WARNING : LOCK UP YOUR GABBY CATS

Several of Darwin’s famous talking cats have been approached to stand as candidates at the next NT election. The ALP has been going to the dogs ever since the last election and has now decided to go catty . In a bid to claw back power, ALP talent scouts , Syd Suet and Bob Bumbles, have spoken to two Cheshire cats on a hot tin roof. These celebrity cats regularly appear on the front page of the NT News and are prolific writers of erudite letters to the editor on a wide range of subjects.

They therefore have a great public image, enhanced by their lucrative pet food endorsements. One of them will soon star in a new Channel 7 TV show , Dancing With the Mau Mau,in which jiving cats tear up the expensive studio carpet to the throbbing beat of African tom-toms. Each week, one of the hepcats will be voted out, skinned and turned into headgear worn by Texan politician , Davy Crockett, who was plugged at the Alamo .

Darwin’s best known ear- bashing cat, Mischief, has been promised the important portfolios of education , health and mouse control. In addition, the top cat will be given a top hat and be entitled to a special container of perfumed kitty litter in his ministerial washroom on the fifth floor of the Wedding Cake. His spin doctor will be a famous real doctor,Dr Zeus .

Any animal which can put a sentence together without the help of a spin doctor will improve the image of the party, which is in a catatonic state ever since being caught like a rat in a trap by the ringmaster of a rural flea circus.
