I got Frankie the Christmas of 2004 as a kitten with her sister Bow wow. Along the way Bow wow moved onto another address down the street. We had Frankie our tabby and white female for ten very special months. During this time we moved twice in the same area in Wellington New Zealand as I was in the throws of divorce. At the second address a house I purchased for my daughter and I to live in I was careful with Frankie as she was disorientated through the moves but three weeks into being in our house I became ill with a chest infection and as I lay in bed one late evening at 10pm Frankie our wee girl, was making alot of noise about wanting to go outside so my daughter a teenager thought it would be ok to put her outside and did. Frankie never came back in and it wasn't until the next afternoon that when I was continuing to search for her that someone had said that had found a cat dead laying in someone's driveway down the road. I went down the road and there she was someone had placed a towel over her, she lay frozen. So I had to pick her body up and we took her home and placed her in a box with one of her toys and with a couple of friends buried her under a tree. My daughter said no more cats mum and for three weeks this was true. But I couldn't stand it after all the tears I went to animates and bought Jasper a harlequin kitten. The driver of the car that killed Frankie as I later found out by someone who saw the accident said that it was a boy racer using her for target practise.
