Happy Meowscular Monday! As Little Buddy the Cat says, Monday’s a good day to get ripped with intense exercises like slapping treats out of puzzle feeders and moving from one nap spot to another.
In news from the feline world, a cat named Minerva has been elected mayor of a popular bike path in Somerville, Mass.
The election started as a joke but the idea caught on, the media noticed, and soon people around the world were reading about the race between about 50 pets.
Most candidates were cats, but a few neighbors entered dogs, a parrot and a guinea pig.
Minerva ran on one word: “CRIME”
It’s not clear if the new feline mayor was promising to end it, address it or solicit more of it, but the slogan resonated with voters and Minerva surged ahead of the pack, defeating incumbent mayor Berry the cat and original challenger Orange Cat.
People who live in the area said the election helped make the neighborhood friendlier, fostering connections between humans and pets. We can’t wait to see what Minerva does with crime.

Oh WOW, you guys definitely have a better handle on voting than the UK, Minerva definitely has the look of a James Bond Villian about him and wil no doubt be building an underground bunkerbefore stealing all the treats in the USA to corner the market… I sense a joint Buddy and Bella Bond rescue operation coming on

We hadn’t considered this devious possibility. Could the Somerville bike path be used to house an evil lair where evil plots are plotted evilly?

Guessing Minerva will be looking for ways to keep dogs in their place on the trail. 🙂
