Scots living outside the country aren’t eligible to vote in the historic independence referendum. Neither are cats. But that doesn’t mean they can’t have opinions.
Russians have a lot of thoughts about Scotland's independence referendum, with pro-Kremlin officials using it as a way to propagandize the independence referendums they have been pushing in parts of Ukraine.
And then there are cats. Russian cats of Scottish heritage have taken to Instagram to share their own opinions and feelings.
"Friends! The referendum on Scotland's independence takes place September 18, 2014. But few know that there are many Scots among us in Russia and they'd also like to have their say! Give your cat the opportunity to support her homeland in the difficult struggle for freedom — support Scotland. Be William Wallace! Freedom! Scotland! #freedomscotland P.S. Don't forget to hashtag and tell your friends"
They're quite vocal on the issue.
"Stepan made his choice! #YesScotland #freedomScotland #VoteYesScotland #voteyes #ScottishnotBritish #independentScotland #Scottishindependence #referendum #catsforfreedom"
As vocal as cats can be, that is.
"In connection with the coming referendum #freedomscotland"
