David and Frankie Seaman & Willow

July 24, 2026 · 47 min

Show notes

Matt Baker brings the Petcast caravan to Berkshire to meet David and Frankie Seaman, their four cats, and their foster setup with Cats Protection. They introduce Smokey, their 17-year-old diabetic cat who needs insulin injections twice daily, plus Willow and feral rescues Coco and Candy, and Frankie explains the crucial kitten socialisation window, her dedicated nursery for pregnant cats and neonates, and the intense 24/7 reality of hand-rearing and toileting newborn kittens. They meet foster mum Bellatrix and her four three-week-old kittens, and Frankie shares why she leaves rehoming to the charity.


David reflects on pets throughout his football career, from a childhood Alsatian to springer spaniels and rescue dogs, while both discuss their love of wildlife at their riverside home, raising ducklings, and tips on cat hydration from a pet nutritionist.
