Cats believe in Hope too!
Today was a big day for us. It’s one of the last weekend days for us to really get ready for Get Out the Vote. It’s fun to practice all the mayhem and excitement that will take place on November 4th. It’s fun to think of all the people that will be coming together in communities across this nation to elect the man they think is best fit to be a leader of the free world.
One of our best volunteers here in Hilltop is a lovely woman who loves cats. If you drive to her home, you are literally surrounded by McCain signs on all sides. And there on her lawn is a shiny Obama/Biden sign. She proudly displays her independence and is not afraid of her neighbors.
Recently, her neighbors decided to play a prank on her and switch her Obama lawn sign with a McCain neighbor’s sign. Being the good-hearted and sweet woman that she is, she laughed at the prank. And then she got even in one of the most genius ways I can think of.
Because she loves cats, cats love her. Her backyard is the happenin’ spot for any little kitty that wants a fun treat from a loving neighbor. One day, the cat from the devious McCain-loving neighbor showed up on this lovely woman’s back porch. Suddenly, she had a revelation- and she went for it. She took the collar off the kitty and attached an “I voted early for Obama” sticker to her collar and sent kitty back on her merry feline way.
Since then, the neighbors have left her lawn sign alone. But the kitty still loves the neighbor… so the kitty has become our mascot. We call her “Obama-Kat.”
