Someone Created The Hashtag #CatsNotAtPollingStations Because Cats Felt Left Out On NZ Election Day

Sun's out, tongues out.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a polling station in possession of an election, must be in want of a good doggo.

Frankie enjoyed the queues at the polling booth #newfriends #DogsAtPollingStations @radionz

Around three million New Zealanders headed to the polls for their national election on Saturday, and THANK GOD they brought their pets with them.

Loki wanted to do his part for the #DogsAtPollingStations hashtag 🇳🇿🐾✌️

I mean, how cute is this little guy!

Rosie has exercised her franchise. #DogsAtPollingStations #Election2017

And this good boy Jupiter, who just loves democracy!

Jupiter has a brain the size of a planet and loves democracy and small children. #DogsAtPollingStations

This guy is voting for an unlimited supply of treats!

#TedtheMalshi is not happy with any party. Where is the policy to ensure him an unlimited supply of treats?… https://t.co/S4I8iwaU2e

It's dogmocracy!

Who called it #DogsAtPollingStations and not #dogmocracy

But someone told cats they were missing out on all this election day fun, and frankly they weren't happy about it.

Off to vote! Maverick is a bit miffed he's not coming with me @katenewtonnz #catsnotatpollingstations

So someone created the hashtag #catsnotatpollingbooths to share their feline friends' fomo.

Some people decided to leave their mark on the polling booth, in homage to their cats stuck at home.
