This past election season has been litter-ally the worst.

We face candidates who either commit every ism in the book (racism, sexism -- an immense amount of egoism). Or these contenders have buried a considerable amount of secrets from the public. Want to stop viewing the debates through clawed hands pressed against your face? Consider a feline friend who is more lion-hearted than lyin'-hearted.

They will work wonders for foreign policy.

Every time I see a cat, my heart melts. Our nation could use good PR, and a cat similar to the one pictured above could do the trick. However, for those who want to argue cats will diminish our military might, I want you to spend an afternoon with my feline in my backyard. He will return to you bearing grotesque, murdered animals in his mouth. He makes his message clear: do not mess with me. With a cat president, no nation will.

They will mend our checks and balances system.

Certain branches of government have absorbed too much power. If we want to maintain a democracy, we need a four-legged leader who cannot lose a blinking contest. This blogger agrees stating cats will watch each branch carefully. No one wants to break a rule when the teacher has claws.

They will likely be of age to take over the office

According to this website's calculations, my 11-year-old cat fits the age of a 60-year-old human. (That puts him older than 33 of our past presidents) He supersedes the age minimum by 25 years. Granted, he may not technically be a "US citizen." However, D.C. folks pull enough crap that perhaps he can slide by in the race without anyone taking notice of that fact.

They have run for office before.

The cat, Hank, ran for Senate for Virginia in 2012. His campaign raised over $60,000, which his owner donated to animal charities. Even though he passed away unexpectedly in 2014, his time in politics helped many animals in need. Imagine if we had a cat like Hank in the Oval office!
