INTRODUCTION: In a surprising turn of events, the cute but fearless feline, Max, wins the presidential elections. Voters are both delighted and perplexed.
Amid the tumult and general confusion, an unlikely portrait is emerging in the national political landscape. The traditional parade of men in dark suits has been eclipsed by a fiery gray and white furball, a power-drunk domestic kitten named Max. Taking his new post with a nonchalant attitude, Max has offered voters a change of pace that they could never have imagined.
“We wanted change, something different and we got it,” says Mrs. Durand, 58, a local resident who voted for Max. “He may be a cat, but at least he doesn’t tell us stories.” The sentiment seems to be shared by a majority of citizens, tired of traditional politics, and who are now ready to give this imperturbable feline a chance.
However, Max’s exact role as president remains unclear. “He can’t actually sign laws or make speeches, but he has a soothing presence. That’s what our country needs right now,” reflects renowned political scientist, Jean-Paul Plouf. “And then, what could go wrong? He’s a cat after all.”
“Max promised to sleep more and purr louder, and these simple commitments seem to be what people really want,” says Serge Lagaffe, a politician turned political analyst. The gamble seems to be paying off, but only the future will tell if Max, the new feline president of the republic, will keep his promises.
