NATIONAL HEAD PET DEBATE PREPARATIONS DEMAND ATTENTION

There was no Pet Report yesterday as all the pets were involved in the 
preparation of Lady Emma for the big National Head Pet Debate hosted by the 
North Shore Animal League.  Even the Emperor Catsby and his Imperial Court 
participated in the preparation, as is it was a point of pride for all the 540 
Paddock Pets to have Lady running for national Pet Office, Darnell, by virtue of 
his online Economics degree, coached Lady on the questions she was likely to 
have to field pertaining to her Affordable Pet Care Initiative Photo 1); Daisy, 
by reason of her Public Relations experience, was able to suggest to Lady how to 
best present herself, although Lady rejected her suggestion that she wear a ski 
cap during the debate  ; and Catsby taught Lady his fiercest Haka chant  in 
order to scare her debate opponents. So obsessed with preparation were the pets, 
that they overlooked the fact that the debate is actually for tomorrow night, a 
fact that they found out only after waiting inside the Green Room at the North 
Shore Animal League shelter for several hours, waiting for the television crews 
to arrive.  Lady only learned that she had arrived on the wrong night when a 
star struck stray (Photo 2) at the Shelter asked for her autograph, then told 
her that the other candidates were arriving tomorrow.  Lady thanked the stray 
for his information but couldn't resist telling him that unlike her opponents 
she had a plan for raising strays like him up to the pet middle class, and that 
her plan involved Pet Government doing what it does best, which is spending 
money on dog treats.  We will have to see how Lady's message resonates with 
feline voters, an important sector of the Pet Electorate.
