The cat mayoral race

In Somerville, Massachusetts, a community bike path has, in recent months, become a hotly contested political constituency. A cat with a distinctive black smudge on her nose, Berry, had been sighted on the path by a number of concerned neighbours, who reported her missing. But she wasn’t actually anywhere she shouldn’t have been – Berry is an outdoor cat who lives in the area – so her family put up a poster dubbing her the bike path’s “mayor” to let neighbours know not to worry. It wasn’t long though before things got out of hand. How come Berry got to be mayor, asked other pet owners?

I'm going to save what looks like a delightful cat article to read when cat videos aren't enough.

Good stuff. Reminds me of a little town probably an hour from me. They've preferred canine mayors since 1998.

Boone, a bluetick coondog, easily won the Rabbit Hash, Kentucky mayoral race. The river town has elected four-legged mayors since 1998.

Allan:

I hate you. Almost as much as you seem to hate Arkansas farmers!

If I had a vote, Picosita all the way.

Hatefully yours.
