On this U.S. election day, as I watch my human and her boyfriend go out the door on their traditional walk to their polling place, I think to myself…
What would the world be like if we kitties could vote?
It would be a different and much better world! Think about it:
- Boundaries would be marked by peeing on them. If there was a dispute caused by too many opposing kitties peeing, the territorial situation could be solved with Feliway and by adding vertical space. No war necessary!
- Bankers and Wall Street humans all would be out of a job because cats don’t care about money and economics.
- Laws would be enacted that allow cats to bring their humans with them when being rescued from natural disasters.
- There would be a health care overhaul; humans would have to have their temperatures taken the same way we cats have to.
- Everyone would be allowed midday naps and lots of treats.
- Humans convicted of animal cruelty would be facing a life sentence and maybe even the death penalty!
- A big chunk of the budget would go to helping homeless kitties, and nobody would complain about less fortunate cats getting a handout.
But since we kitties are not allowed to vote (yet), it is up to you humans to exercise your right. Go vote! And when you are standing in the polling booth (if in fact that is how you are voting), stop for a moment and think, “How would my cat vote today?”

Let’s make this happen!!
Maybe we SHOULD rule the world. Would LOVE to see TW get her temperature taken the same way I have tp/
allowed midday naps and lots of treats!!! Horraayyyy!!!
Sparkle, great post! The world would definitely be a better place if us kitties could vote!!
And there’d be a National Tortie Day! Right Binga?
Purrs,

Great post Sparkle! But actually we can vote. A cat named Harry Spotter is running for president and needs our votes 🙂 Stop by my place at the second post to get all the details.

FaRAdaY: You GO Sparkle! TOTALLY loving the thermometer thing. It’s just the way we roll around here.
Mom took our list of what we want to vote for and she said if they were on the ballot, she’d vote our way.
Cats would vote for a paradise earth where they could be outdoor kitties with no dangers. They would vote for no more animal abuse…perfect food with no animal byproducts…loving companions…that is just a start from what my cat told me…..
LOVE your reasons on why cats should vote <3
Here in Sweden it´s election time 2014
Obviously we agree with you completely! The humans better wise up and let us fur people vote.
Boy, what a better world that could be! We’re all for the naps and treats. And maybe required outdoor homes for the ferals with all the comforts humans get to enjoy. Purrs…
After reading this I sure wish that kitties could vote!
I’d vote for you, Sparkle!!!
yup, you have all the priorities handled Sparkle, that must be why you are a famous LA ladycat! paw pats, Savannah
Those are some pretty great reasons to have us cats in charge!
Glogirly could really use that midday nap one!
: ) she’s voting this afternoon!
Yes, we kittehs should rule the world. We would do it so much better.
Hi Sparkle! Seriously, things would be so much easier if cats could vote! For now, though, we do make sure our humans vote in every election.
Can you stand for president, please ?
Of COURSE we love the budget idea! MomKatt, however, isn’t so keen on the thermometer idea … still, in for a penny, in for a pound!
And we DEFNITELY voted!
LOVE
Selina
I vote for all of the above!
mom voted….and she does look at the records and see if some of those peoples support animal issues. 🙂
We voted and I’m pretty sure we voted the way the kitties would want. At least I hope so.
And nip would be free from taxes!
excellebn isn’t a new word our Mum has been gossiping all morning to her friend instead of commenting and her hands have obviously gone on a go slow. excellebn should read as excellent! (which it clearly isn’t!!)
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
ps no treats for her tonight!!
What an excellebn idea to let us cats sort out the economy. The humans would never ever be able to catch enough mice to pay their taxes though!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Now I can say for my cats : “We had a dream !” BTW thank you for the info on the lillies ! I didn’t know ! Arthur eats but not so much as usual. Fortunately he doesn’t seem to be too much affected. I’ll keep a watchful eye on him !
Those are some terrific ideas on why cats should vote. You had our Mom laughing out loud. We of course especially like a large chunk of the budget going to help homeless kitties. Have a great day.
i like the midday naps and lots of treats idea-the healthcare overhaul one, not so much!
