(PCM) Being so overly dissatisfied with the human candidates for mayor in the town of Barnaul in Siberia the residents have decided they would rather elect a cat for the position and have nominated an 18-month old Scottish Fold feline named Barsik.
The cat is currently up against six additional human candidates for the mayor position and has already accumulated nearly 5,000 votes in an unofficial poll conducted in the area. Officials in the town claim that the reason that Barsik the cat is receiving so many votes is due to the fact that the town residents are very unfamiliar with the human candidates up for election.
The towns previous mayor resigned back in August and town residents also feel that they no longer know who to trust when it comes to what is best for their town.
