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

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.

He forgot cats carry concealed weapons without a ccw. Even the ones that aren’t from Alaska or Vermont.

Cats expect to be left alone until it's time to be let in & fed, yet offer nothing in return.

when was the last time anyone said 'that guy works like a cat'?

“Cats provide nothing in return for the love and attention provided by the owner.”

Oh, yes they do. Love & affection back for starters, & I also get little birdies, mice & voles!

More baloney.

Democrats are just as their logo says. Jackasses.

Dogs and cats? If they’re civilized they’re Republicans. If they’re society threatening animals. Democrats.

And I have the opposite view of that: my cats provide as much in return as and sometimes more than any of my dogs did. You have to pick/develop the right cat. I also have less maintenance for the cats. I simply pull the thick mill bag I put the cat box in inside out over the used litter and use a new bag and pour fresh litter. No letting them out on cold mornings, pushing them out the door when it’s raining, walking them or scooping the various piles all over. An occasional hairball is the worst I have to contend with and they keep the rodents and bugs out. As far as being republicans, they are very smart, discriminating in terms of people who are right and those who are not, they are self-sufficient and not overly dependent on you for much. My cats understand my wife and I completely, my dogs never quite got to that point.

Amusing analogy but absolutely no basis of fact in the real world.

I might also add that my cats do not lick their arses and then expect me to let them lick my face.

You must not know cats too well. The ones I’ve been around are appreciative, some even play fetch.

Well if you really think about the Liberal Philosophy and its ultimate end game,

A liberal’s goal is to be BO the dog.

Dogs are conservatives.
Cats are libertarians.
Rats are liberals.

Great!

I make 6 substantive political posts and receive little or no comment.

I make 1 pro-dog post and get swarmed by cat lovers.....

But cats as everyone see want to be non-working freeloaders.

Cats are welfare recipients.

Cats are democrats.

If my house cat is a Republican, would that make the feral tortie who has taken up residence in my back yard a Libertarian?

Dogs are wolves on welfare.

uh huh..cats lay around all day and expect to be fed and cleaned up after.
Dogs do their business in the yard, perform a job like scaring intruders and catching frisbees and give unconditional loyalty to those that give him a home and as long as you keep a toilet seat up, you don’t have to worry if their water dish is dry.
Cats get pissed and shit on your stuff and scratch up your furniture when you don’t give them what they want.

Cats sound more like democrats to me.
