A couple of nights ago, Cat Daddy and I sat down to watch the live election debate between our current Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Louis Catorze joined us, taking his usual place on his papa’s lap.

Fifteen minutes in and I’d had enough; all they did was shout over each other (the election candidates, I mean, not Catorze and Cat Daddy). And it seemed I wasn’t alone in finding it quite jarring and stressful because, just as I stood up to go and do something else, Catorze stepped onto the remote control and changed channels.

Cat Daddy: “OH, FOR ****’S SAKE! LOUIS, YOU ****!”

Catorze: “Mwah!”

Fresh from being sworn at by his papa.

I adjourned from the kitchen to the living room to watch something more relaxing – demonic possessions, serial killers, whatever – whilst Cat Daddy tried to rewind back to the point where he’d left off. Catorze, whose work was done, came to sit with me for a short while, then escaped out at The Front when Cat Daddy put out the recycling.

The next day, the general consensus regarding the election debate was that neither candidate covered themselves in glory. In other words, Catorze’s thinking was in line with that of the nation.

Or was the nation in line with Catorze? And is this all part of the World Domination Plan?

      But they’d enslave us and make us give them the finest of everything whilst existing on scraps ourselves! Would you want to live like that? Oh, wait …

      Larry isn’t standing. We all wanted him to, but he doesn’t want the hassle. I don’t blame him.

        It’s true; who wants the aggravation? Cats like giving aggravation but do not like to receive it.

    I can understand Louis. Most of the time, election debates aren’t worth watching.

      I agree with the word « awful ». During most of the election debates, candidates don’t listen to each other and lack of respect. In a nutshell, they don’t set an example for the kids we have to educate.

    Any chance of Larry winning as a write-in candidate ?

    He is a smart cat. My cat has been known to step on the mute button at a critical part of a show. Guess if they don’t like it, they make it known.

      They do! Luther used to sit on top of the TV and dangle his limbs and tail over the screen.

    Louis has the right idea. All politicians are obnoxious to watch while they’re trying to sell themselves to us

      Yes, even the ones we hate the least come across badly.
