It’s Monday again, and I hope everyone had a good weekend. It was wicked hot in Chicago—in the nineties—but otherwise clear and sunny. The big news, which comes from Dobrzyn, is that Hili is throwing her metaphorical hat in the ring. Today’s dialogue, in fact, is so important that it has a title: “Out of a Sense of Responsibility”:
A: What are you thinking about?Hili: I’m considering running in the next presidential election.
In Polish:
Ja: Nad czym się zastanawiasz?
Hili: Nad startem w następnych wyborach prezydenckich.
Although Hili is far superior to any Republican candidate in the U.S., Malgorzata explained to me that Hili is referring to the Polish presidency:
As conceited as she is, she doesn’t have any ambition to become a president of U.S. And she is a smart cat – she knows that as a mammal born in Dobrzyn (and not on the U.S. soil) she cannot run for your president 🙂 The only slight problem is that the next presidential election in Poland is in five years time.

Meanwile, Leon continues his hiking adventures in the Polish mountains:
Leon: I will presently make plans for today’s expedition.
Marvellous photo of Hili!
Running for president. Navigating with maps.
There is nothing Cats cannot do.
My hunch is that Hili is dreaming of refurbishing the presidential palace with soft cushions and sprawl-worthy sofas. The presidential kitchen will have some new recipes. Not sure visiting heads of state will go for banquets featuring braised mouse a la Dobrzyn.
Hili will need to learn to talk like Trump

Trump would be better off learning to talk like Hili.
Well, she’s got my vote.
