5. I just joined and was looking for a thread to post a general "hello" to all.

And this looked like a good place.

I want to do my part to insure that a Democrat remains in the White House, and I will admit that I'm excited it will be a woman.

I was a phone bank captain for Hillary, but I appreciate everything Bernie has done to invigorate the party. I hope we can all come together to insure a reasonable and responsible forward moving government that addresses the needs of the the middle and working classes, the marginalized, and those who were formerly left behind.

7. Welcome lapucelle!

You got here just in time. You missed most of the primaries squabbles!

Here's a kitty for you.

[rjsquirrel]

Love when they are hunting and you can see the wild animal inside.

[passiveporcupine]

[Mr Maru]

36. WELCOME! I've been lurking and over-the-shoulder posting for years

[brer cat]

43. Welcome to DU, lapucelle!

Very nice post!

[progressoid]

6. Seems logical.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Aaahh, kitties! Just what I needed.

Thanks.

[procon]

10. Purrfect!

I swear that 2nd photo of the paw print through dough came from my own kitchen. I should have taken pictures of all the times my little darlings stomped across the pizza dough, plopped down on my freshly flour dusted countertop, or licked the ball of buttered biscuit dough.

12. I just bought a card for a friend that says:

There are TWO kinds of People in the world: CAT PEOPLE and IDIOTS. Gave me a smile, as did your post, so thanks. I'm just hoping we cat people outnumber the idiots!

Cheers.

20. Somewhere a planet of intelligent houseplants lives in fear of invasion from the nearby cat planet.

"Noooooo! The invaders are knocking everyone over!"

23. Eddie and a foster kitten

[ginnyinWI]

24. Eddie and two more, several months later...

[ncgrits]

26. Eddie is awesome!

[ginnyinWI]

31. orange cats are the best!

I've heard about it from several people--they are friendly and self assured, funny and loveable.

[shambolic]

27. LOL nt

[yellowcanine]

28. Cute but probably should be posted in the Lounge.

Don't shoot the messenger, please.

[PoliticAverse]

29. You call those broken cats?...

39. Cat wakes up and remembers that it's Monday.

[Warpy]

30. I'm catless and I hate it

but I don't have anyone to take a beloved furry companion when I kick the bucket or go do-lally enough to get packed off to a nursing home. I really miss having at least one of the little jerks around.

I even miss the pawprint in the pie dough. Or butter.

[ginnyinWI]

32. Adopt a senior cat?

Goodness knows there are a lot of them languishing in shelters.

My take on this argument is that any time you can give a cat in a real home is worth it. The shelter would take them back, most likely. My shelter would, anyway.

And owning a pet is good for you! Would probably extend your healthy, productive years!

[IcyPeas]

34. you could always be a foster cat person

that's the best of both worlds. you get to love and help and socialize. Or the senior cat idea is great too.

I am thinking of doing this myself and just took the Foster Orientation class at my nearby shelter.

33. 4 out of 5 kitties appreciate your post!

38. My furbabies approve of this post!

BFFs -- Jack (orange guy) and Sheba:

Sheba is very dignified & ladylike while Jack is a dog-cat who plays fetch & loves to walk around the house carrying a stick in his mouth. Both of them like to watch cat videos on my iPad.

I love them (and their sister Vera) to the moon and back!

Vera (she's the contrarian of the bunch):
