00:00 He's a wallflower, a little clumsy, tries to climb on curtains.
00:03 I am Evan and this is Frankie's story for GeoPeeks.
00:08 I met Frankie at Famous Fido's shelter.
00:16 I found him in the same cage with Ernie.
00:19 They were found separately on the streets of Chicago and they just immediately became
00:23 attached to each other.
00:24 Frankie, come here.
00:25 I usually, I do this little whistle and they usually come.
00:30 What are you doing buddy?
00:34 Frankie is a little bit quieter but just goofy.
00:37 You hear about orange cat things and that's typical Frankie.
00:40 Clumsy, always tries to jump on things, ends up falling.
00:45 Frank?
00:46 What are you doing buddy?
00:51 He tests everything out.
00:52 Will this fall on the ground?
00:53 Yeah.
00:54 How about that?
00:55 Yep.
00:56 He's knocked over water cups, food, in the middle of the night.
01:01 Frank, he'll just be sitting there minding his own business, staring off, but then you
01:06 notice his ears turn on airplane mode and he'll just sprint onto the wheel, sprint on
01:10 it for about 10 seconds and then walk off like nothing happened and then just go back
01:14 to lounging.
01:15 It's so funny.
01:16 What are you doing like that?
01:19 You leave Frankie alone until he chooses it's time to show you love.
01:22 What's going on?
01:25 I respect him, how he needs space because I'm the same, a little bit introverted.
01:29 We let Frankie decide when he was ready to kind of bond with us.
01:34 I hear them getting into something.
01:36 And when he shows you love, you feel like the most special person in the world.
01:40 We have a little routine at night when I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth, he jumps
01:44 up on the counter and then I brush my hair and he wants his hair done.
01:47 So he puts his little paws up here and I brush his back and he loves that.
01:50 Then we go to bed and as soon as I lay down, he climbs up on the bed and gets on my chest.
01:55 I let him sit there and he purrs really loud.
01:58 Frank!
01:59 Are you okay?
02:01 They have just made my life significantly better and I am just, just the amount of laughs
02:07 that are, okay, there we go.
02:09 Frankie is like the big brother, so he is constantly grooming Bernie.
02:13 Bernie always has food and things all over him, like spider webs, whatever.
02:17 After getting into something, he comes back and big brother Frank grooms him.
02:21 It's always Frankie that plops down and lets Bernie attack him.
02:24 But you can tell if the fight gets a little bit serious, Frank will stand up and Bernie
02:28 will try to knock him down and he won't let it happen.
02:30 He makes sure he puts Bernie in his place.
02:32 Frankie, I personally think he's wise behind his ears.
02:36 Okay.
