Frances, First Cat of Kansas

I'm sad to share that Frances, the First Cat of KS, was laid to rest today. She lived a long, adventurous life & greeted Cedar Crest visitors with pride & demand for affection. Although all good things come to an end, she no doubt left a big paw print as the First Cat of Kansas.

Petstituents, remind your purrrents that today is National Pet Day. Celebrate accordingly with lots of pets and treats.

It's Women's History Month! I'm celebrating all the ameowzing Kansas women — myself and mom @LauraKellyKS included.

Today is #NationalLoveYourPetDay! Aka, another day to celebrate me. 👑

Kisses for my petstituents on this fine Valentine's Day!

It's a purrrfect Super Bowl Sunday for the @Chiefs to 3-peat, and my feline instincts are telling me that they're going to pounce on the Eagles.

All this snow and cold weather calls for a good cat nap. Don't fur-get to stay warm petstituents!

The post I know you all were waiting for...my annual holiday card reveal! Wishing all my petstituents a purrrfect holiday season.

Thanksgiving plans: keep laying on this couch until I fall into a food coma. 🦃

I'm helping mom with this puzzle — all in a day's work.

Another Election Day spent wondering when cats' voices will be heard. In the meantime, I'm busy telling hoomans to make sure to get to the polls.

I'm having a spook-tacular Halloween. Just remember Kansans, the biggest jump scare this year? Not voting. 👻

National Cat Day, you say? Sounds like the purrrfect time to celebrate me!

Two of my favorite things: golden hour, and this rock.

Telling my petstituents and Kansans to register to vote right meow!

Hey @KansasStateFair, do you have a Best Cat Award? 🥇

The painters may have invaded Cedar Crest for a touch-up, but I wasn't about to let their tarps claim my territory.

In ferocious protector of Cedar Crest mode.

Hello, @DemGovs. You didn’t think you could get @LauraKellyKS to go to @DemConvention without me, did you?

Happy #dogust to my governing partner, Hutch. @LtGovToland, thanks for picking the finest petstituent to serve with me, and please remind him he's needed at Cedar Crest to secure the perimeter so I can take another nap.
