Cats campaigning for Bike Path Mayor in Somerville

A group of feline friends in Somerville are campaigning to be mayor of a local bike path and from kibbles to crime they re not afraid to weigh in on the issues The current mayor a -year-old shorthair named Berry is working to swing votes in her direction by getting out and about and working the streets which are lined with political signs for his competitors I think everyone is appreciating the cat puns and cat-related political humor commented Berry s owner Mallory Bissett It all started when Mallory put out a sign letting passersby know that Berry s there to serve Soon after signs for other candidates started popping up along the street Candidates include Pirate who is campaigning for kibble for all and Puzzle who is advocating for more cat naps A large number of residents who spoke with NEWS noted they re going to vote for Berry since she s so frequently on the path The message Make Cats Outside Again is from the candidate herself that s her position we do not believe that all cats should be outside Bissett revealed People just want to be able to have fun in their locality and a little bit of silliness is a good thing I think Berry the favorite to win re-election has been endorsed by the city s Mayor Katjana Ballantyne
