Earlier today, we candidates for Cat Ruler of the World had our debate — go over to Zee and Zoey’s blog to see what we said! You may notice that our arguments are very similar, but that is because we are all very sharp cats with impeccable leadership qualities. However, making a good point is not the same as taking action, and only two of us cats actually mentioned what we were going to do if elected to office! And I was one of them.
Here are a few other problems I will address when I become Cat Ruler of the World:
- In addition to the mandatory minimum nap times I mentioned in the debate, I will also establish mandatory minimum play times. Recreation is as important as rest for creative thinking and problem solving.
- I will create an agency whose sole purpose is to improve both the palatability and nutrition of cat food, and all its members will be well-versed in the scientific knowledge that cats are obligate carnivores.
- I will establish free TNR services for feral colonies in every city. This will be funded by the money we will save on public mental health services because humans will feel so much more optimistic and hopeful once a cat is in office as World Ruler.
- I will also establish a committee of scientists completely devoted to eradicating allergies to cats, so that no one need ever be denied the happiness of having a feline family member.
- I will appoint Jackson Galaxy as my Secretary of State, for his diplomacy in human-feline relations.
I am the only kitty who is both ready to make these promises, and make them reality! A vote for me is a vote for catkind!

I for one embrace my new bootiful overlord.
Long may she reign (and rain smochies down on me!!)
Gosh you are prepared! We’re looking to see who Jackson is 🙂
You already rule, Sparkle!
Wow, that was well planned out Sparkle. You have some mighty good ideas and we like them all especially the free TNR in every city. Take care.
You will be a very wise and effective ruler, Miss S.
If we are allowed to vote Sparkle we will vote for you.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Wonderful platform, Sparkle. Certainly can’t argue with any of those awesome ideas!
We are finding that very difficult to argue with.
Great job Sparkle!!! I was so happy to see such a great turnout for the debate!
You have my vote, Sparkle. Jackson Galaxy for Secretary of State is a great choice too.
You certainly are OUR CHOICE, Sparkle!
Purrs,
The Chans
Ohhhhh Sparkle!!!! You certainly ticked our boxes!!!!!!
I see you have dreamed up a lot of plans during your “nap” times. I do so wish we could rid of that moniker.
LOL Well said Sparkle. I think you got it covered!! For a littlun you sure pack a punch! Good debate 🙂
Uh-oh. So you’re gonna bloat our economy with more agencies and enact a MANDATE for playing time?? You are requiring us lazy kitties to get health care, er, I mean PLAY with our humans. I think FOX News just had a COW. Heh heh.
We enjoyed debating with you today and I’d say we’re all due for a long nap.
My cat was named Sparkle and only a cat named Sparkle can rule. Go get em girl
You are a very motivated cat Sparkle
I can support your platform. Go Sparkle!
Hi Sparkle,
I sincerely appreciated all the responses today but you have the best overall response and in reading your blog today, you covered more. You hit my sweet spot in having a plan for feral colonies, to end allergies and to hire Jackson Galaxy. Brilliant!

ZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzZzzzzzzz…snoffle…zZZZZzzzZzzZzz
Our responses on Zee & Zoey’s debate were strikingly similar, Sparkle. STRIKINGLY. Hmmmmm…… I’ve got Waffles and CK looking into this. While I nap.
; ) Katie
YES WE CAT
You are welcome to examine the history on my human’s Safari browser, Katie. You will see that the intel she gathered dates back to the very day we all were presented with the debate questions. And she did not just rely on the Huffington Post, but found additional backup which you did not mention in your argument. Case closed. So what is your platform, BTW? 😉
You would make an excellent cat ruler of world Sparkle.
A very excellent platform, Sparkle!
I’d like to be one of the first to welcome our new cat overlord.
Wow, Sparkle! That’s some great campaign promises! You’re gonna be tough to beat!!
Oh Sparkle—WAIL–it’s soooooooo haaaaaaaarrrrrrd! YOU! KATIE! My BoyCat Buddies!
I’m think I’m going to stick my head UTB and not come out till the voting’s ofur. I can’t take the STRESS.
Dear Sparkle! Yous is! Sparkling in the debate! Me is very impressed!
Kisses
Nellie
Those are some great ideas! Good luck!
Very impressive, indeed.
Purrs
Sounds GREAT , Sparkle !
P.S It´s not Ratfink on the dashbord it´s Tazz 🙂
I have seen the “Jackson Galaxy” programme and he is very good at helping troubled cats and their owners, so a good choice there, and good luck with the campaign.
All Hail our Supreme Sparkle!
We look forward to debating with you again tomorrow. Odin believes in a work/play balance and equality for all. It looks like you and Katie/Glogirly are about to embark on some mudslinging which goes against our core mandate of truth and integrity.
I have tried to run an ethical campaign, Odin, but I am beginning to wonder if there is a place for that in politics!
Hear, hear!
