State representatives can throw pieces of legislation on the floor of the House and whichever cats lay on the most get sent to the Senate for the same "vote." The legislation that the most cats have lain on becomes law. The only rules are the paper can't have any odor and no one is allowed to stay in the room and stare at any of the paper like they are trying to read it. AND, all the cats have to be fixed! It can't be worse than what we are dealing with now. #ElectTheKitty #JoinTheKittyRevolution #Catopia #2018 #USPolitics
