A cat who was rescued from the mean streets of Brownsville has been living like a big shot at the Cafe Liberty social club for over five years, but his sweet life at the former mob hangout is coming to an end. The Daily News reports that mob associate Alfred (Freddy Hot) DiCongilio "recruited" the club's four-legged member in 2006. The right-wing club members named the cat, which is black, "Obama" after the 2008 election. But that's not stupid or racist, it's just because "he does what he wants to," as club member Arthur Giallorenzo, 83, explains.
Freddy Hot has since passed away, and according to the News, control of the club has passed into non-mob hands. The remaining members are "dying," according to club member Sam Digristana. "Everybody's dying, that's basically it" he tells the News. "No new members." After fifty years, the club is closing down, and they need to find their cat a new home. Right this way for video of one badass Democat refusing to get depressed by the old men playing solitaire:
