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.

2. Dogs spread the love. Cats are selfish.
Which is why I love them both so much. Just differently.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 02:20 AM by Yukari Yakumo
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.
