My cat is a democrat! Cute picture..feel free to caption!

[TZ]

So my cat Sophie doesn't generally watch TV. This is still the only time I have seen her do it. She batted at the Daily Show graphics too. This is too cute for just the pet forum!

1. I've noticed cats are really big on this forum?*

FTF

[AndyA]

3. Yep - lots of Cat lovers at DU!

I have two, and they are such good company.

[Atman]

9. Cats are indepenent. Dogs just do what they're told.

But I'm not trying to start a cat fight. Just sayin.

[AndyA]

17. My Cats are more like Dogs. They greet me at the door when I come home,

they love to lay down beside me, or on my lap, and one of them sleeps in bed with me all night. And, they understand what "NO" means, and usually (usually is the key word here!) do what they're told.

I have friends with Cats that never want to be touched, so I guess it depends a lot on how they've been treated and raised.

[Critters2]

20. Two of mine act like dogs, come when they're called, follow me around, etc

The other is completely independent. Doesn't need anyone for anything!! Fiesty li'l gal. Until recently (maybe due to tainted food) she had never been ill. I always said no germ would dare!!

24. Sophie's sister Smokie plays fetch!

I have a picture in the Pets forum....

[Atman]

41. I had a cat who loved to play fetch

But only with crumpled paper balls. Crumple any paper, and she'd come running from wherever and would fetch the paper ball and bring it back. Loved that cat.

I knew I'd stir up a hornet's nest with that post, but really -- sounds like some of you have CINO's (cats in name only).

43. My male Cat, Tyler, plays fetch!

He also plays Red Light, Green Light when you peek around the corner at him. He thinks he's quite the stalker. He also knows how to jump up on the wall and turn the lights on and off. It was a bit startling the first few times he did it!

[TZ]

44. Tyler like Sophie is in the category of being

waay to clever for their their/our own good! Sophie and her sister Smokie get canned food when my radio turns on at 6am, generally. They now know that by sitting on my alarm clock the radio will turn on and thus I will feed them. I don't really need to set my alarm anymore, usually now it is started waaay before 6.:eyes:

[AndyA]

45. How funny! I had a Cat named Max for 16 years, and he knew he would be fed

first thing when I got up as well. So, he started doing it earlier and earlier...weekends, holidays, didn't matter.

Both of my Cats now get fed when I come home from work. They are ALWAYS happy to see me. I keep 4-5 different kinds of kibble out for them all the time, so they are never really hungry. The time change was made to prevent a repeat of Max, and I'm pretty sure Tyler would have it figured out by now.

Sophie and Smokie are hoping you don't notice that the time is getting earlier and earlier...heaven help us if they ever learn to use the phone, and can pass "tips" back and forth to each other!

[TZ]

46. I got a bop on the head by Sophie at 4am the other day...n/t

:eyes:

[TZ]

48. kicking for the evening crowd to enjoy n/t

[teriyaki jones]

27. I beg to differ regarding dog obedience

My dogs are decidedly independent--they listen to me when they feel like it, or when there's something in it for them. Gotta love 'em!

tj

[stubtoe]

29. Love the tinfoil hat!

DU doggies. :)

[Cabcere]

30. Cute!

I love both dogs and cats - my family has one dog and two cats, and they're all wonderful in their own ways. :)

[havocmom]

32. Great pic! I have new computer wallpaper now

:rofl:

[teriyaki jones]

36. Glad you all like it!

Sometimes I'm not sure who is having more fun at whose expense in this house!

[Cha]

38. Those dogs are

adorable..Green eyes and a tinfoil hat! Whitey is cute, too.

[hlthe2b]

47. snarf... tell that to MY little independent doggie girl.....

This one knows how to get exactly what she wants...

[havocmom]

2. Email it to Comedy Central!

TOO cute!

Take THAT, Colbert! Stewart gets the pussy! :rofl:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

6. .

:spray:

[Libby2]

15. I agree, that's a great idea!

[Cabcere]

25. LOL!

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: Thanks for that - that comment may have just made my day. :rofl:

[TZ]

26. okay I took your suggestion..

(which someone else told me to do elsewhere) and I used your little line there! That was tooo good not to pass along. Hope you don't mind!:)

[havocmom]

31. Steal my lines... Anderson Cooper did a couple years ago and look where he is now!

:hi:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

4. Too cool!

Maybe you can capture her hissing and spitting at Cheney someday . . .

[AndyA]

My cats will sometimes watch TV from across the room.

You can see their eyes moving, following movement on the screen. Very cute. If I leave the TV on in the bedroom, both of them will be back there sleeping, I think they like hearing the TV even if they aren't watching it.

[Cabcere]

28. My cat Isabel

loves to watch my mom work on the computer...she actually tries to chase the cursor sometimes (gives a new meaning to the term "mouse," doesn't it? ;)). :rofl:

[meegbear]

5. Are you sure?

When my cat does something like that, he pukes up. Perhaps your cat is a Rove plant and is practicing so it can hurl on him when a perceived mean-spirited anti-Bush joke is said.

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Demo-Cat!

BTW my retriever Gus would like to meet her. He needs the exercise.

[TZ]

8. Ding! Best line sooo

I am going to have to forgive you for the dog chasing thing...:P

[devilgrrl]

10. "Jon, why book Dennis Miller? What were you thinking?"

:)

[Sequoia]

11. Cats ARE Democrats

Couldn't paste it, got a mean warning.

[Justice Is Comin]

12. I think this captures Leahy's concern now

regarding bush claiming executive privilege over subpoenas.

[smokey nj]

13. Sophie, you're gonna ruin your eyes sitting on top of the TV like that!

Sorry, I channeled my mom for a moment.

[Critters2]

21. My mom: Sophie, you should go outside or read a book or something.nt

[AnneD]

14. I think cats are big here because....

1) cats are neither leaders or followers-they dance to their own music...much like true Democrats.
2) it takes patience to care for something that may or may not like you.

Most GOP I know prefer dogs...
1) dogs can be trained to obey
2) dogs are always greatful for what ever scapes you give them.

Now that being said...I have both in my household...but the cat is the only one allowed on the bed with me.;)


Edited to add that the cartoon wasn't posted before I started typing....It sums it up all very nicely. Yes...cats are democrats. I might add

Male cats will fight for pussy but a dog will hump anything.

[insane_cratic_gal]

16. Yours too!!!

I thought it was just mine. I think if given half the chance he'd tear Bush apart.


Here is Cheezit giving Bushy a "Go Ahead and make my day Punk!" look.

[Warpy]

18. There are no pins in that doll!

You're slipping

[insane_cratic_gal]

19. LOL

Your right, there aren't. It was my Dad's bad idea for a joke christmas present. If I said he was hanging by a noose, do you think the secret service would show up at my door? Not that I'm saying that he is. *whistles innocently*

:hide:

[Cabcere]

22. Awww...what a cutie!

:loveya: (I guess that could apply to both your cat and Jon, lol - love 'em both!) :hi:

[catmandu57]

23. We're all democats here

Now, if I could just get them registered to vote we could work on this red state thing. Cute picture, ours will watch the tube every now and then, I haven't noticed any fondness for Stewart though.

[Eurobabe]

33. LOL, all cats are Democrats.

they are too smart for the dark side.

:rofl:

[SusanaMontana41]

34. Now that's one cute cat.

Sophie is beautiful, too.

:P

[bklyncowgirl]

35. My dog is a Democrat; may cat is apolitical (kind of fluffhead); my horse is an anarchist

Actually when my anarchist horse--who is always plotting against the dominant horse in his paddock--gets in charge himself he quickly becomes a dictator.

Like the song says:

Come meet the new boss
Same as the old boss...

We won't get fooled again

[TZ]

37. for my 1000th post I want to say
