BREAKING NEWS: Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves Actually Uses the Litter Box
RICHMOND, Virginia (Cat News Network) -- The Cat News Network (CNN) has just received breaking news that Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III (D-VA) has actually used the litterbox instead of taking a whizz on the floor. Sources close to the Senator told CNN "Dang...I've lived here since December and I ain't never seen Henry use the litter box. He usually just let's 'er rip wherever he is and mommy hasta come clean it up. Dang...this has me a little spooked! Maybe the world is gonna end...I'm skeerd!"
Local papparrazzi caught Graves in the litter box around 3:45 pm. Upon realizing he was being photographed, the Senator high-tailed it out of the box as fast as he could.
Graves has a long history of battling his mommy regarding litterbox issues. Stating that he prefers to "do my thinkin' outsida the box", Graves has found very creative avenues to express himself: mommy's pillow, mommy's clothes, the water bowl, the bottom of the stairs, smack-dab in front of the door, etc. Today's development in the bathroom habits of the Senator could signal a change in his policy and possibly a switch in parties. CNN will keep you up to date on these rapidly changing events as we receive new information. Stay tuned for more breaking news.
Wow! Glad somebody got a photo for posterity! I bet Momma's wicked happy.

Yay for the Senator! I hope this does signal a change of habits for him. Hopefully, the flashy box didn't scare him so much that he never sets paw in the litterbox again.

Whoo hoo Senator! I hope this is the beginning of many litterbox trips for you. Just remember, being a senator and all, keep those paws INSIDE your own stall, I mean, box...
