America, A History in Cats: Historian and author Dr. Paul Koudounaris will talk about history of America's felines, and their oft neglected contributions. Presented with a slideshow of historical images, the talk will take the audience on an historical journey to reclaim the heroic and prodigious achievements of some of history’s greatest cats. Learn about cats in wartime and their role in the Wild West. Hear the extraordinary stories of cats like Clementine Jones, who traveled 3200 miles to find her family in a home and city she had never before been in. Or Pooli, a World War II US Navy cat who is the most decorated military animal in American history. Or Kiddo the flying cat, the world’s first celebrity feline. Or the amazing Colonel, the greatest (and highest ranking!) cat in US Army history. All this and more!
