🐈 “Polling Station Paw-litics: Is This Feline Still Allowed to Vote?” 🗳️
Here we see Doggy-Moggy, the People’s Puss, outside Crowle Polling Station in 2023. Regal. Resolute. Slightly irritated. And doing what every cat should be able to do: escort her human to vote without interference from vague bureaucratic letters.
But fast forward to 2025 and things have changed.
While some residents received glossy, cheerful booklets explaining the upcoming mayoral elections, other households, including Doggy-Moggys’ received… absolutely nothing. No booklet. No instructions. No apologies. Not even a paw-written note from Rob Waltham.
Coincidence? Maybe…
But when you’ve also been told — in an unsigned, script-font letter — to ‘cease contact’ with your local council and avoid disturbing the delicate administrative peace by asking questions like “Can I still vote?”, you begin to wonder...
Is Doggy-Moggy still welcome at the polling station?
More importantly, am I?
The council might say yes. But they also say they’ve got no connection to Severn Trent Water. They also say the drain doesn’t exist (spoiler: it does). And they also say this isn’t personal.
Well, we say: Meow.
