Fred

From today's news, (not "Kev's" head) sad, yet interesting...

NEW YORK (Aug. 11) -

Fred, the Undercover Kitten who gained fame earlier this year by posing as a would-be patient to help police nab a phony veterinarian, has died, authorities said Friday.

The 15-month-old tabby was killed Wednesday when he wandered into traffic and was run over by a car, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office.

Fred was a rescued stray when he was enlisted by law enforcement in February. An undercover investigator posing as Fred's owner summoned the suspect to an apartment rigged with a hidden camera and pretended the kitten needed to be neutered. The man was arrested as he left carrying Fred in a box and cash for the operation.

Fred got his due at a news conference, where he sported a tiny badge on his collar. "He's pretty easygoing, a real Brooklyn guy," his caretaker, prosecutor Carol Moran, said at the time.

Fred ran out Moran's back door into her yard on Wednesday while Moran was attending to two dogs. "He had to have hopped several fences to escape the to the street," Moran said. Neighbors found his body in the road later that morning.

"Kev's" Post Script:
The picture of Fred, with his handler, was removed and replaced with the above photo of Prince Harry, who is also a really "cool" cat, and, well, a LOT sexier than the cat or the cat handler, who was just too unattractive to appear here on "Kev's Corner." "Kev" has also always preferred Harry over William. Harry is a lot sexier and is probably a lot more fun...
