This is ridiculous. The cat did not have any undercover work. It was not posing or pretending anything and did not investigate anything. It had no awareness of the sting. It did not have a job as a police officer. Is Wikipedia really a place to post cutesy cat stories phrased as if the cats were people?
This article is just further proof of why cats should be kept indoors. Dionyseus 20:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
As I perused this webpage today I felt the need to make a few friendly comments/discussion points. It seems to me that those few people that feel the need to edit this page are forgetting the most important aspect of "Fred the undercover kitty". Fred was a cat!! Please remember that domestic shorthair is a fancy name for 'alley cat' or 'mutt'. Let us also not forget that Fred was lucky enough to have found a great owner that loved him dearly, but Fred did not apprehend the fugitives, it was the humans surrounding Fred that carried out the arrests. It seems a little far-fetched to anthropomorphosize (sp?) this cat. Otherwise, this seems like a very sweet memorial to a cat by a loving owner, nothing more. It should be left as just that. Just my opinions, feel free to have your own opinion. It is as we say a free world. I also believe that cats should be kept indoors, unless you are lucky enough to live in the seclusion of the country. CatLoverInNebraska 16:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
I made some minor changes for clarity. the article contained the bizarre phrase "posing as a fake Veternarian" twice. WHAT??? Posing as a fake anything is not a crime. Posing as a REAL vet is a crime. I edited the article accordingly. Lisapollison 02:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Image:FredUndercoverKitty.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
The external link to the press release regarding Fred's death no longer works. I couldn't find any archived press releases on the Brooklyn DA's website, only those for the current year. Ritterjcat ( talk) 22:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
