Hola kitties! In the USA, we're celebrating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., perhaps the most eloquent of the Civil Rights' leaders of the 1960s. This little ghetto kitty don't call herself that for nothing. I come from the slums on CommuniPAW Avenue, commonly known as The Paw. I may have gray fur but my heart beats black.
"I have a dream that anipals will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their furs or by their breed but by the content of their character.”

On the day we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, we also honor another great man of peace. Last week, NYC lost such a man; one who lived up to the legacy of Dr. King. In the age of Black Lives Matter, it may seem strange that a ghetto kitteh such as myself has chosen to honor a white man who also happened to be a cop. That man is NYPD Detective Steven McDonald.
Detective McDonald died of a heart attack last week. Tens of thousands of officers lined the streets of Manhattan stretching more than 10 blocks turning the streets into a sea of blue. Rumor has it, usually loud and bustling midtown was silent as the long funeral procession came up Fifth Avenue toward St. Patrick's Cathedral for this hero.
