I was appalled and delighted this Christmas when under my mother’s Christmas tree her deranged cat was tearing apart a stuffed Hillary Clinton toy. What a cathartic cure for disenfranchised voters! Fat Cat Inc. has a package of the country’s most loved and/or hated leaders into a [cat nip bundle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lynx-with-catnip). Watch and laugh for hours as Fluffy tears George W. Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Hillary Clinton limb from limb.

Stuffed with eco-friendly, organic (for cat people who still have John Kerry bumper stickers on their SUVs) legalized herbal catnip (for pet owners who can’t wait for all that hemp rope), your [cat will undoubtedly love these toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerble-wicked-ball-m3). Details on the characters include bright red cowboy boots on George Bush and a short leash tucked into Hillary’s fanny pack.
