I Can Be Nice
I would note that when I read about Larry being brought in to deal with a rat infestation at 10 Downing Street, I didn’t ask: “Wouldn’t an election be more effective?”
See, I’m not always sarcastic.

An election would be more humane than wafarin
Well, that is true, Jams. On humanitarian grounds an election would be better 😉
Bryan, on this side of the Atlantic, as evidenced in Wisconsin, Ohio etc., the notion of representative government seems to be under attack. But for any cats that take up residence in the government buildings of Wisconsin, there are certainly plenty of rats to keep them occupied and fed.
Jams, could we borrow Larry for a few months?
Well, Larry apparently managed to draw first blood. Went trawling the British news sites, the most entertaining of which was the Daily Mail (of course!). First on Larry’s list of things to do, apparently, was to curl up and take a snooze. Photographers and a TV crew poised to record his historic appointment for the nation were told they’d have to wait 45 minutes while he got some zeds in. Next on his to-do list was using ITV reporter Lucy Manning as a scratching post when she tried to man-handle (cat-handle?) him.
All in a day’s work for a cat, heh!

Steve please have a loan of Larry with my compliments.
On a separate note I used to have a William Hague cat toy (back when he was leader of the tories ). I will have to see if I can find Cameron and Clegg toys. I am sure that Ted et al would dearly love to tear those to pieces!
Oh, you may not have said it, but you sure as hell thought it.
Sarcasm. You can’t escape it.
Hahahah! Yeah, an election would certainly do the trick. The rats that could be removed via election could certainly be harder on the taxpayer pocket than the other type of rats:)
Actually, Britain seems to have an over abundance of badgers, to the point of calls for a cull. Perhaps Larry could stay at Downing Street and the extra badgers could be shipped to the capital of the Badger State to deal with the vermin 😉
It is amazing the number of people who don’t know that cats do their best work at night, and are not overly interested in daylight activities. A few corpses dumped on the route between the bedroom and bathroom should ensure a long-term contract.
I had a friend, Jams, who bought a Dubya toy for her cats, but her cocker spaniel bit it in half after about five minutes. You should look for good quality so they can be abused for an extended period – just like the British people with be abused.
