Politics have hit the feline community.


“Dear Cocoa,

I am no longer a spring chicken (so to speak) and I have learned a lot during my long lifetime.  I have become very opinionated about felines in general and feline politics in particular.  My family and friends have told me that I am too political and should ‘tone’ it down.  Is it wrong to have opinions and to voice them?  For instance:  I firmly believe that felines have the right to be pampered no matter where they come from.  I also believe felines deserve the very best and should fight for that right.  Am I too opinionated?  Should I dummy up and keep my ideas to myself?  Please advise.

Signed Opinionated”

“Dear Opinionated,

Political and proud of it!
I believe that all felines deserve to be pampered and deserve the best.  Now that I have gotten that out of the way, I also feel that most felines don’t want to hear the political aspect of it, they just want to be pampered.  Sadly, that is the way most felines feel.  Believe as you wish, speak out with those of like minds, and enjoy the good life of a feline; however, when others who don’t believe or feel as you do are about, smile and keep your thoughts to yourself!  I hope I have helped.

 PS:  to test the waters, try throwing out a random comment about a mild issue and see how it is received.  That will give you an idea about the mind-set of those around you.
