Talk:Catmando

message: I'm completely unsure about what the hell this article is supposed to be about!
: I think it's fairly clear, and absolutely true... a British registered political party appointed a cat as its co-leader. TSP 10:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Meltingpot... haven't you just described the behaviour of most politicians? Catmando (that is the proper spelling) was a member, and accepted by all OMRLP members as joint-leader, of  an official and properly registered political party, even though Welshsocialist believes the party a joke... perhaps a touch of party-political Conflict of Interest there. No doubt Catmando signed his membership form with a paw-print. Although we could debate his effectiveness as a politician (there are many ineffective politicians), he is no doubt a well-referenced notable animal, among many other notable animals on Wikipedia.

replies: text: Acabashi|Acabashi ineffective politicians at least understand the implications of thier actions (or inactions). What the Monster Raving Loony party thinks is irrelevant to the meaning of the word "politician". I would say him "signed his membership form" by any method is neccercrilly impossible because it implies he understood what he was doing   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.254.25 (talk) 19:55, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: what

message: In the video cited as footnote one Howling Laud Hope makes it quite clear that Catmando is the original and official spelling, therefore should it not be the title of the article? 80.176.135.127 (talk) 18:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A fair point. I think that as he is now known under the misinterpreted spelling, and is searched for by such, it is best to keep it as "Cat Mandu", with the caveat as expressed in the article. After all, in a search Wikipedia always comes up near the top of the list and is a first port of call for most. Acabashi (talk) 14:52, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title of the article 

message: Amazed this survived an AfD.  The content should be merged into the Howling Laud Hope article.  The cat hasn't done anything.  It is only notable for being HLH's cat and through HLH's actions.  Paulbrock (talk) 17:22, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  merge 

message: On the article, it states Catmando was born 1995 and died in 2002, aged 17. For Catmando to die aged 17 in 2002 he'd have to be born in 1985.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xander11012 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Pour thing

message: The article currently gives the impression that Catmando held some sort of official, legally recognized position in the party ("the only cat ever to have been leader of a political party"), when in fact "party leader" is obviously nothing more than an honorary title. The de facto "leader" of an officially registered political party is its chairman or -woman, and Catmando never served in any such position, as I'm pretty sure British law doesn't allow or recognize animals in official positions of trust. This article definitely does not belong in the category "Leaders of political parties in the United Kingdom" alongside the likes of Arthur Scargill or Nick Griffin. To draw a crude analogy: if Boris Johnson - as a joke or whatever - declared his left shoe to be "co-leader of the Conservative Party", would we have an article about the shoe that calls it a "politician" and categorizes it as a "leader of a political party"?
