If you have been keeping up with the world of cats, you might have seen our previous post highlighting Mr. Fang, one of the candidates from this year's feline mayoral race in Somerville, Mass. But since then we have received word that the campaign trail has been flooded by feline entrants and now there are almost a hundred community cattos who are hoping to get your vote to become the town's Bike Path Mayor for 2025 and the competition is fierce.

Feline pawrents have been designing and putting up signs all over town, and the feline candidates have been doing the rounds, making sure that the residents who they will be representing feel heard by them. And we have the photos capturing all of the cute cat chaos that has taken over the mild-mannered town of Somerville, Mass. So what are you waiting for, get to scrolling and tell us who you are going to vote for in 2025!

  • Honestly, this is one of the toughest decisions we have ever had to make. But we can say with some certainty that we would not be completely against voting for Lunchbox or Pirate. It just feels right that an elected official have a wildly inappropriate name.
