So you think that we’re miserable, bitter, and sad,
all alone with our kitties, and wishing we had
had the sense to go after the love of a lad
with the intent of transforming him into a dad.
What great joys, you maintain, would then have been ours,
giving birth, washing diapers, and striving for hours
to adorn our abode with tchotchkes and flowers—
for what more can you expect of our limited powers?
Yet, like fools, we ignored and perversely rejected
the advice to stay home, as Nature expected.
Alas, what remains now for us childless wretches?
What balm can be found to calm our kvetches?
But hear us and listen, your preaching abandon!
There is stuff about us that you can’t even fathom.
For child-free by choice or childless by fate,
many are the delights to be had in this state
unimagined by you or your stout running mate.
It is true that we love our cats to distraction,
but we won’t let that passion divert us from action.
We’ll accomplish our goal, which as you can see,
is to keep Donald Trump from the presidency.

This is wonderful, Lali, not only a special edition but a tonic to our political senses and a tickle to our funny bones….and the drawing….!!!!
I couldn’t help myself.
Lali: So pitch perfect! Such a delight and lyrical and hysterical! Thank you! A reminder to maintain levity in all of this brevity.
Levity is crucial to our sanity.
FANTASTIC, Lali !!!!
Thank you, Mary. I hope it made you giggle.
Amen!
Cat ladies unite!
Utterly wonderful in all respects. Particularly in the suggestiveness of the art!
Thank you, Jill. I must say I was pleased with the cat pose.
OMG. So perfect. What a lift to the day.
J.D. is the new muse, for me and many others. Social media is exploding with hilarious cat lady stuff.
Just delightful. Including the punctuation point of the cat drawing 😉
Thank you, Sue. Cats are graceful, no matter what they’re doing, no?
Here’s to cats everywhere, human or feline, who are giving the paw to those making choices for us.
Hear, hear!
You rock Lali
Thank you, Graham. Vance deserves credit for the inspiration, though.
Obviously, the ‘man’ has no common sense.
As Hilary learned when she called deplorables deplorables, people don’t like it when you insult them – ‘he’ has irritated people who can leave their kitties safely at home taking care of themselves – and go VOTE. BIG mistake, Mr. V. VERY big mistake.
I think Vance should keep talking. He’s done so much good for the Democrats already.
What a delight! I have a tchotchke of my own that says “One cat away from a crazy cat lady”, a gift from my daughter at a time when I had four cats. I displayed it with pride, at least when I lived in a bit of a larger space. Maybe now I should send it along to JD as a special reminder of what we Cat Ladies are capable of, childless or not!
Good idea! Let’s inundate JD with cat tchotchkes.
Orange alley cats can seldom control themselves…as they search through the streets for wanton others to own.
mdlp 😽
Took me a minute to figure out the orange alley cats!
Brilliant! Just brilliant 👏
Thank you. I always love your FB posts!
Wonderful, Lali! As a childless cat lady, I 100% approve this message! (and I wish I could vote)
I wish you could vote too, Mali!
Thanks Lali…..Hurrah, to cat ladies, cat men, cat others…….Vance , we cat people VOTE. You will see🐈🐈⬛
Love “cat others”!
I’m allergic enough to cats to not be able to own one – but I am convinced they could vote if they wanted to! Look out hillbilly 🙂
Look out indeed!
Lots of fun but also a dagger to JD Vance–who uderstands neither cats or woen. Thanks for sending
Glad you enjoyed it!
