Cat, dog run for mayor in Mexico

Disillusioned with the empty promises of human politicians, people of Mexico are nominating their pets and farm animals to run in July 7 elections being held in 14 states.
Morris, a black-and-white kitten with orange eyes, is running for mayor of Xalapa in eastern Mexico with the campaign slogan "Tired of Voting for Rats? Vote for a Cat." And he is attracting tens of thousands of politician-weary, two-legged supporters on social media.
Also running for mayor are "Chon the Donkey" in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, "Tina the Chicken" in Tepic, the capital of the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, and "Tintan the Dog" in Oaxaca City, though their campaigns are not as well organized as that of Morris.
