Last night, Elsie said HELP, which she rarely says. I said, "Show me." She led me to the counter, then jumped from there to my shoulder, where she proceeded to use the additional height to hunt a mosquito. I can't help but think that if she'd been in the debate she would've been the most coherent.

I find myself wondering what her platform would be. (I mean, when it isn’t your shoulder.) I imagine she would be in favor of increased access to kitten care, more kibble for everyone, and shorter work days.

She demonstrated a willingness to change. She had been strongly anti-Guppy, a stance many of us felt diminished her credibility as a viable candidate. Her opponents would say she flip-flopped, but they're mosquitos so who cares?

I thought my lovely Leeloo was smart as she’ll sit and stare at me until she has my attention. When I stand up and say “show me” she’ll lead me over to what she wants (grooming tooks, toys, water bowl etc). I think your Elsie is smarter!!

Elsie just has words! Give Leeloo buttons and I bet she'll have lots to share.

Leeloo sounds very considerate. Or you are better at noticing non-verbal cues 😁

Well, there’s the odd occasion when I’ve taken too long to notice her. Then I get a gentle paw on my kneecap!

Who's a communicative little murder machine? Oh yes she is! 😁

Her nickname is, in fact, Murdercat.

We used to have a cat that would demand to be picked up and lifted up so she could get at the daddy-long-legs on the wall or in the air. Hence they got the name of Brakkie-snacks..

I like her willingness to delegate and ask for help. I'm not sure her attention span would be up to the Presidential Daily Brief, given verbally, so on that she's at a tie with Trump and behind Biden. I'll bet her empathy is higher than Trump's, though.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that two of my three dogs would make a better president than either of those guys.

Please tell me about your third dog

Naga: ultra-neurotic border collie who flies off the handle when something is Not As It Should Be and who has very strong and detailed opinions as to How It Should Be. Which does suggest she'd do fine in the GOP, except she's conscientious.

My in-laws used to have a border collie and she was a great dog but whew do they come in anything other than ultra-neurotic???

This is true, however I have a slight concern that her presidency would be a particularly bloody one as she crushed all opposition beneath her iron paw.

Elsie for president 2024!

Our Biscuit would have been more coherent, and he only has 4 buttons which he uses indiscriminately. (He's trying, though. You can almost see the smoke coming out of his ears as he tries to figure out which button means what.)
