Residents of the Mexican city Xalapa have a new choice for mayor, Morris the cat.

Morris has more than 125,000 likes on Facebook and have inspired citizens to sponsor a donkey and chicken for other elected office.  His slogan is "cat"chy (sorry).  "Tired of voting for rats?  Vote for a cat." Given the US Congress has a 10 percent approval rating and videos of cats are nearly universally adored, American electeds may not want to ignore this race.  More on that can be found here.
