Everyone is dealing with Donald Trump’s election and upcoming inauguration in their own ways.
Many lowly humans squatting in the president-elect’s native habitat — Twitter — are taking to posting pictures of their cats and describing their floofy and aloof feline plans for Friday, when the bombastic businessman is officially sworn in as leader of the free world. (Gulp.)
