Cats are Republican, Dogs are Democrats
Politico ^ | August 19, 2011 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 08/19/2011 10:51:51 AM PDT by SMGFan

I know it may be upsetting for many of you to discover the animal you cherish is of the opposite political party. Would former President Bill Clinton ever be able to admit to himself that the late Socks was a Republican? Could Democrats ever bring themselves to forgive Checkers, the dog – and a Democrat – who belonged to Richard M. Nixon and whose mention in the famous 1952 “Checkers speech” helped save Nixon’s political career?

When cats are born, they believe they are in a state of liberty, and from then on they are determined to keep it that way. No one tells them what to do. They don’t believe it takes a village, because they know they might have to take instructions from the village idiot in the local government.

“Maybe if I got some Republican peacocks I’d have better luck next time.”

I think you’d need to seek out Royalist peacocks. I don’t think the whole “democracy” thing works with them.

Cats, like butterflies, need no excuse.

I like that!

No she wasn’t. Very weird. I got her when she just just 3 months old, if even. She fit in the palm of my hand. Got her from my sisters friends boyfriend, who got her then moved into an apt that didn’t allow animals (idiots!!!).

She’s always been a skittish one....she’s still “afraid” of me, even after 9 years! She loves to be all over me, on me, near me, but really doesn’t like to be touched.

The only way I can ever get a kiss in is if I hold her down to do it....then she runs away, lol. I call her name and she comes running back.

I’m meant to get the “odd ones”.....that is my lot in life. But I don’t care because I LOVE them and I know, in their own way, they LOVE me!

“Cats provide nothing in return for the love and attention provided “

Not true at all.All of my kitties have always provided much love and affection for what they were given.

"Cats are Democrats, absolutely worthless."

Total bs. Mary my huntress, strictly indoors, took care of every mouse, insect, bug, moth, etc that gets into my place.

If someone is outside, I am alerted immediately by her reaction.

She may be a freak but she's one heck of a guard cat.

LOL! That’s a great addition to this thread, the view from the other side I take it. Very good and amusing.

This sounds a lot like my cat - who is feral. Tiny, too, and I am told the smaller the cat, the less intelligent (sorry cats!) My cat hates the sound of human voices and will not sit on my lap if I even dare say one word. She’s very weird but she’s mine so what can I do?

P.S. You might want to save that locally. ICHC has been known to delete material critical of The Won.

I consider Democrats as lemmings hurling themselves over the cliff in droves.
