Everyone has the right...
The Republic of Užupis declared independence from Vilnius and the rest of Lithuania on All Fools' Day, 1989. Their constitution, written in French, Lithuanian and English on a wall in the town, contains a few gems:-
Everyone has the right to make mistakes.
Everyone has the right to be unique.
Everyone has the right be be silent.
Everyone has the right to idle.
Everyone is responsible for their freedom.
Everyone has the right to be of any nationality.
Everyone has the right to love and take care of the cat.
A cat is not obliged to love its owner, but must help in time of need.
A dog has the right to be a dog.
Do not defeat.
Do not fight back.
Do not surrender.
Do not fight back.
Do not surrender.
If only the proposed European Constitution were as wise.

Genius! Does this mean the cat has to go and get a job when money is a bit short? I hope so, the cats have been scrounging long enough!
S.
P.S. Excellent blog by the way! I especially like the spamming agreement.
:S I like cats. What have these people got against cats?
What have the dogs ever done for us? Well alright - they have done some rounding up of sheep. Yeah - maybe they have guarded the houses occasionally. Some of them have saved human lives...oh ok. They are faithful...sure. They are guidedogs for the blind and police dogs and sniffer dogs. OH ALRIGHT.
But besides this "WHAT have the dogs ever done for us?"
