By Joshua Gardner and Ap Reporter PUBLISHED: 10:02 EST, 18 August 2013 | UPDATED: 14:36 EST, 18 August 2013 In the race for lieutenant governor of Texas, one candidate's supporters have taken inspiration from Buzzfeed by mocking the opposition using a series of cat GIFs. On a website dubbed Dewfeed that is built to look uncannily like the meme-spreading site, Texans for Republican Dan Patrick posted a series of short animated cat images that highlight what they call incumbent lieutenant governor David Dewhurst’s lack of leadership at June’s abortion bill filibuster. With posts like ‘Wendy Davis began her filibuster and Dewhurst began chasing his tail,’ Patrick gets catty in his fight to unseat Dewhurst, who has held the job since 2002.
