Who Needs A Human President When There Are Dogs And Cats?

Two animal rescues in North Carolina are setting out to rescue all of us from the insanity of human politics - and it's pawsitively adorable.

Forgotten Felines of Forsyth is an NPO in Winston-Salem, NC that runs a Trap-Neuter-Return program for feral cats. They have joined forces with another Winston-Salem based organization, Stepping Stones Canine Rescue, to hold a mock election: Pet President.

They each have put forth a candidate: DemoCAT William...

So daper!

...and RePUPlican Ribbons...

...who can tell you're definitely saying "aaawww", even though she's completely deaf (aaawww)!

DemoCAT William is said to be so clever that old dogs come to him to learn new tricks, and he's running on a platform to make universal vet care accessible to all cats. His slogan is "Let's FIX This Nation".

Gotta fix and feed those patriots!

RePUPlican Ribbons was abandoned at a shelter in Nash County, NC as a puppy, and runs on a platform of shelter reform. Her slogan is "Let's Make Adoption Great Again".

Gotta kiss those babies!

Ribbons even has a Trump wig!

And a supporter sporting a signature red hat!

But just because they're super cute doesn't mean that they're not super ruthless....

Ribbons' campaign released a smear ad last week attacking William's stamina and commitment...

Although, something tells me those nice people didn't really mind being trapped inside their house.

"Hey boss, I'm not gonna make it in today. Why not? Umm.....well, there's this cat....Great! I knew you'd understand."

But Ribbons had a rather ruff weekend after William's campaign capitalized on some of Ribbons' personal indiscretions...

In a statement, Ribbons says she never heard anyone tell her "no".

Oh DemoCATS and RePUPlicans, what did we do to deserve you? Best of luck William and Ribbons!
