Francie appears even more eager to hug in this video, spreading his paws out with what appears to be very little prompting. Once held high, a smile can almost be made out on Franzie's black and white face. With his mission complete, he then holds his owner tight. For Franzie, it's just everyday life. For cat lovers unaccustomed to being hugged with abandon by a feline, it's an unbelievable treat.
