1. I voted 'other'.

Cats exist outside any artificial political construct enforced on their behavior by outside observers. To label them as either is a null experiment, and results would be unquantifiable.


Schrodinger was right.

[Shell Beau]

2. Dogs spread the love. Cats are selfish.

Which is why I love them both so much. Just differently.

[KittyWampus]

24. kitteh drops dead stuff at my feet all the time...

from kitteh's perspective, that's quite generous

[KamaAina]

3. Hitler hated and feared cats.

Then there's the tale of Asscroft and the Calico.

[Arugula Latte]

29. And Leonardo da Vinci loved the kitties, as do all Cool People.

[rurallib]

33. Never heard of Asscroft and the calico. Can you enlighten?

[KamaAina]

49. Supposedly Asscroft thinks calicos are signs of the Debbil.

He says it's an urban legend. Do you believe him?

4. Cats are anarchists, dogs are socialists.

[graywarrior]

5. Cats are Independents.

[Taverner]

6. So are they...anarchists?

[graywarrior]

7. I'm sure they consider humans as unnecessary and would love to eliminate us

[AllenVanAllen]

16. If my cat had the size advantage,

he'd have me for dinner. I can see it in his eyes.

[Taverner]

40. Yes and so would your dog

And your ferret, fish or hamster...

[Muttocracy]

42. my dogs do have the size advantage - not noms so far

I have that "my what big teeth you have" moment with them now and again

[JitterbugPerfume]

8. my cats are independent and slightly anarchist

Dogs will lick anybodys hand and poop in it's own yard

cats-democrats

dogs --republican , except for my sons beautiful strong and independent black lab

[ashling]

9. Patches the Democat says that "liberal" and "conservative"

are such antiquated two dimensional constructs in the current multi-dimensional political matrix.


Hey, she said it -- I'm not making this shit up!

[Truthiness Inspector]

10. I know this was meant to be "cute"

but animals really don't care about politics...Thank God. We could learn a lot from them.

They know good people and bad ones. Animals have their own personalities. I wish more people would too.

[UrbScotty]

11. Well, Bo has thrown the entire Democratic base under the bus

Looks conservative to me!

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Other

Ascribing political ideology to animals is ridiculous.

[RoyGBiv]

13. Cats are totalitarians ...

Ideology is irrelevant.

And I love their little dictator hearts.

[MajorChode]

14. I suspect most dogs spend more time thinking about cats than ideology

That and licking their balls.

[Withywindle]

15. Other.

Both are monarchists.

Dogs believe humans are royalty and they are loyal servants. Cats know very well that they themselves are the royalty.

[KG]

17. my dog's a Marxist.

[bigwillq]

18. Dogs are better.

End of story.

[Arugula Latte]

26. No way, Jose.

The exact opposite is true.

End of story.

[bigwillq]

31. Yeah, dawg?

Are you ready for a cat fight?

[Arugula Latte]

34. I got mah claws out!

Not to mention my lightning-quick leg!

[bigwillq]

35. Oh snap!

That cat brought the heat!

[dana_b]

51. yep!

generally cats only care about themselves...dogs will save your damn life.

I still like some kitties though.

[SoxFan]

19. Cats are Meowists

[pokerfan]

23. Well, that explains their attitude towards the 'running dogs' of imperialism

[Skittles]

20. cats and dogs are both awesome so they are both liberals

[Joey Liberal]

21. My dogs are Liberals who vote early and often!

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Dogs are very conservative; cats are very liberal, as well as libertarian.

Dogs are all about unquestioning obedience and blind loyalty and reward-based behavior.

Cats are the opposite.

[Muttocracy]

43. huh, you want to tell my dogs about that obedience thing?

'cause like many smart dogs they second-guess a lot of what I suggest.

[Ten Bears]

25. Cats are democrats and dogs are republicans and this proves it.

[JonLP24]

48. That might be the best comic strip ever

[Deja Q]

27. I've got parrots. They poop on your cats and dogs.

[Arugula Latte]

28. All I know is that rightwingers favor dogs because they like slavish obedience and are threatened by

the obvious superiority of the kitties.

Cool, liberal people like cats.

Mee-Ow.

[Demoiselle]

30. My dogs are:

Extremely liberal on social issues,although they do love sticking their noses in other people's business, moderates on financial matters, since they understand that good kibble costs money, and quite conservative on law and order, which explains the barking when anyone comes to the door.

My cats don't give a rat's ass about politics. They live in another dimension.

[UndertheOcean]

32. silly poll , cats and dogs are not capable of thought

[MineralMan]

38. Incorrect, again.

Do you have no pets?

[Taverner]

39. I was gonna say - dogs and cats are capable of thought

[sarge43]

36. Dogs are centerists; cats go to the extremes of the political spectrium. n/t

[MineralMan]

37. One of my cats is an anarchist; the other a fascist.

Cats cannot be put into one category.

[tabbycat31]

41. dogs obey authority figures and can be trained to

therefore are conservatives.

Cats have a more "live and let live" lifestlye therefore they are liberal.

[Muttocracy]

44. where does selfishness come in? nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. They transcend politics

In this regard they are far more intelligent than humans.

[Mojambo]

46. I'not really sure about this, but I think they're animals. n/t

[Yukari Yakumo]

47. Cats are Libs, Dogs and Cons

Cats, no matter how hard they try, will not listen to their master's commands and don't give two shits about them.
Dogs, OTOH, gladly follow all orders (if they know how) and would kiss their master's butt (metaphorically) every chance they get.

[northernlights]

50. my dog humps everything

I think that makes him a repug, doesn't it?

[Odin2005]

52. Dogs are authoritarian. Cats are libertarian.
