Mexicans Nominate Cat To Run For City Mayor And He Is In The Lead by Goldie20: 6:30pm On Jun 09, 2013 |
Citizens in Xalapa, Mexico have quite a decision to make July 7, when they cast their vote for mayor. One of their choices is a cat who vows to 'rid the city of rats.' Literally, but also in the sense of corrupt politicians. In response to politics as usual, two students in the eastern Mexican city have nominated a cat named Morris for mayor.

Haha. But that is one cute cat. It looks rather like a rabbit. It's no surprise at all that Mr. Feline is in the lead; in fact it should be quite easy for him to win. There is hardly any man in Mexico, or anywhere in the world, who wouldn't be glad to vote for Pússy. |
