Are you Feline the Bern? Senator Bernie Sanders is taking the presidential race head on with the support of mostly millennials while cats are something else that seem to be a trend among millennials. People have described both Bernie Sanders and cats as honest, funny, enthusiastic, interesting, caring, passionate, and trustworthy. Hmm, you be the judge -- did I just describe a cat or a 74 year old man wanting to change the country? Here are four things Bernie does that reminded me of my kitty companion.

1. The Time He Summoned A Bird With His Charm

I'm sure you've all seen the viral video of the Bernie Sanders rally in Portland, Oregon where a bird fearlessly flew up to Bernie's podium after he called upon it. Just like a cat does while hunting, Bernie used his charm to get the bird exactly where he wanted. Thankfully unlike a cat, Bernie let the bird serve as a political statement instead of lunch.

2. They're Protective

Since he was in college, Bernie has been fighting for everyone under the sun; whether you're black, white, male, female, Muslim, gay, straight or an animal. Bernie is always fighting to protect you just like your household cat thinks they're fighting to protect you. Cats have been known to warn their owners of burglars, detect carbon monoxide danger, killing dangerous animals, and even keeping abandon babies warm. Oh and I can't forget that they meow nonstop for help when they think the evil water maker, or shower, is killing you. Although, cats aren't fighting for our rights like Bernie, they show they care about humans in a similar way.

3. They're Social Media Sensations

My news feed on Twitter and Facebook are filled with Bernie and cat pictures daily. I would even go as far to say that Bernie wouldn't be where he is in the election if it weren't for social media. Cats have also been on the social media rise because of their goofy actions being posted by their humans. Funny cat videos, gifs, and memes are even being used for good in a campaign to stop smoking. For both Bernie and cats, social media can be beneficial. How can you scroll past a cute fluffy face with out retweeting it? By the way, I was talking about the cat's face not Bernie's.

4. Neither Are Donald Trump

Can I get an amen? Neither cats or Bernie want to build a wall or punish women for getting an abortion. Cats would just climb over the wall anyways, I dare you to try and stop them. Bernie and cats both seem to have a passion for spreading love but aren't afraid to get a little feisty when needed. Trump on the other hand can be a little too feisty all the time. So unless Sir McFluff announces his campaign for presidency soon, I think I'll stick to voting Bernie.
