Cat Ruler of the World - Week 2. Cats v Dogs!


Debate topic: It was supposed to be about who is more qualified to rule the world; cats or dogs?  Dogs are apparently more popular? But lets be serious here. It all comes down to who can deliver. Left to their own devices, dogs will deliver balls, bits of tree, a chewed slipper. Only if they are trained do they bring lunch. We cats, on the other paw, instinctively know when to bring tasty morsels and pile them up outside the human's door. You don’t have to ask us to, we just know what to do. We are natural born hunters leaders.


Dogs aquiver
Cats deliver 

So the actual debate topic is: 

How do the Cat-idates for Cat Ruler of the World 2012 respond to critics who would say that it is impossible to rule the world with any credibility if you nap over 16 hours a day?  

You can see my (Austin’s) response and the full exchange with all the cat-idates HERE.



The issue of what we call serial napping is indeed a very impawtant subject and Zee & Zoey were quite right in bringing it to the attention of the world at this stage of the campaign. Being a true politician of course I will resort to sound bites in place of to encapsulate my policies. Also being a poet of some renown, I have devised some rhyming sound bite couplets in true Shakespearean fashion:




Nap for sixteen, nip for six, 
Delivering lunch will give you ticks! 
or
Nap for sixteen, nip for eight,
No more time to fight your mate.
or
Nap for sixteen, nip for four
You can choose to nap some more.

Voting starts on September 11th

  7. I don't understand why everyone is talking about dogs in this campaign. I thought it was a world cat ruler not a world cat and dog ruler. Our cats here love our two dogs and get along a whole lot better than most of the cats around here.

  8. Austin, how do you respond to allegations that you and Spitty are a bit, er, too friendly? Someone is trying to sell your opponents damning photos of you two in a pink beddie.

  11. Oh Austin,
    you're intelligent, regal, handsome
    you make this so difficult! If for some odd reason you are not elected Ruler of the World, at the very least you should be the next royal head of England! I understand there's a cat in Parliament--true!

  13. Austin, I have to say I am most impressed with your literary references in your debate. They show a lot of intelligence and consideration behind your arguments. But what exactly is your platform?

  14. and also cats wait while you bow down with their food, dogs must beg for their food. Cats may wander where they will, dogs must drag their owners by a leash. Cats may stare at everyone including kings. Dogs must NEVER stare at cats.
    On the other paw to be a good politician cats have to learn to cheat and lie !!

    Nice job on the debate, Austin. Watch your back though. Cathy Keisha is out in the field. It's like Team Katie has eyes in the back of her head.
