Eulogizing a Cat

I was looking at my Flickr account when I came across Frank.  He was my cat for 13 years.  Frank was named after ‘old blue eyes’ himself, Frank Sinatra.   He was a crazy kitten that turned into a beautiful and funny cat.  I had to put him down a few years ago because of health problems.  When I did, Mr. Incredible was really bummed. Frank was our first cat together.  We brought him home just a few weeks after we were married.  Saying goodbye to him was like closing a chapter in our lives. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course we have four children now but Frank was such a part of our lives living on a military base.  We coined the phrase “cat baker” for an extremely hot Savannah day.  We accidently left Frank on the balcony for a few hours during an awful hot/humid day.  He survived and all, don’t worry.  But he was hysterical by the time we came home.  Frank was endlessly entertaining with a flashlight, running in circles and cat barking.  If there was a piece of paper or box in sight- no matter how small- Frank would cram himself  into it(and he was a cat of great stature).  Every now and then I find pictures of my beautiful kitty.  I took so many of  him, too.  Just thought I’d share.
