Incoming New Hampshire state representative Steven Lindsey of Keene has filed a bill to bring a cat to the House of Representatives.
His mantra is "A house cat for the House."
Lindsey tells the Keene Sentinel that the cat — which he envisions as being fixed, shorthaired and having a similarly friendly disposition as his own cat, Mischief — would serve a variety of purposes.
How many lives the bill will have remains to be seen.
