When Soba runs for office...
... this will be her campaign poster:

Republicat or Democat? No.... definitely Dictatorcat!
(I did not even know she had a black Dictator's Scarf. Who knew!)

Have a great and furry weekend! ("I am Sobakowa and I approve this message.")

Ooo! Does the puppy have a name yet?
Posted by: Terri at May 9, 2008 09:52 AM
I'd vote for her!
All the photos are wonderful!
Posted by: patricia at May 9, 2008 09:53 AM
I love the dictatorcat. That is truly awesome.
Posted by: Jennifer at May 9, 2008 09:58 AM
Laurie,
You take such great pictures!
All your cats are beautiful - - thanks for sharing!

You never let us down.
From me and my kitties..........Happy Mother's Day!!!!
Posted by: Shari from Ohio at May 9, 2008 10:23 AM
Awesome!!!
Posted by: Liz at May 9, 2008 10:23 AM
Eeeek!!
I'm scared!
I better go see if I can join the Resistance to fight the tyrrany.
Posted by: ErinLindsey at May 9, 2008 10:27 AM
I join the group afraid of that cat! I have enjoyed the cat pictures this week. I have one I'm a little afraid of, too.
Posted by: rosetta at May 9, 2008 10:30 AM
wow, good work with this poster. and soba the dictatorcat rocks. as well as frankie the starlet and bob the driver!
Posted by: anna at May 9, 2008 10:48 AM
you crack me up!!!
Posted by: Terese at May 9, 2008 11:03 AM
I love that little tortie face!!!
Posted by: Leeny at May 9, 2008 11:11 AM
Can we vote for her this november? Please??
Posted by: Justin at May 9, 2008 11:28 AM
Why vote for her in November when we can submit to her indomitable will RIGHT NOW?
Posted by: Lo at May 9, 2008 11:42 AM
I bow to the dictatorcat! All hail Sobakowa!
Posted by: heidi at May 9, 2008 11:55 AM
What a wonderful poster! If HRC is the nominee I plan to write in Sobakowa - heck, she might be my first choice anyhow :)
Posted by: Leslie in Mass at May 9, 2008 12:17 PM
I, for one, bow down before our new overlord, Dictator Soba.
Posted by: Shea at May 9, 2008 12:28 PM
We are your minions, Madame Dictator! Direct us to do your will! (and please don't eat me)
Posted by: Jo at May 9, 2008 12:29 PM
I'm shaking in my boots already! That is not a cat to mess with.
Posted by: Thea at May 9, 2008 12:58 PM
Intimidating, that's what she is! Beautiful, but intimidating.
Posted by: nifer at May 9, 2008 01:00 PM
All the kitty portraits are wonderful and beautiful, but Soba's has me quaking in my boots!!! Have a great weekend!
Posted by: aileen at May 9, 2008 01:13 PM
All hail Chairman Soba!
Posted by: suetreiber at May 9, 2008 01:17 PM
I have a feeling that Soba would get serious help from Los Gatos, as the evil cat syndicate living in my house is known, mostly by Interpol and other law enforcement organizations.
Posted by: Tracy Lynn at May 9, 2008 01:31 PM
The black scarf gives Empress Soba that extra "je ne sais quoi!"
Posted by: Andree at May 9, 2008 01:32 PM
Wow, what a collection of fabulous and amazing cats you share your space with!
Especially amazing is the previously unknown trivia involving the loss of all of Soba's 4th toes. She only has three toes on each foot! Now all of her dictatorial tendencies make sense as she tries to prove that she is no less of a kitty with all those missing toes.
;)
Posted by: DeAnna at May 9, 2008 01:40 PM
Love it!
She does have that "I'm a cat of vision" look to her alright, uninterested in worldly pursuits...
Posted by: Denise at May 9, 2008 01:43 PM
Awesome! Perfect! Us Sobakowians have been waiting patiently. Now I have wallpaper for my work computer.
Posted by: Jo Ann at May 9, 2008 01:55 PM
Do you think the great Sobakowa can outdance Rain? (a stupid Stephen Colbert reference) (Explanation is for everyone who watches real news instead of fake news like me)
RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend, sweetie!
Posted by: Liz R at May 9, 2008 01:59 PM
we should write Soba in for president... *grin*
On a unrelated note, at least unrelated to this post, I experienced the crazy angry people syndrome today first hand. While waiting for my daughter's Elementary school to let out today, two parents got in a screaming match because one of them didn't wait their turn at the four-way stop sign just before the school. The guy right behind me got out of his car and threatened the guy behind him because he blew his horn at the first guy for not stopping at the stop sign. I thought he was going to go punch the guy through his window. Then the non-stopping guy's wife (complete with cigarette hanging out of her mouth and house slippers on her feet got out of the car and headed for the school, screaming back "Danny get the f^(& back in the car! Get your F^C&*#! @$$ back in the car!" So charming.

Viva La Sobakowa
Posted by: Scrapper at May 9, 2008 02:40 PM
So her election strategy is SCARING the superdelegates? Hmmm.
Posted by: rb at May 9, 2008 02:44 PM
I pledge allegiance to the great Soba, sans manifesto!!
Should you ever visit London we, the washed, seek permission to put THIS photo of our omnipotent kitty-leader upon our breasts via t-shirts, and take to the streets (or more particularly, our local hostleries, of which there are many) and partake of the crushed grape in reverence to THE CHOSEN ONE!
Posted by: knitty nora the pseudonym at May 9, 2008 02:55 PM
Oh my god. I've never commented before, but that is absolutely the greatest cat picture I've ever seen!
Posted by: Jenny T. at May 9, 2008 03:13 PM
There can be only one!
Posted by: trashalou at May 9, 2008 03:46 PM
That is so much better than the constant campaign ads on tv all the time right now.
Soba for Senate. Vote for me or I'll poop in your shoes!
Posted by: Lauren at May 9, 2008 03:52 PM
SOBAKOWA for dictator!!!
do we get to vote on that? or will there be a coup?
Posted by: Sally at May 9, 2008 04:27 PM
Election? Sobakowa don't need no stinking election! All hail the great leader!
Posted by: Julie at May 9, 2008 04:28 PM
All cats are Dictatorcats - some just hide it better!
Posted by: Dave the Brit at May 9, 2008 04:59 PM
I think we now know why none of the front runners in the Presidential election have selected a running mate. They realize the futility of the whole process once Sobakowa enters the ring.
Posted by: Amy at May 9, 2008 06:18 PM
The Great and Mighty Soba! Able to silence the opposition with a steely stare! Able to leap the tallest scratching post with a single bound!! Able to hoard toys with a single claw! (Her spokesperson warns in a menacing voice with a heavy and strange accent) "Eef chu don voat fahr Sobakawa, shee keel chu een yor sleeep, Bbbwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Posted by: AlliMack at May 9, 2008 10:04 PM
Oh- a DiCATor.
Posted by: Lily at May 9, 2008 10:39 PM
Very cool. Reminds me of this:

which I think you'd appreciate!
Posted by: Allie at May 10, 2008 02:41 AM
This is the funniest one so far-but all the pictures were great! Love all your cat photography. :)
Posted by: Lesli at May 10, 2008 06:31 AM
Magnificient Sobakowa !!! all three are gorgeous kitties !!!
That is the antidote for the angry/grumpy/scary people syndrome - more kitties !!!
It is a little hard to kill each other when you are holding a purring kitty-cat!!!
That would be a great platform for her to run on - a kitty in every household !!! (LOL)
A great weekend to you too !!!
Posted by: Jena at May 10, 2008 06:44 AM
P.S.
and of course a furry weekend too!
Posted by: Jena at May 10, 2008 06:46 AM
shall we sic Soba the Killer Cat on the lame-o comment spam above????
Posted by: AlliMack at May 10, 2008 02:32 PM
Sobama '08
Posted by: Michelle at May 10, 2008 07:58 PM
An intriguing blend of Japanese and Stalinist iconography.
Not that I have a clue but it sounded good, right?

You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.
Posted by: Maureen at May 10, 2008 10:05 PM
very funny :-)
Posted by: knitting nix at May 11, 2008 06:57 AM
I love the way the top of Sobakowa's forehead glows with sunlight, as if she (and her plan to rule the universe, or at least Encino-adjacent) has been anointed from on high. Dictatorcat abolishes voting rights everywhere -- it's a Sobatocracy!
Posted by: Ann Rose at May 11, 2008 09:43 AM
Hey, here is a thought... Have you tried the online thing called Second Life? You could create a Crazy Aunt Pearl Island and we could all visit you there!! Check it out! http://secondlife.com/
Posted by: Dale at May 11, 2008 04:17 PM
Hmmm - she really needs a black beret to finish things off.
And maybe a bandolero, with tiny little dead mice in each of the compartments....
Hope one of the points in her Manifesto is "Death to All Drug Spammers!!".
Posted by: boomette at May 11, 2008 05:39 PM
I'm loving the pictures of the furry ones. :-D
Posted by: Nette at May 11, 2008 10:58 PM
Fantastic. Staring into the future, paws firmly sent in the present and scarf artfully draped. I LOVE Lauren's (May 9 3:52pm) campaign slogan...'vote for me or I'll poop in your shoes'. tee hee hee.
Posted by: cecelia at May 12, 2008 09:26 AM
I would buy a calendar with pictures of your cats (and captions) too!
Posted by: julie at May 13, 2008 05:39 AM
