Miss Sassy Pants, a missing cat in Springfield, was found safe, debunking rumors by JD Vance she had been eaten by Haitian immigrants

Miss Sassy is a Maine Coon from Springfield, Ohio, reported missing by her owner Anna Kilgore. Turns out though, even after rumor-spreading by JD Vance she was found alive and well in her owner's basement. Mrs Kilgore has since apologized to her Haitian neighbors and posted on Facebook. No such apology from JD Vance, however.

JD Vance’s insinuation that pets are being swiped and eaten by Haitian immigrants has hit yet another embarrassing snag.

Vance’s campaign, responding to scrutiny over the hoax, shared a police report with the Wall Street Journal this week that detailed a Springfield, Ohio, resident’s claim that her cat mysteriously vanished in August. Vance’s team suggested the report was proof there was reason to fear that pets in Springfield might actually be in danger.

1. We need to rekindle the rumor about Vance,

Yesterday Sophie the Sofa was reporting missing. Last seen with JD Vance...

4. Stephen Colbert had some great jokes about that one

in his September 17 monolog. He called Vance a "lazy boy." 😂

2. Yeah who calls the police about a missing cat?

I'd post to my community pages on FB and call nearby shelters, but not the cops.

6. It was worse than just calling the cops

She told the police that her next-door Haitian neighbor had eaten Miss Sassy Pants. And while she did apologize to her neighbor when the cat turned up 5 days later, she still told the Wall Street Journal reporter she would still be voting for Trump.

7. I feel sorry for Miss Sassy Pants having that

disgusting person as an owner.

3. TY!

5. The score is: Kittehs 1; JD Vance 0

8. The cat was in her BASEMENT? For FIVE DAYS?

She didn't check her own house, but FILED A POLICE REPORT and accused her neighbor?

She sounds like a piece of work. Hopefully she has dementia so there's some excuse.

Miss Sassy needs rehoming.
