Opposite Of J.D. Vance, Tim Walz Is The Ultimate Cat Daddy, And These 15 Tweets Show Why

By now, I'm sure you know Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance faced backlash after comments he made about "childless cat ladies" resurfaced online.

He told Fox News's Tucker Carlson back in 2021 that America is being run by "childless cat ladies, who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too."

He named Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as examples of people who "control" the future of Democrats without having any children at the time.

Obviously, the cat lady community and their furry kids didn't take this very well.

But do you know who else didn't take it well? Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. He told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle recently, "My God, they went after cat people, good luck with that. Turn on the internet and see what cat people do when you go after them."

His apparent passion for this sacred group may have their ears perking up a bit. So here are 15 tweets confirming Gov. Walz is in fact the Cat Daddy he appears to be:

1. Earlier this year he adopted a cat named Honey, and she got the press tour every cat deserves. The camera angles alone were *chef's kiss*.

2. He adopted Honey after his OG cat Afton went missing in 2023.

3. In fact, it's a picture with Afton that has the internet already labeling the governor a Cat Daddy.

4. Sadly, as of December 2023, Afton still hasn't been found. But the mark he left on the governor's mansion was well-documented.

5. Afton was a Swiftie who wasn't afraid to get spicy with Tay Tay during the Ticketmaster debacle when trying to get his Eras Tour tickets.

6.In all fairness, Afton made it up to Ms. Swift in the best way he knew how — giving her her own holiday in Minnesota. Subtle. (I bet Afton negotiated some backstage passes, too.)

7. At the end of the day, Afton was actually super chill. He let the governor's dog Scout take on the chaotic persona behind closed doors. It just seemed like too much work being the "pick-me" of the family.

8. Although, it does appear Honey is open to chaos. She has the governor holding on for DEAR LIFE already.

9. But the governor has made sure his felines share the spotlight. Cat-loving Minnesotans melted over this picture taken during his last campaign.

10.Please don't miss the technique, I beg.

11. And Harris's campaign knows what's up. They are leaning allll the way in to the governor's love and respect for cats.

12. Cat ladies love that the governor has adopted all of his pets, not only cats Afton and Honey, but his dog Scout, too.

13. So a lot of cat ladies (and daddies, respectfully) on the internet are sleeping better at night knowing they have proper representation in November.

14. The rallying cries have already begun. The girls are assembling.

15. In fact, if the whole VP thing doesn't work out, the cat community is willing to find him another calling.
