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.

Well , I never thought this before. But cats as everyone see want to be left independent. Dogs look to you as the leader of their pack.

I guess that’s why I have two cats and no dogs.

I have the opposite view.

Cats provide nothing in return for the love and attention provided by the owner.
Dogs are eternally grateful for the least little attention.
They retrieve, protect, and play.

I always thought of demorists as snakes but after 9/11/2001 I’ve started to think of them as jihadists.

Disagree. Notice how he gets in a few digs like suggesting that Republicans want to pollute the environment.

In reality, the two animals most closely comparable to the political parties are:

the draft horse pulling the plow which is a Republican and

a swarm of locusts which is Democrat.

It’s OK for dogs to throw caution to the wind, live irresponsibly, snap at anything trying to get into your food bowl, multiply like rabbits and screw every b!tch in sight. But people shouldn’t live that way . . . . :)

All of my cats are Republicans, but they’re not very happy with the current crop of Republican leadership.

We are all sheep now. Some more shorn than others, but all sheep.

I think its instinctive in each species...wolves have packs and cats with the exception of lions, are solitary species. Other than wolves canines are solitary also..fox, coyote etc. Which leads me to believe dogs come from wolf and not the other types of canines..

Dogs cannot be democrats. They work.

Ever seen a seeing eye cat?
Eskimo cat sled?
Police cat?
Drug sniffing cat?
cow cat?
watch cat?

I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 17 alpacas, 9 peacocks and 13 hens. They all have jobs to do and they do them. In return they are fed. I would say they are all republicans.
