catwomanSad news today, Eartha Kitt passed away, of all days on Christmas Day!  Our prayers are with her family.  I loved Eartha, her voice and her own translation of the songs that made her great! One thing that I can honestly say is that NOONE has ever replaced her “purrrr” as Catwoman…an awesome woman and she will be missed by all!

Eartha Kitt was born out-of-wedlock in the cotton fields of North, South Carolina, a pregnancy resulting from the rape by a white plantation eartha-red-dressowner and a sharecropper mother of African-American and Cherokee Native American descent. Her mother gave her up, arrived in Harlem and by her 15th birthday had quit high school and worked in a Brooklyn factory.  She lived in friends homes, at the streets/subways.  But in the 1950’s she had danced and sung for her way when she joined Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe and did a tour in Europe and went solo and that’s when she became the Toast of the Continent – she received flacks about her stance on hard issues and plays no favorites.

Ms. Kitt has always made her age a secret, until a group of students from her hometown went to the City Hall and found her birth certificate – her true birthdate was January 17, 1927 (WOW, my dad was born in June, 1925!) they were only 2 yrs apart!

Would like to get the eco litter robot to be able to use a product that is earth friendly and would help me save on kitty litter.
