Cats are playing an outsized part in this election. I love them but really....first they make us grumpy uninvolved childless voters, then they get eaten in Ohio, now they keep us running frantically back and forth trying to make up our minds when, really, the choice is an easy one. Forward vs backward - just keep going forward with Kamala and forget the stupid laser light!! And Pussies!! Let's not forget the grabbing thereof. /s

Dogs have had their moments as well. Kristi Noem comes to mind. Dogs also got a supporting role in the Springfield drama.

The notion that you can't make up your mind until you step into the voting booth and somehow magically come face to face with your destiny (guided by the booth fairy I suppose) ... is ridiculous and irresponsible of course.

But "cats chasing a laser pointer" is a great image. I've been looking for something like that (mostly to describe how we react to polls IMO) and couldn't think of anything good. So that's something anyway...

It IS a great simile. "From the mouths of innocents".... (well, these people seem uninvolved enough in the bigger world outside themselves to strike me as childlike innocents)
