Free Virtual Zoom Presentation
Once upon a time, the New York City Post Office employed a feline police squad to protect the mail from rats and mice…
The country’s oldest Brooklyn Navy Yard cat survived a massive explosion on board the USS Maine…
New York City’s first theatrical club hosted a black-tie dinner in honor of its famous feline mascot…
The TWA pilots at the brand-new LaGuardia Airport had a flying feline mascot who won numerous trophies at cat shows…
And a blind cat who wore glasses saved Brooklyn Borough Hall from burning down when he was 27 years old.
Join me this Tuesday, July 21, at 2 p.m., for a virtual trip back in time to explore New York City’s history via amazing stories about fire cats, police cats, theatrical cats, and other fabulous felines that made the news headlines in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I’ll be sharing about a dozen of my favorite cat-men tales from my book and blog in a 55-minute virtual presentation on ZOOM via the Hicksville Public Library.
If you have read The Cat Men of Gotham, this afternoon event will give you a chance to see some old news photos of the cats that I couldn’t publish in the book as well as maps, actual news headlines, and pictures of some cat-men heroes.

Is this going to be recorded? I’m afraid it is the middle of a busy work day for me but I would love to see it!
Pam, I’d have to check with the Hicskville Library, since they are the host. If they don’t record events, I’m sure I’ll have more events coming up over the next few months that you will be able to attend. I will let you know when I find out. Thank you.
