On this despicably dreary day, Gothamist is happy to discuss matters involving cats with badges. Yes, we're talking about Fred the cat, aka Detective Fred who helped the Brooklyn DA's office crack down on a phony vet. By helped, we mean looked totally cute! Fred's owner, ADA Carol Moran says that Fred is working on his getting his papers to be a "therapy animal". He'll go to schools to "show cats are nice, trusting, kind animals, and that we as people have an obligation to be responsible and caring." And there is even talk of him doing commercials!

I think it's great that he's going to be a therapy animal! I remember reading all about the therapy dogs after 9/11 and how they were helping survivors and families. One article in particular that appeared in the NY Times about the animals that were based out of Pier 59 absolutely broke my heart. These animals are beyond amazing.
What a great story! I love the fact that Fred is also going to go into the schools to help kids learn about how to treat animals.
Sincere condolences on the passing of Fred. Thanks for giving him a great remainder of his life.
