All black cats look alike
This story came up on a US site, and I was even more amused when I realised just who had tweeted it - Clarke Gayford, the partner of our new prime minister, Jacinda Arden (about whom I am very excited).
The story of the mistaken cat
It's worth looking at a few others of his tweets. My favourites:
His response to the account set up in their cat Paddles' name
Paddles' response to the media mobbing their house
Swearing-in day - 'lady' for Labour?
The kea, bird of the year - YES! I absolutely loathe our people being labelled - and labelling themselves - as a stupid, shy, nocturnal bird that can't fly. If people can't handle the four syllables of New Zealander (the same number as in "American" or "Italian" - c'mon!) than let's go with kea. They have personality.
