Maybe it is because the Clintons dumped their cat Socks when Bill left the White House that Democrat cats (I resist the strong urge to call them "Democats") are turning out for Barack Obama. A number of felines have demonstrated their support on the
Cats for Obama website, often by sitting on a poster or T-shirt, which obviously means they approve of the Illinois senator's strong voting record on animal rights rather than thinking it's a comfy place to take a rest. Why so many cats are coming out in favour of Obama is puzzling pollsters because, known for being selfish and superior, if ever there was a Republican animal, cats would be it.
