A cat has been elected to run for mayor.
Morris has been put forward as the citizens' candidate for elections taking place on July 7.
If Morris were to win, he would become the mayor of Veracruz state capital Xalapa, in Mexico.
His campaign slogan is 'Xalapa Without Rats', and he currently comes second of the four candidates with the amount of 'likes' his Facebook page has gathered.
According to his campaign, Morris insists that although he is likely to cause a mess on a regular basis, at least he will cover it up and not leave it lying around for everyone else to clean up.
He also lists his weaknesses as "quilts, sheets, pillows, couches and clothing in general".
I suppose I'll follow up on this next month if Morris wins, in the meantime the article is at Digital Spy:
