Where Tub Cat comes from voting is compulsory. Tub Cat is forced to vote, but does so willingly.
What unwashed human or well washed cat wouldn't want to vote on who has the right to lead the country in which the Cat in a Tub resides? Tub Cat does not make this decision lightly. Politicians are often evil snakes. And snakes are bad. And Tub Cat needs to identify the least snake like politician who is likely to lead his country in the correct direction.
Tub Cat despises snakes. Why have you made him think of these evil creatures?
