CHICAGO — If anyone knows how to properly mock 2016 presidential hopeful Donald Trump, it's Chicagoans.

Residents didn't take kindly to his name plastered across his Downtown high-rise, and now they're jumping on board the newest Trump-focused bandwagon: #TrumpYourCat.

In the fad, owners brush their cat, form the excess hair into a clumpy toupee and place it on their cat's head in a similar fashion as the businessman's buoyant hair.

Check out some Chicago-based Trump cats below:
