Polticians can seldom go wrong with cats, but it appears Prime Minister Harper comes honestly by his adoption of a family pet. The Harper family’s new cat has been named Stanley. The flash was sent out today on the Harper Facebook page (where else) after an online oll was held to choose a name for the tabby kitten. “Thank you to those who voted,” the site says. “Stanley was adopted from the Ottawa Humane Society. We encourage everyone to adopt their animals from the many wonderful animal shelters across the country.” Here are the names offered up for the cat. Stanley garnered more than 4,400 votes, beating out Smokie, Gandalf, Griffin, Earl Grey and Vingt-Quatre (24 in French). Harper is a well-known cat lover.
