Talking Animals Lean Toward Egalitarianism

“What exactly did he say?”

“That he was going to issue a royal proclamation later today.”

“That's what he said? A royal proclamation?”

“He said he was a king and he had something important to say.”

“Did he say that he's always been a king, or did he suddenly become a king?”

“I took it to mean he just became a king, like the former king died or something.”

“And that happened this morning?”

“Apparently.”

“And he hasn't said anything since then?”

“No. He's just been sitting here.”

“And you dressed him up.”

“Yeah, and I made the throne too.”

“Tell me the exact words he said. Word for word.”

“Well, I didn't write it down. Also, he was a little hard to understand. It sounded a lot like a long meow, but he definitely said something.”

“You know, we could just find a talking cat. There's plenty around, you can have actual conversations with them, and maybe some even have hereditary titles, who knows.”

“But it would be harder to manipulate them into repressing the lower classes.”
