I think these tweets about Buddy, aka the fabulous feline behind Andrew Little, may just be the highlight of my day #behindeverygreatman

Is facebook down, Technology always lets you down when you have a breaking cat story. #BuddytheCat
Breaking; Little loses Gareth Morgan vote.
Cmon Labour. Unity, not cat fights. #noyoushutup
Little announces Cat Gains Tax; speculators forced to pay 15% of gains in jellymeat.
Jordan McCluskey @prinnbanktce
Grant Robertson is going to need a Sloth and a Pug to top Buddy the cat. Real talk.
People who are more interested in the cat. #firstagainstthewall

Will the unions follow Buddy the cat? Where does he stand on the TPPA? 90 day trials? Climate change? *meows, paws gently at you*
Turns out the hand guiding @nzlabour back to the middle is actually Buddy, the cat who owns @AndrewLittleMP
@JamesIrelandNZ @bryce_edwards @nzlabour @AndrewLittleMP He's clearly directing this photo shoot.

@AnnaHazelBarham @bryce_edwards @nzlabour @AndrewLittleMP That's one talented cat. I wouldn't want to get on his bad side.

All that nervous angsty energy on Labour Party made conditions ripe for an unashamedly progressive cat. #BuddyTheCat

Jordan McCluskey @prinnbanktce
Little will make Buddy Catliffe his finance spokescat if he wins I hope.
.@AndrewLittleMP extra points: cat. Minus points: "Buddy".

Labour: "Ha! How do you like THEM diversities!"
Buddy opens 45 point lead on Moonbeam.
I'm not even a member but that cat is making me think approving thoughts about @AndrewLittleMP #dontgetdistracted
Andrew Little has opened up a huge early lead over his rivals in the use of domestic animals category.
@toby_etc Support from Gareth Morgan is unlikely.
Jordan McCluskey @prinnbanktce
Little very cleverly appealing to the Web 2.0 cat lovers out there. Very niche. Such kitty. Wow.
Andrew Little's hand is guided by shadowy forces #letsgonegativeonthisevidentlyamazingcat
The Andrew's Black Cat faction of Labour.
@AndrewLittleMP seriously beginning to question whether you're a front person for that evidently amazing cat.
Can a cat owner win back Waitakere Man? #andrewlittle
Moonbeam Key @MoonbeamJohnKey
@AndrewLittleMP Your cat is gay

I Heart Andrew Little's Cat Buddy!
A bit difficult getting good photos when Buddy is demanding attention.
@anguswow @philiplyth I checked the rules. There is nothing requiring tethering of attention-seeking household pets during media interviews
Luke Christensen @lukechristensen
Andrew Little making a play for the cat lovers vote on @ONENewsNZ. Risks alienating powerful dog faction though.
Damian Christie @damianchristie
Andrew Little has David Cunliffe at his side.
