I Announce my Candidacy

[Tanada]

I, Cap'n Pine Cone esq. announce my candidacy for Gov'nor of the Golden
State. I figure that I am much handsomer and more articulate than all
the other candidates for the job.

I, being a feline, am a natural champion of animals' rights, including
the right to life, neutering, and the pursuit of everything that moves.
I believe that all animals have the right to a home of their own. They
have the right to know where their next meal is coming from, and they
have the right to all the best sleeping spaces in the house. Animals
should have the right to choose their fellow companions, serving staff,
and visitors.

All animals should have the right to medical care. As terrifying and
evil the TED is, all animals should have the right to see TED whenever
needed. TEDs can and must make payment arrangements in order for all
serving staff to be able to take their animals to them. There must be
no exceptions.

All animal serving hoomins shall have precidence in all lines. There
must be no delays for those snackies and toys to get home. They shall
also be given preferance in all employment choices. There must be no
animals without a means of support.

Finally, all animals deserve the right to sniff out the other candidates
and vote for those who are animal friendly. Animal haters must not be
alowed to serve the public in any form. I reserve the right to scratch
and claw at all animal hating public servants and mark them for hoomins
to know and advoid.

Signed,

Cap'n Pine Cone esq.

If he doesn't get on the ballot, there is always WRITE IN. We couldn't do
that here in Canada though as the ballots always have a black background and
only the candidate's name, party (now I think) and a space for an X. If you
mark anything in the blank spot you just voted for that candidate.

YES!! The first member of my Catinette. You are a welcome addition to
our staff. The hoomins will, of course, remain subordinate.

Who or what are you?

Cap'n Pine Cone esq. who is quite sure that Cory is not a cat, as a cat
KNOWS the hoomins' place in the scheme of things.

I'll be Secretary of Edu-cat-ion 'coz I KNOW how to train humans so they
pander to my every whim. I mean - I've managed to make the male human
believe that it is my god given right to drink the milk out of his
cereal bowl and he makes me marmite on toast in the morning.

Between you teaching them, and Waffles smacking them into line, the
hoomins should be behaving properly in short order. I think our plans
are coming together.

Cory, WE are the front and center of your life as you do some of the
work. Do you know how hard it is to train you hoomins? Don't you know
that you hoomins don't seem to know how to take care of yourselves?
Have you ever met a cat that didn't have his priorities right? We know
we are supposed to have fun. All you hoomins seem to understand is
work, eat, sleep. Very few of you know how to play. WE CATS RULE.

Cap'n, as a human, I have to agree with you on that one....

It means Distinguished Older Cat, a title that we kittiez earn when we turn
ten years old. There's also SOC, for Sophisticated Older Cat -- also used
for the tenth purrday.

Would some more knowledgeable kitty please explain the abbreviations, or
post a link where Auntie Ann could look it up herselves?
