love Rachel (owner) and Boobie The Tortishell cat xxx Purr
I think Frank should ask Jane Jones at Classic FM for a request - but not The Cat's Chorus!
Frank says: err no, not the cats chorus
Hi Frankie
you seem to be sleeping off the pain of your injuries very well - there's nothing like a good catnap is there?
I tried sending a request to Steve for you, but unfortunately my computer wouldn't connect me, so have a big 'get well' kiss instead
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
take care for now
kimbo
Frank says: that'll do
Hi there Franky!
How are you feeling? Better I hope!!
I just thought I'd tell you I've been watching you alot lately and I think you should try and eat some more food. Build up some strength and you'll be out of that cage in no time. I more thing, you sleep about as much as I do. It's a great hobbie to have. Love and strokes from Kat xxxx
Frank,
We are worried about you....
You have not moved for at least 4 hours!
H xxx
Frank says: No thats sleep
BLESS!!!!!!!!
All I can say is I hope you get well soon and dont feel to down about your accident. Keep your wiskers up and remember, your a STAR now. Love and stuff.
Peter.
P.S I'll write a song for you!
Hi Frank,
Hope you are feeling better...
I am pleased to be able to tell you that you have made page 6 of the Metro Newspaper where i learned of your terrible accident.
Get well soon.

Dear Baby Frank,

Get Well little man.
Dear Frank,
I hope that you get better soon, as I am bored of watching you sleep in your cage. Do you think you will ever be able to do a backflip for me? Much love, Pete.
Frank says: Of course...ready
Hi Frank, It brightens up my day when I see you. glad to see you're getting better.
News of you has reached Portugal
www.diariodigital.pt/news.asp?id_news=34324
You really are an international star!
GET WELL SOON YOU HUNKY BEAST. Sorry but that message was from my two year old tortoiseshell Kes. She has been watching your progress with great interest. I also hope you get well soon and live a long happy life.
My two cats..Ebony and Ivory..and I wish you a very speedy recovery. My kitties are indoor cats and do not run outside unless on a leash as we live by busy streets and some meanies are more than happy to run over poor kitties. Just know we care about you all the way from Michigan in the USA.
I am so sorry to hear about your accident. The person who hit you will find out that what goes around comes around. I am happy to hear that you are on the mend. Be good and listen to your master....they know what's best for you!
I'm sure millions (!) have notified you already but Frank featured on page 6 of Metro newspaper today.
Best wishes to the furry one for a purrfect recovery :-)
Frank says: not quite millions, but thanks to each and every one
Hi, Frank --
You were asleep when I looked in. That's the best thing to do right now. It will be a great day when you are healed and up and about as a cat should be. Best wishes, Greer and the Connecticats, Muffin, Sasha, Frazier, Minuit and Orion
Meeeoww meeow meeu mew, meeoouw meuew meoooowwww !!!!!!!!

Frank says: Aha IMP nice
Wishing you a speedy recovery Frank.
I'll be watching your progress from North Vancouver,Canada
Dear Frank,
We would like to wish you a quick and peaceful recovery. We are American cats from down South and don't know the word "moggy." Does it refer to a breed of cat? We might be moggy cats and not know it! Rest well, Zetta and Callie in North Carolina
Frank says: Moggy means cat of non specific origin (like a mutt) non pedigree

Frank,
A few years ago a hit-and-run left a little cat with a badly broken leg outside my house. We took him in and sent for the vet. After having a pin put in his leg he recovered and is still with us today. Since then, we have taken in a few other cats including Gebo who only has one eye after being mistreated, Sepi, who was given away, Thomasina, a rescue kitten, Oliver - a stray, Smudge (hit and run) and Smokey whose owners were going to put her down because they were having a baby. Sadly, Oliver died last week after a tumour but you look very well and I hope that you recover fully and find a lovely home!
Poor Frank,
We are so sorry to hear of your accident. We hope you get well soon.

Your website was submitted to Earthlink's Weekly Newsletter as "Wierd Web" link on 3/11/02. I had to check it out because I am a cat lover.
Dear Frank, You appear to be a fine feline and I hope you are back on the prowl soon. My own cat, Pepper, was hit by a car and not expected to live. That was over five years ago. He is out hunting moles today. He also, since his accident, has taken to chasing dogs. Feline love. Meg
Dear Frank
Hope you get well soon. We are all thinking about you and wish you a speedy recovery.
I hurt my leg last year and was unable to move about too, it can be very boring but with the help of my brilliant Mum Anne and Vet Lydon I was soon up and about.

You look just my type so hurry up and get well soon!
Wake up you lazy cat!
Frank says: don't call me lazy
Hey Franky
I've got a little cutie back home by the name of Saffi. I think you two would get along just fine. You should look her uo when you get out of sick bay.
Try listening to WXRV (The River) at 92.5fm. They have a weblink and it's really good! It's out of Boston (or just north of Boston).
Get well soon!

We saw you in the paper, and thought we'd wish you a speedy recovery.
>From Coco: I'm the oldest cat in my household and before my big people
>found me at the RSPCA, I had been run over too. I don't have my left-paw felines [can't call them cainines!] any more but it doesn't stop me eating lots and lots. I live with 2 boys Iggy and Tommy, Tommy also came from the RSPCA but Iggy was rejected by his Mum and moved in 'cos we liked him. Peewee just comes to play as he's lonely on his own all day.
We all hope you get better soon
Loads of licks and purrs

What a clever site. I read about it in the London Metro.
Get well Frank.

Hi there Frank
Read all about you today in Metro, a newspaper given away at the Tube station. Lovely pic of you looking really cute. Have been watching you sleep this afternoon. Better get on with some work now!
Hi Frank! Keep getting better! Don't be afraid of the dogs. Hope you find your brother.
Frank says: What brother ?
Saw an article in Metro about Frank - but you know that because there was a photo. Brightened up my tedious day.
Cheers
Lynn.
Hiya Frank, I read about you in the paper this morning and Im glad your making a great recovery. Don't sleep too much and I hope that you make a complete recovery. Oh by the way my cat Squidqe thinks you look quite nice too.

Hi Frank,
You are the cutest! If I still lived in the UK I would come and visit you. But I moved back to the US three years ago where I live with my own three kitties, Ray, Sarah and Lucy. I hope this finds you feeling better - and if you ever want to visit the US, let me know!
Love,

I thought Frank would like to know about the brave
Mr. Touti. Perhaps this story will inspire him to be a better cat.
News Item: Mr. Tuoti: Renegade cat. Put to death via lethal injection.
Mr. Tiny Tuoti, the crazed feline whose frenzied attack on his eighty-year-old owners became a cause celebre for death penalty advocates in Canada was executed at 12:01 this morning. His execution, via injection, took place under heavy guard in the maximum-security vet house. At the time of his death, Mr. Tuoti was 5 years old.
Tiny, as his friends called him was taken from his parents when he was six weeks old. He was abused as a child, initially, by his first owners who beat him for slightest feline malfeasance’s ….clawing the sofa was one of his favorite pastimes. The police blotter indicated that Mr. Tuoti had requested a scratching post on more than one occasion. After these cat-astrophes, he was placed in a second adoptive home; this time with an elderly couple who could not provide him with the kind of home a young, active growing cat needs. Tiny began to act out, doing as he pleased around the house and using catnip excessively. His litter box discipline also become spotty; these cries for help were all but ignored by his aged but well meaning masters.
All the early warning signs were there. Tiny was observed many times torturing and eating small animals. It was only a small leap (pardon the pun) to the infamous and bloody shower attack. Although many people have said that the water sprayed on the feline was merely the trigger in a long line of abuses, Mr. Tuoti remained mum on the subject.
After being transferred to the death house Mr. Tuoti could be observed chasing his catnip toys and sleeping peacefully under his favorite picture; "The Lion" by Rousseau. Curled up on his concrete bunk bed as if he didn't have a care in the world, he bravely refused all ministrations from the Rev. Sloan Coffin, the radical priest, who offered the animal absolution from his sins. Tiny maintained, in his voluminous correspondence with Norman Mailer prior to his death that an animal was incapable of sin. Excerpts of these letters and drawings will be published at a future date in the New Yorker.
At the assigned time, Mr. Tuoti was moved to the death chamber. There, a group of hushed witnesses waited to see if a flicker of remorse would cross his furry, be-whiskered face. As the curtains were drawn, the assembled could see Mr. Tuoti spread-eagled on the cold steel examining table. After reading a statement approved by the condemned; a poem by William Blake called Tygre,Tygre the vet gave the signal and the lethal mixture began to flow into the beast. Mr. Tuoti's flanks shook, he seemed to growl and then expired. Time of death was listed at 12:11AM.
Mr. Tuoti leaves no known next of kin. His remains will be cremated and scattered at an undisclosed location.

Frank had a item in today's Metro (the free newspaper), telling everybody about the popularity of his website. Do you want a copy if you don't already have it?
I hope he is up on his paws very soon feeling much better. Luckily I have never been in your position (having two cats of my own), but can imagine it is a very fraught and trying experience. Let's hope the b*stard who did this to him sees the coverage and has more than a few sleepless nights over the guilt. I will never understand people like that.

Hi Franky, Im pebbles a tabby over in binfield berkshire. Im sorry you are confined to a cage whilst your pelvis heals. I hope you dont get to board. I know how it feels to be stuck in doors as the humans have just moved home, I wanted to go back to the old house so they keep me inside. Trouble is i cant remeber where the old house is now, so i decided to stay anyway. I have a friend who lives with me, Smudge. Shes alot older and never goes out. she cant see what all the fuss is as she sees no need to move more than a few feet. She actually likes the idea of not going out when you need to do ..you know...natures stuff. Shes quite jellous of your litter tray, she hates it when its raining. Next time i get a mouse or vole ill ask the humans if i can post it to you. Ive never actually eaten one (i only like the chase), but ive got it on good authority its nearly as nice as wiskers! Hope you feel better . Love pebbles
Frank says: It's the chase that I get stuck on
Dear Frank
I was in hospital a few years ago when I was just a youngster and it was horrid. When I came back my friend Daisy kept sniffing me and walking off in disgust and she wouldn't let me in the bed for days. My humans look after me very well now and your human sounds lovely too. Daisy and I send you lots of kitty hugs and kisses and wish you a very speedy recovery. Lots of love Sally. PS you're a very handsome cat, so if you ever fancy a date with a slightly off-white, slightly over-weight yet adorable green-eyed temptress, give me a miaow! ;-)
Frank says: miaow
My name is BB. I look a little bit like you Frank. I live near a road so I know how scary those metal animals are! I hope you feel better soon. I wasn't very well recently and my mum kept me indoors, which I didn't like'cos there are lots of lovely things to chase and pounce on outside. I listened to Radio 2 when I was poorly and it helped a lot.
Get well soon - purrrr, miaww miaww
BB
I have asked Heart 106.2 to play you a record this afternoon. Hope you feel better soon.
HEEY! HEEY! This is your mate from Hove (Brighton Boy, no tail , no teeth). I hope you are not forgetting me with all this fan mail. I sent you a couple of photos of myself before and after my operation (with tail and no tail) but I think it got lost . I tried later. Good old Frank! you are getting more and more popular, if you get tired of the fame and get a bit fazed by the invasion of privacy, remember Hove is the place to be! (The local feline posse is ready to welcome you here). Your mate forever.
Brighton Boy.
PS: my human has gone down to London to visit her feline prima donna there (I am not deceived by her little game!) I'll talk to you again (You know, about those escape plans.... (Discretion, discretion, they are all listening!)
Frank says: OiOi Brighton boy, sorry I have not had time to sort your picture out, we have a huge backlog and are getting the text messages up first. The pictures will go up when we get a moment. Just call me Hilts!
Frank,
Sorry to hear about the mishap, but glad to hear you're on the road to recovery.
My cat, Nina, enjoys opera, in particular Madama Butterfly and Turandot; my other cat, Wolfgang, prefers Gershwin, especially his Lullabye. They're also fans of Peter and the Wolf, which I is my Saturday morning housecleaning music.
For those keeping score, Wolfgang is 14, while Nina is 13.
Frank, so sorry and sad to hear how nasty humans can be by leaving you for dead. Our Mom and Dad are great human pets , although dad did have to take me (Trophy) to the Vets as he cut the end of my tail off in the door - he was very upset and didn't mean to do it and I made him give me lots of fuss. Hope you get lots and lots of fuss and we suggest you listen to Sarah Kennedy on Radio 2 - she's a 'cat woman'. Get well soon Catas and Trophy (yes, when we get together we are a catastrophe)
Chin up Frankie...!!
You're looking good!!
Love and kisses
Jacky

Hi Frank, you really are becoming the most famous cat in the world! I saw an article in today's "Metro" with a nice picture of you. You look better every day. May I make a suggestion to your owners? Would it be possible please to move the webcam to the side of your cage as it's difficult to see much of you when it's at the top, just looking at your back or part of your back. Not to worry if not. Just glad to see you're well on the road to recovery. Love, Yvonne & Toni
Hi Frank
Glad to see that you are feline better >^._.^<
Best wishes
George and Charlie
PS - our owners are cat lovers and are glad that you are on the mend!
Hi Frank,
I found you in London's free newspaper the Metro today (12/03/02), and thought you were really cute. I have a little cat named Crispy and she's black and white. I bet if you saw her, you'll take a shine to her. She's a little cuddle monster!
Hope you get well soon - and good job you have a nice caring owner.
Lots of love
Lis & Crispy
Frank,
When is your feeding time?

Frank says: hmm, about 7:20am and about 6:00pm
Hey Frank, sorry to hear about your accident - hope you feel better very very soon. Me and my human think you're really cute and very brave. Purrrrrrrrs to you xxxxx
Hi Frank,
My name's Scrap and I'm a Persian. I too had to go to the dreaded vets when my previous owners abandoned me and left me to starve. Thankfully a loving family found me and I now stay with their son, destroying his phone, furniture and computer as all cats should do. I will be keeping all my paws crossed for the day when you come out of the cage. Lots of love Scrap
Hope you are feeling better. Do you have a girlfriend. I am a beautiful butterscotch caticus. And at the moment free and available. Molly B.
Frank says: Blimey thats about 5 today, I think I need a cold shower
Hope you get better frank , as i suffered with
diabetes got some idea what you are going
through keep your chin up
get well soon cool for cats
love megan
I wish Frank to be helthy!
Hello Frank, I got run over too and was in hospital for a little while, but I am much better now. I lost and eye and my tail, but I have adjusted very well and I am sure you will too.
Get well soon

Chin up, Frankie-Boy! I can't watch you recover as I lost an eye last August (and the one I have left has something called a 'Cat-a-racked' in it and doesn't work) so I am completely blind. My feeder/litter changer tells me how you are getting along each day. You have my sympathy. I've never been allowed out on the street so have never encountered cars. I gather that you have been spared the humiliation of a 'lampshade' around you neck to stop you touching any wounds? I had to wear one after my eye removal. I hated it. You'll soon be 100%, mate...wishing you a speedy recovery....Baldrick ( oh yeah, and Klif too, I suppose), London.
Frank says: ouch, ouch, ouch
Dear Frank,
You're looking very well. Best wishes for your continued recovery. The arrival of spring makes us all want to jump about, but try to restrain yourself a little longer. (Your story appeared in the weekly e-newsletter from my internet service provider here in the US.) Best regards, Barbara
Hi Frank,
We had a sister, Freebie who had an argument with a car and ended up with a fixator in her hind leg. She made a full recovery and lived for about another 18 months before she had an argument with a dog. She's now in the great Cattery in the Sky. Hope you get better soon.
Lots of love from Felix and Bean.
get well soon
love
pishi
Howdy Frank,
I read about your accident in the London Metro newspaper this morning - that picture of you is fantastic. You're not single are you by any chance? I'm jet black, short hair, green eyes, 10 months old and gorgeous. Drop me a line sometime and we can go drink some milk and eat some fine mice together.
Get well soon !
