Who is more American? Abraham Lincoln or John Wilkes Booth? John F. Kennedy or Lee Harvey Oswald? The Stephen Sondheim/John Weidman musical Assassins looks at those questions by prying into the souls and psyches of the people who have killed—or tried to kill—Commanders-in-Chief.

Matilda is a friendly, feisty furry ninja who loves to play and who is brimming with energy and personality who is 1 year old! She was found at the intersection of a busy road and the freeway and was scooped up by a Good Samaritan! She greets you with cute little meows and she loves to cuddle once she’d finished playing. She’s been fostered with other cats and she like to be the center of attention. Matilda is available from the Cat House on the Kings.
