[News] Peak Guardian?

Are all cats Tories? I considered the politics of my pets – and they’re not pretty | Emma Beddington

My assumption that all dogs vote Labour or, at a pinch, Lib Dem, was shaken by two people who identified theirs as likely Reform voters, writes Emma Beddington

There are so few major issues on the planet that this piece was written to fill a void

And to think, there are some people who don’t take the Grauniad seriously. Well, this’ll show them!

Pretty sure peak Guardian would be:
"All Cats are Tories - Here's Why"

 

[GJN1]

I think they have a point...

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realise that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.”​

― Christopher Hitchens

I haven't read the article, and can't be bothered to, but Emma clearly has a point, that cats ARE Tories - the evil, selfish little bastards.

 

[Eric Potts]

No , dogs would tend towards the reactionary , conservative side of things and support The Man . After all ,you never hear about Police Cats .

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I don't really see this. I'd say cats:
Are firm believers in the welfare state (moan a lot until they get fed).
Strongly believe in equality (treat everybody with equal contempt).
Are committed to the overthrow of the capitalist system (lie all over their owner's copy of the Financial Times/computer keyboard demanding attention).
Have a liberal and relaxed approach to personal behaviour (sit licking their fanny in front of the entire family).

They're clearly the most Marxist of all the pets.

 

[Eeyore]

Never forget that if a cat could eat you it would.

 

[Is it PotG?]

If a cat gets fed a massive pile of food, it will take enough to sate the appetite then return later when a top up is required. The supplied nourishment could last days.
A dog however will eat the f###ing lot all in one go, then ask for more.

Strangely a few years ago I suggested to my husband, that the behaviour of cats reminded me of Tories and that maybe our cat should have the middle name of "Theresa"

Saying that I love our cat, even if does feel like a one way deal

Dogs vote Labour, because they are blindly loyal to anyone, no matter how disappointing.

Cats vote Tory, because they piss up against your wall out of spite and their warbling growl is a tribute to Thatcher.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Marine Le Pen has 6 cats.

 

[raymondo]

Marine Le Pen has 6 cats.

Is that a conservative estimate

Nothing to do with owning a cat means you can have a couple of nights away, neighbour pops in to top up food/drink as it can cope independently.

A dog can't be left 5 minutes on its own, as I'm constantly reminded by pooch owners, very needy.
