Can there be any doubt?I disagree totally. I have considered writing an article taking exactly the opposite approach, actually.
Cats are the emotionally secure, thinking person's pet. Therefore, they make good pets for Republicans.
HA! I love my cat. I kiss my cat on the muzzle. I'm voting for 43. Again.
A cat is a born (conservative)Republican. It will survive! It needs no 'pack' to hunt with... it hunts alone and quite efficiently if I may add. It has no qualms about killing its prey.
Emotion is never a factor in this proccess... it is an instinct that lies close beneath a cats behaovioral surface... not embedded within eons of 'cultivated' genetic tampering.
Dogs are Democrats. They expect the traditional hand-out... and are fiercely loyal to the provider. Even the toughest of dogs are no more Republican than John McCain is! Joe Lieberman is a more accurate example of canine behavior.
My dog AND cat are both firmly behind Bush.
Can there be any doubt?My cats would all vote for Badnarik.
"The cat people, I have decided, will go overwhelmingly for Kerry; the dog lovers will do the same for Bush."
This I rather doubt.
I'd say almost all cat-dog (mere pet) animal people tend to Kerry. Because most American pet people believe in "Anything Goes" w/animals, as well as being all for the liberal PETA-type attitudes (heavens you should look at an animal wrong), and that's usually the mindset of the liberal.
This is esp. true of dog people. Dogs more than cats NEED discipline, recognizing the pet's responsibility for itself - a conservative trait - and most people are averse to insisting their dogs behave well w/serious discipline & training (not the namby-pamby feel-good goofy stuff).
So I have a hard time saying dog people are more likely Bushies than cat, or even that any of them would prefer Bush!
Unless some1 does a real study on this.
And I'll say this again, as I'm sure at 300+ posts this has come up -
BOTH ANIMALS ARE GREAT ANIMALS.
(I get sick of dog people sniping on cats and cat people sniping on dogs. Isn't any1 out there versatile enough to love both?)
I like cats and dogs (but cats more!), and I vote Republican.
I'll agree if we're talking large dogs. Small dogs are really just cats in disguise, not really dogs at all. A German Shepard is a dog. A Yorky is really a vacuum attachment for cleaning the drapes.
I have 8 cata and I'm voting for President Bush. One of my cats is named "G.W." too although in the beginning, it was for "Grey & White." B-)
