Saturday was Frank's 1st birthday. Last Thanksgiving, Natasha and I drove out to a Wendy's parking lot in Morton Grove (or thereabouts) and picked him up from my friend Jolynne. (The picture above is from the ride home, snapped with my cameraphone while he was in Natasha's lap.) I had seen his little picture a couple of weeks prior, when he was just a little stumbling hairball and knew he had to be mine.
Remember his first (and so far last) video?
I lucked out. He's a pretty great cat. He's affectionate and sweet. He's good with people and dogs (though chipmunks he chases and catches, but doesn't eat). He seems fairly devoted to me and I'm crazy about him.

Happy birthday dude! Visit the Frank the Cat set at Flickr.
Happy Birthday, Frank!!!
I forgot what a little morsel he was! He's such a handsome cat now, but back then, he was a mere puff of sweetness.
Are you going to get him a cake that looks like a chipmunk?!

Frank Frank! Oh happy birthday! He was a Friday the 13th baby, this I remember. God - he was so little that I remember we briefly contemplated putting him in a hampster ball so that he could easily be found. I was so afraid I would step on him. And then I did! I punted him across the room. All I could hear was the sound of tiny claws trying to find traction. So then I screamed, and this freaked him out and he jumped. He may or may not have pissed himself.
Oh how handsome he is now. I am VERY excited for my visit to Ohio. I will bring treats for both of you :)

Aww, happy birthday to Frank! Aren't kitties the greatest? Even my boyfriend can't argue when I claim mine is my best friend in the world.
