They voted for the cat.

And so will I.

Nonsense. Larry is a cat taken in when David Cameron is the Prime Minister, and after 5 of them got kicked out of the Cabinet Office, the Chief Mouser Larry is still there serving in the office. Larry doesn’t care who’s the premier are, Larry is just there, ready to lead in the time of political crisis.

Maybe she needs to tell her step kids, “when I’m in the White House, we’ll get a cat” like the way the Obamas got Bo. The kids won’t be there full time, but the cat could. And there’s plenty of staff to help care for it.

Edit: Make that “some cats” and “care for them.” Plenty of room and sofas, lots of bonded pairs of adult cats in shelters.

Tsai Ing-wen (Chinese: 蔡英文; born 31 August 1956) is a Taiwanese politician who served as the 7th president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) from 2016 to 2024, and was the first woman to hold that position.[1] A member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), she intermittently served as chair of the DPP from 2008 to 2012, 2014 to 2018, and 2020 to 2022.[2]

Tsai is unmarried and has no children, making her Taiwan’s first unmarried president.

Tsai is known to be a cat lover, and her two cats, “Think Think” and “Ah Tsai”, featured prominently in her election campaign.[230] In October 2016, she adopted three retired guide dogs, named Bella, Bunny, and Maru.[231][232]

1a. According to WP, the DPP got 51 of the 113 seats, but the KMT won 52 seats—only 1 more—and TPP won 8 seats, making them “king-makers.” The DPP however won a plurality of the popular votes.

Also according to WP, she seem to have also won more than 45% in 2012, and majorities in 2016 and 2020.

Funding allegations

In November 2019, Wang Liqiang, a self-proclaimed spy from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) who defected to Australia, claimed, among other allegations, that CTV had received PRC funding in return for airing stories unfavorable of the ROC government on Taiwan.[2]

CTV’s parent company, The Want Want China Times Group, denied these allegations.[2] The veracity of his claims has also been disputed by espionage experts, who suggested that his claims were made out of opportunism.[3][4]

Angela Merkel is childless I believe. She is also afraid of dogs, so more than likely a cat person. Does she count?
