A cat weighs in on the election

August 19, 2016 • 10:00 am

The only reason I’m violating my principle to avoid personal attacks on Presidential candidates is because a.) this is a cat, and b.) it’s funny without being ad hominem.

Today’s a busy day for me, and there may be only one substantive post. It will be on the burkini ban in France.

  1. There is more reason to hate Dick Cheney, but maybe the cat is too young to know about the Bush admin.

      1. Chrissakes, Jerry, some procedures — vivisection, exposure to Nixon cabinet members — constitute animal cruelty per se.

    1. According to the Simpsons it’s a d*g, so maybe the cat is not mistaken but recognize the real thing.

  2. It’s a funny video, but in all seriousness I suspect the cat was just losing patience with being repeatedly assaulted with a cell phone screen while trying to relax. The result might have been the same with any pictures on the screen presented in any order.

      1. I maintain that the other cat hypothesis has more evidence to support it and makes fewer assumptions. I assert that the Resemblance that Trump’s hair has to a scruffy ginger tom is irrefutable. Cats are known to have territorial disputes with other cats and these are well documented. I am not aware of any documented evidence of cats having territorial disputes with electronic devices.

      1. This was meant to be a response to Dr I. Needtob Athe’s comment above. If someone kept poking a phone in my face, I’d swat it no matter what the picture was.

  3. Or it could be that the cat just recognizes an obnoxious jerk even when she sees a picture of one and just feels the impulsive need to slash at it and run away. Amusing anyhow!

  4. Erin, Thought you might need a laugh! Love, Clay
