Sting Operation

In this New York Times picture you see Carol Moran, Fred and Burt. They recently helped to bring down a fake veterinarian. Here's a link to The New York Time's article. However, I think I remember you are required to register to view stories. With the magic of "cookies," I can't remember.

Brief summary: Burt's human had a "vet." But then after an incident and a hefty bill, that human grew suspicious. He called Brooklyn's district attorney. That's when Carol, an assistant district attorney, and Fred, a handsome, tiger cat, came into the picture. Evidently Ms. Moran had adopted him some time in the past.

In his article, Michael Brick notes Fred hadn't expressed a desire for heroism. Mr. Brick describes Fred as "the strong, silent type ... an alley cat from the streets of Brooklyn, long and lean with thick black stripes." Because he still had his "parts," Fred agreed to go undercover to help his mama take down this villian.

The bad guy was caught, the good cat (Fred) is still intact and is the hero, his human likely is awesome, and the rest is history. But The Times did indicate an "alteration" still is in Fred's future. With a real vet.
