Bio[]
"Kitty," also spelled "Kittie," was actually the name applied to a series of Southern California skunks (Mephitus mephitus) confused as cats by relative members of the Rascals, namely Farina in his youth, Wheezer and Marmalade. In doing so, they usually sent the other members of the gang scurrying for cover to avoid getting sprayed. Skunks are known to spray anything up to sixteen feet away, and the scent is powerful enough to carry for almost a mile.
