RIP Frankie the Bear

Frankie past away in the summer of 2014
He was diagnosed with a tumours in his stomach.
Although we don't believe thats what took our poor Frankie.
He went missing, we searched for days. One morning our neighbour across the road came over and said they found a dead cat in their garage. Mr. B. Went over to investigate and sure enough it was our Frankie... He must have been their for days.
We strive to keep the kitties indoors, but sometimes it's impossible for the run out fast...
But, the last day I saw poor Bear was the morning he disappeared...By this time Frankie was peeing and throwing up in the house due to his illness. But he was still eating and walking about....I sent him outdoors in the summer sun, in our fenced back yard so I could clean up the mess. ( an action I regret doing, for he must of slipped under the gate and crossed the road to the neighbours house.)
3 days later our neighbour came over, with the sad news....but it looked like he may have been struck by a car. It was hard to tell, after being in the neighbours garage so long and in the summer heat.
Rest in peace Frankie, your gentle way is very much missed....your daddy crys for you often. You were loved.
