Not Quite The End Of The Line


By Miss Kubelik

We cats are in Canada, and so are Charles and Camilla. We haven't noticed a lot of swooning over either presence — but then, we're not going to end up on Canadian money someday, are we? (Neither will Charles, until his mother checks out. And even after that, it will take some time for the QEII bills to go out of circulation.)

And P.S.: Don't count Elizabeth out. After skipping several events, including the opening of Parliament, she suddenly showed up at a horse show and the dedication of the Elizabeth Line on London's Underground. The Queen is 96, and goodness gracious. She defines indefatigable.

Meanwhile, Canadians are wrestling with whether they'll be cool with Charles as King. Sounds like an unpleasant dilemma, but hey — parliamentary democracy doesn't seem so bad these days. Not when the Republican Party in the US is nominating election deniers for Governor and Secretary of State, and not when the erstwhile POTUS threatened* to execute officials who refused to overturn 2020 results. We cats HISS.

*Trump's spokesman says the official in question is lying. Well, Trumpsters sure are experts on that, aren't they? We cats HISS again.
