Hi,
We had Frankie from you in the middle of September, sorry this has taken
so long! A few days after bringing Frankie home we acquired a 7 month
old male kitten from our daughter, she was having problems as our young
granddaughter was treating it like a toy and it was clearly
unhappy. Frankie and Parsley were wary for a couple of days but have
since become good friends. Although Frankie can get a bit fed up with
Parsley's boisterous behaviour he will give as good as he gets, a mad
chase through the house is the usual conclusion. When we first let
Frankie out he didn't return for almost 24 hours and we were very
worried as to his whereabouts, he then just returned and came through
the door like nothing had happened! This happened every time with the
length of time gradually diminishing; after about a week this behaviour
ceased and now he goes out when he needs to but always returns
immediately, usually to snuggle up on a cushion. He is now a very
affectionate cat who loves to be stroked, if you stop he will push your
hand with his nose to remind you to carry on. He is very much a lap cat
when he gets the chance and both cats prefer my husbands lap, they will
contort their bodies into all sorts of shapes in order to be able to
squeeze into the available space. As he looks so much like our old cat
we do tend to call him Macy most of the time and this is what he
responds to, although we haven't officially changed his name on any
records as yet.
Many thanks,
Debbie & Andy Johnson, Ilfracombe.
