Morris the cat is running for Mayor of Xalapa in eastern Mexico.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2...candidate.html

His campaign slogan is catchy. "Tired of Voting for Rats? Vote for a Cat."

His owner Sergio Chamorro says 'He sleeps almost all day and does nothing, and that fits the profile of a politician.'

He does seem qualified and probably the best candidate. But being a cat, he would not listen to his 'master' and would treat everyone as his staff.

I'd vote for him, heck he can be PM over here, can't do a worse job...although I think he might get into a few fights with Larry.

He's got my vote.
I'll vote as early and often as he wants.

Campaign slogans are nice but don't always reflect what the candidate's real policies are. I think I'll wait until I've heard a speech or two before deciding. Maybe even a TV interview.

Very bad for the secret services for that country, i take it the cat will either step back, or be killed.
Rats will always prevail

The rats are so tough in some parts of Mexico that the cats have to go around in pairs to stop themselves from being mugged!

Is it a bad sign that I have more faith in a cat to do a good job as a politician than the actual politicians we have in office now?

Morris the cat has been a write in candidate for many years now.

When it came to foreign policy, Morris was just a big puss.
