This demo-cat is running for president:

I'm sure he can't be as bad as some of the other candidates and is probably a good deal better than many.

I just am giggling at his name. I had a cat as a child whose tail had been run over and his name was Buttonbutt.

Depends on if you accept the "cat year" methodology of ascertaining his age.
I think if he is 5 (that's what the article states) and that equates to 35 human years then we should be golden!

On the topic of cat age vs human age, I read somewhere that in terms of development (most mammals spend a smaller part of their lives as juveniles than humans do), it makes most sense to translate a cat's first year to 15 human years, the second year to nine human years, and every additional year after that as four years. A two-year-old cat is an adult, whereas a fourteen-year-old human is still a child.

Hm, that does make sense, and in that methodology Mr Limberbutt would be 15+9+4+4+4 = 34. Not quite old enough if the cutoff is 35, unless he is closer to 6 than 5.
My 19 year old Mocha would be 24 + (17*4) = 92. Yeah, that sounds about right!

Argh, math is hard without enough coffee, why did I do that....

I'm wondering who his running mate should be. Any suggestions?

Perhaps Mick E Mouse?

I love the first comment from InheritTheWindow:
