Who'll be the next top cat?

[cheshirecat]

I was just reading an article in my local paper.

A week or so ago it was announced that Nin the Official Cat at the Mount Washington Observatory was retiring. It's been news across the country.

The search for a successor is down to three candidates and this week someone came up with the idea of letting the public vote on his successor.

I think this is much more interesting than the real primary election.

Also, I read the on line edition and readers are able to post comments about the articles. A least one person has suggested they take all three finalists. He/she feels that there is more than enough room at the top and it would get two more out of their cages.

How cool is that?!?!?

It would be great to adopt more than one, but while the cat would have a fairly large area to roam in the summer (all of the Summit building), I believe in the winter he/she is limited to just the living quarters and rooms of the observatory, which I don't think are very large. I would hate to see the cats get territorial on top of the mountain.

Poor humble yam-farmer raised kitties!

I think they should get two at least! Top cat and vice top cat!
