The Washington Animal League has partnered with Animal Planet to bring this live kitten cam to promote the channel's premiere of the show "Too Cute." Today's video from the shelter showcases kittens playing on a cardboard model of the People's House. It's just one more piece of evidence showing cats' ever-growing influence in politics.
