I Think My Cat is a Republican.
by commonmass


My cat is watching me write this, and frankly, I don't care what he thinks so watch away, my feline friend, because I think you're a Republican and I'm going to out you.



Fig. 1. Geoffrey the Cat reaps the benefit of my hard work disproportionally to his contribution while sleeping on my work-pants.

Fig. 2. After consuming his food with an attitude of smug entitlement, he sends a message to the 99%.

2. My Cat is a Racist.

Geoffrey is an unapologetic racist. Like the GOP with banksters and corporate types, he cozies up to people, even new people, because they keep the slush fund of food, water, litter and catnip flowing like the Mighty Mississippi. But as far as other animals are concerned, if you're another animal and you're not a ragdoll cat like he is, he'll deliver an angry screed and may attack you. I have never seen such rank racism, or at least not since the last time Rand Paul gave a speech.

3. My Cat is a Sadistic Authoritarian.

Geoffrey believes in the death penalty for vermin, but he's not content to use some supposedly humane form of execution, oh no. He is both a practitioner and advocate of torture of the most ugly sort and expects--no, demands approval and support for that by bringing these poor creatures into the house half dead. If he were a member of Congress, he'd perform an execution live on C-SPAN just to make a point.

3. My cat is apolitical, my dog is a Democrat and my horse is a monarchist.

My old cat who is now buried in the woods behind my house was a Republican of the old school, authoritarian, elegant and very concerned that things be done the right way. My current cat is a happy shy critter--wary of strangers but not particularly concerned about procedure. She's happy to do her job which is keeping down the mouse population. She may be a Republican like most cats but she is more of the worker bee variety and quite content with her situation in life.

My dog was I think an Irish pol in his former life. He's everyone's friend and super eager to please. He is also gay.

My horse rules his small herd like a benevolent monarch beloved by his harem of mares but let another horse--especially another gelding think that he has any rights or privileges other than those that my horse chooses to give him, and he will face a hail of teeth and hooves that will send him thundering to the corner of the field until he has served his sentence and it is time to let him out. On the few occasions when he has had to share a field with a horse stronger and more determined than him he becomes a revolutionary, constantly testing the self-imposed king until the other horse gives into the inevitable or is removed from his presence to avoid serious injury.

We humans are not that removed from the animals.

4. I wish my cats were like all those smug, aloof cats everyone complains about

My cats demand constant love, attention & pets. They use cuteness and guilt to get their way which includes having me on a schedule for nightly feeding and play time. The smallest, a little ball of grey and white fluff, has perfected the look of melting innocence and has patented a method for hogging the entire bottom of the bed so in the morning I am balled up in a corner. They are a diabolical tag team of fluffiness and I can't take it any more!

5. You're just an easy mark.

You have to learn to ignore them if you ever want a minute to yourself.

6. You got that right!

I will try to be strong. But I fear that resistance is futile. They are true professionals.

7. All cats are I believe are Ayn Randians.

They are selfish, self involved and unconcerned about the suffering they inflict on others.
