>Cats are running for mayor of a Mass. bike path. Locals think it's ‘meow-velous.'
>An election is heating up in Somerville, Massachusetts. It's got a lot of purr-sonality and even a bit of scandal, just no people.
>"It's a very hot race. Lot of contenders," said Colescott Rubin, a Somerville resident.
>A group of feisty felines are campaigning for the imaginary office of Bike Path Mayor on the Somerville Community Path. And it seems one candidate has a very real enemy.
>"It's dirty politics," said one Somerville resident. "The original race — we have photo evidence, it's all over the Somerville Discord — was Orange Cat versus Berry, who's the incumbent. I see Berry all the time. I see Orange Cat almost as much. And then other candidates started coming in and then Berry's sign was stolen."
>A couple of hours later, Berry's sign reappeared, with her promise to "Make Cats Outside Again."
>According to Bissett, Berry has even received an endorsement from Somerville's mayor.
>The community has also joined in on the fun and it's now become a competitive and creative field. Freya is running as a member of the Com-meow-nist Party, Orange Cat is running with the Catalyst Party and Clawdius is representing the Indoor Cat Party.
>Unsurprisingly, voters have questions.
>"I want to know like, Minerva the cat, what is her take on crime? Is she for crime? Is she against it?" said Jennie Erikson, of Somerville, referring to her enigmatic sign.
>On Pirate's sign, which proclaims "More Kibble for All," there is a QR code where anyone passing by can cast their vote. According to the voting form, voting closes Sept. 5, which is also the last day to register vote in Somerville.
