A good case is made:
Cats are Republicans, dogs are Dems
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.

Have you ever tried to get a cat to do something? Anything at all? Out of pure principle, they will reject your command — even if they know full well it will benefit them.
Because above all else, above even their personal welfare, cats value freedom.
How else to explain that cats will spend all day looking out the window, but then if you put a leash on them to take them out, they’ll drop to the floor and scowl at you as if you were worst thing possible —perhaps an auditor from the Internal Revenue Service.

No more than I would a seeing eye cat. Dogs are a bit more helpful in pulling their humans out of fires–cats have the let them eat cake mentality. Laura Ingraham however is a dog person, so go figure. I think she also used to date Keith Oberman too–a long time ago….
