I was just watching a short video of a cat and the family viewing the Trump-Harris debate on TV. Trump was talking about "they're eating dogs, and they're eating cats."
By the time Trump got to the cats, this cat was growling and hissing. When Trump said "cats," the cat launched itself into the TV, and the woman laughed.
In another video, a golden retriever was watching a Star Wars movie. When Darth Vader came onscreen, the dog jumped up, ran around the chair and peeked back around it. The dog recognized the menace of Vader.
In yet another video, a dog was watching "The Lion King", and Mufasa was about to die. When it happened, the panicked pug jumped up and ran to get his sister. He didn't want to be alone at this stressful time.
