I like how Curtis Silwa is running on the Protect Animals ticket when he owns 17 cats.

He doesn't specify which animals he wants to protect owl-wink

I mean, cats are adorable. They're little monsters that kill all sorts of smaller animals, but they're pretty cute lil monsters.

I like them but it isn't ethical to own 17 of them in an urban apartment.

Look, it's not a home, it's a barracks. Every night those cats are out on the streets protecting new yorkers from the rats. HQ is a place for debriefing, wet food, and cat naps before hitting those hard streets again and again and again until the scourge is erased. Every cat is issued a red beret.

Alright you convinced me. I'm fine with hoarding cats if they wear little berets.

Okay, now I need to see a kids' show made by some socialist state about these revolutionary kitties fighting against both rats and capitalist pigs. Cuddle shaped revolutionaries in little berets, and a HQ that's a weird cross between the kitty room of a cat café and a military barracks. A kitty fountain that's treated like an office watercooler. A conference table with scratching posts. Kitty beds stacked on top of each other like a cross between bunk beds and those "purrkour" setups some places responsible for a lot of cats like to build for them.

It is if the alternative is for them to be put down because shelters are overfilled and have no investment to actually keep animals alive.
