The president, who raises the two cats “Think Think” and “Ah Tsai,” is involved in a campaign to win a second and final term in elections scheduled for January 11, 2020.
Tsai joined a legislative candidate, a veterinarian and the chairwoman of a cat lovers’ association in discussing her experiences with the pets live online, the Central News Agency reported.
The event however led to false accusations that she had taken a cat to the veterinarian surrounded by a hundred supporters. Her campaign immediately demanded the removal of the story, but in the end, it was the “CrazyCat club” Facebook group which disappeared off the Internet.
