dogs alert you to intruders and if big enough protect you from them as well, cats? not so much...

I think this has been posted before but I couldn't find it. Worth a chuckle.
It’s not just pets. We live right behind a wild life/drive through park. On occasion, the wolves and bears get loose and come to our property. When they find they have no free food nor care, they go right back where the livin’ is easy.
They’re democrats, too.
I actually laughed out loud at that.

Cats are all that and more. But they ARE superior to democraps.
It’s hard not to shed a tear when your 18 year old cat dies, whereas democraps of any age............

Love that!
Just love that! One of the funniest descriptions ever. Have you seen the other one that’s similar about giving a cat a bath?
My dog is not a Democrat. She is a Heeler, and was bred to drive livestock. If she doesn’t have a task given to her, then she creates her own work. She is always busy.
How To Give A Cat A Bath:
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have both lids lifted.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for anything they can find. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power wash and rinse” which I found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside where he will dry himself.
But unlike Democrats, he is grateful for it and shows it every time he greets me at the door.
He may think I'm one of the 1%, but he doesn't blame me because he's in the other 99%.
I think when God realized how worthless the cat he had made was, he decided to make them soft, cuddly and cute and gave them the ability to make the most wonderful sound in the world, the purr, so that we would love them and take care of them.
And in the wild, and even at home, cats have a natural tendency to attempt to clean up after they pee or poop by burying their deposits under soil when available, while dogs don't.
BTW, if you wanted to compare the two fairly, you could have used a much cuter dog (maybe a poodle) than a pit bull. No comparison in aesthetics between the two animals you show. By using a pit bull, you play into the stereotype of Republicans as "mean spirited."
Cat Bathing As A Martial Art:
1. Know that although the kitty cat has the advantage of quickness and lack of concern for human life, you have the advantage of strength. Capitalize on that advantage by selecting the battlefield. Don’t try to bathe him in an open area where he can force you to chase him. Pick a very small bathroom. If your bathroom is more than four feet square, we recommend that you get in the tub with the cat and close the sliding-glass doors as if you were about to take a shower. (A simple shower curtain will not do. A berserk cat can shred a three-ply rubber shower curtain quicker than a politician can shift positions.)
2. Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to protect yourself. We recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top construction boots, a pair of steel-mesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face-mask, and a long-sleeved flak jacket.
3. Use the element of surprise. Pick up your cat nonchalantly, as if to simply carry him to his supper dish. (Cats will not usually notice your strange attire. They have little or no interest in fashion as a rule.)
4. Once you are inside the bathroom, speed is essential to survival. In a single liquid motion, shut the bathroom door, step into the tub enclosure, slide the glass door shut, dip the cat in the water and squirt him with shampoo.
5. You have now begun one of the wildest 45 seconds of your life.
6. Cats have no handles. Add the fact that he now has soapy fur, and the problem is radically compounded. Do not expect to hold on to him for more than two or three seconds at a time. When you have him, however, you must remember to give him another squirt of shampoo and rub like crazy. He’ll then spring free and fall back into the water, thereby rinsing himself off. (The national record for cats is three latherings, so don’t expect too much.)
7. Next, the cat must be dried. Novice cat bathers always assume this part will be the most difficult, for humans generally are worn out at this point and the cat is just getting really determined. In fact, the drying is simple compared with what you have just been through. That’s because by now the cat is semi-permanently affixed to your right leg.
8. You simply pop the drain plug with your foot, reach for your towel and wait. (Occasionally, however, the cat will end up clinging to the top of your army helmet. If this happens, the best thing you can do is to shake him loose and to encourage him toward your leg.) After all the water is drained from the tub, it is a simple matter to just reach down and dry the cat.
9. In a few days the cat will relax enough to be removed from your leg. He will usually have nothing to say for about three weeks and will spend a lot of time sitting with his back to you. He might even become psychoceramic and develop the fixed stare of a plaster figurine.
10. You will be tempted to assume he is angry. This isn’t usually the case. As a rule he is simply plotting ways to get through your defenses and injure you for life the next time you decide to give him a bath. But at least now he smells a lot better.
You forgot like your Cat the Dem’s have wicked bad breath....

LOL! Great post :)
And I am willing to bet that if he acts up with a scratch or bite now and then, you will still coddle him!
