FREE Zoom Presentation: Wednesday, June 9, 2021, 7-8 pm (ET)

Tails and Tales
Cat Men of Gotham Presentation

A free library presentation through the nationwide Tails and Tales Collaborative Summer Library Program.

Once upon a time, the New York City Post Office employed a feline police squad to protect the mail from rats and mice…

America’s first theatrical club hosted a black-tie dinner in honor of New York City’s toughest cat…

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 on Wednesday, June 9, at 7 p.m., for a virtual trip back in time to explore New York City’s history via amazing stories about theatrical cats, flying feline mascots, famous hotel 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, The Cat Men of Gotham, and my Hatching Cat website in a 55-minute virtual presentation on ZOOM. The program will be hosted by the Scotch Plains Library as part of their Tails and Tales summer reading program for adults.

This is a fun, casual program, so feel free to wear your cat pajamas, have a glass of wine, and just relax for an hour while I tell you about some amazing cats and their heroes.
