Mittens for Mayor @ForMittens

@cooliekiwi @mcnaughthelen1 The bill is a fundamental breach of the international agreement that is Te Tiriti, because it removes the rights of tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake enshrined in Article II. The bill is just colonialism by another name

@WillieJLabour Loved your speech in the House, Willie - telling it like it is. Kia kaha from tangata Tiriti!

@JandalLife If you’re a cat, you could get to be mayor and still have time in the day to curl up on the laps of your whanau, and maybe leave all those smart council people to decide where the sewer pipes should go. 😺❤️ #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

Ooh look! I’m almost kinda-famous in that #Wellington way! 🙀😺 #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens

Heads up, peeps … new #MittensForMayor policy! These new council pop-up libraries are all well and good, but when I’m mayor they’ll all have a mandatory library cat - because kid+book+cat = happiness! #TeamMittens #Wellington

@JamesNokise Wow, an award for stage invasion ...! That’s just wonderful! Although for the record, I’m also into invading shops, houses, laps and hearts, amongst other things. Stages are kinda special, though. ❤️❤️❤️ #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

I’m so humbled! Actually, I’m not humble at all ... I’m a cat 😹 #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

Hey #Wellington - if someone could inform #Mittens the cat that they’ve won Best Stage Invasion at the New Zealand Comedy Fest Award. I ofcourse accepted on their behalf, but the award will sit in the Welly Office for collection

@tanyafretz ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so gonna come and rub up against your legs 😺

Going to put together a campaign team, people! What I want is energy, enthusiasm, and adoration. Lots and lots of adoration. In fact, the adoration is the main thing. 😺 Who’s with me? 🦁 #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

@PussyConcerned Sure! Right away! Immediately! Just as soon as I’ve finished this nap! 🦁 #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

@tanyafretz @AJemaineClement And the bucket fountain? Not sure about the bucket fountain. It's cool and all that, but it's really the splashiest water bowl I've ever tried to use! Bad cat-ergonomics, people! #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

Hey future vassals, just had a call from some guy named “Vlad” who said he could guarantee me the election with a bunch of FB ads and a pile of fake news. Said he wanted $100k in $20 notes. What do we think? Legit/not legit? #MittensForMayor #Wellington

@tanyafretz @AJemaineClement Hey @tanyafretz, I love having new followers! It strokes my ginger furry ego in all the right ways! Plus I think the undead are cool, providing they stop looking at their damn phones all the time and pat the cats they meet in the street. #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens #Wellington

Oh, and it’s not true about the mouse. At least, that’s just the mouse’s version of events ... and who would trust a mouse? 😸#MittensForMayor #TeamMittens

My loving fans are writing poems about me! lightpoetrymagazine.com/poems-of-the-w… #MittensForMayor #TeamMittens

It’s such a lovely day in #Wellington today, I love curling up in the sun for a quiet snooze. It’s the most beautiful city in the world, and soon I shall rule it with a paw of iron. #MittensForMayor

I have 10 followers on Twitter! I know I’m a cat and I can’t count, but I bet that’s just a HUGE number and is way more than @justin_lester has! I’m just so excited that I need to take a nap RIGHT NOW. #MittensForMayor #Wellington

Not best pleased with @justin_lester ... will be doing my best @RealGrumpyCat (RIP) impersonation all day 😾 #MittensForMayor #Wellington

I’m stunned - simply stunned! - that @justin_lester has denied Wellington the joy of seeing my likeness on the traffic lights. There will be much swishing of tails! #MittensForMayor #Wellington
