I Declare

Once the Olympics ended, I thought the days of my parents shouting at the TV would be over, turns out I was wrong. They've spent a good deal of time shouting the last couple of weeks, one week cheering, and one week jeering. Since all the noise was interrupting my naps, I decided to investigate, and of course, it was politics. My parents can become quite excitable when it comes to politics.

Earlier this year, when it was time to pick "the one" for "the party," they wondered aloud who I might vote for. They thought I might vote for Mit Romney, solely because they wanted to start a "Kittens for Mittens" campaign slogan - please don't encourage them by laughing now - they laughed over that for nearly a week. Do they think I'm such a tinkerfluff that I would have no opinion of my own; really do I seem to be without opinions?

Mommy recently asked me if I was a Democat or a Republicat, a Liberal or a Conservative. I told her I would think about it and let her know. After much consideration I realized I'm both, Liberal and Conservative. I'm quite liberal when it comes to my parents distributing my treats, but I would be very conservative about sharing my treats with others.

I hate faxes (I shred anything that comes from the fax machine's evil mouth), so I guess I'm for whoever will fax us less... "What's that Mommy? ...Oh Taxes! Oh, well, never mind then."

I believe in a feline’s right to choose – say between crunchy treats or Fancy Feast. "What's that Mommy? Oh, well, never mind that either then."

Wait, what am I thinking? I am a Cat! Of course I'm an Independent. I hear some of my fellow cats (Cheysuli & Derby) are throwing their paws into the ring, and I told Mommy I wanted to go the way of the kitties.

  3. Of course we have the right to make our own choices. If we get crunchies when we want Stinky Goodness, we just ignore them until they are taken away and the Stinky Goodness arrives.

  4. Yup. We're definitely supporting Chey.

  5. There's no shouting at the TV in this house, only sighing, tutting and reaching for the remote, as my humans are 100% jaded by our UK politicians.

    The way of the kitties is the only way to go Fin, you are absolutely right. Perfect Cat Sense!

  8. Bonjour Fin! You obviously have a good deal of common sense when it comes to running things in this country. Maybe Chey could use you in her Cabinet!

  10. Thank for for the information. I try to stop on top of the politics, but with all of the Temptations of eating Greenies or Gimborns, I just don't think I can choose.
