I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.
