Democratic Kittens?

Man in Black

A guy walks in to a pet shop looking for a kitten for his daughter.

The pet shop owner says " We have these cute little Democrat kittens, they're half off regular price!

The guys says "Democrat kittens? I've never heard of kittens who belonged to a political party!"

The pet shop owner assures him that they are, in fact, Democrats. The guy promises to come back tomorrow to get one after he talks to his daughter.

The next day, the guy comes back and asks for the Democrat kittens and the pet store owner apologizes and says "I'm sorry sir, but we no longer have Democrat kittens, but we have this litter of Republican kittens to choose from!"

The guy looks at them and realizes they are the same kittens and say to the pet store owner "Aren't these the same kittens that were democrats yesterday" What happened?"

The pet store owner says " Well, they were Democrats yesterday, but then they opened their eyes!"

*RIMSHOT* :D


I figured everyone would get a kick out of this. I heard it from a good friend a bit ago.

Wow. Yet another joke stretched beyond all reason to make fun of liberals (well, Democrats- there's a difference) in such a manner that it cannot be easily countered without cries of, "D00d! Get a sense of humor!" Great.

Notice that these sorts of jokes rarely pop up targetted at conservatives. I wonder why that is?

To make way too much seriousness about a joke, cats are far more likely to become "Republicans" because they are mostly independant and don't much care about anybody but themselves. Kittens, however, rely on the care and goodwill of others, which should make them Democrats, as that is the party that believes in taking care of those who need it. I say should, because there are always hypocrites out there who take advantage of different social programs and then complain about the "big government, tax us into the poorhouse" Democrats (my sister would be one of these) </rant>

There's another, similar test online. Right here. (http://www.moral-politics.com/xPolitics.aspx?menu=Home) Unfortunately, some of the responses aren't very clear, and taking the test multiple times yields different results each time.

It does come from the left now and then, and usually I'm a little more upset or disappointed with it when it does. I left the google one alone because it was so old that there didn't seem to be a point to saying anything. And I was more taken into the way googlebombs are done, because I never looked that up.

But I'm more prone to respond to these kind of things when it comes from 'my side' because it's embarrassing and not really neccisary. When the 'other side' does it I kinda don't care. It means they have nothing with traction, so let them have thier fun. Who cares? I expect more from the solid side of the arguement, though.

So whatever. It's a joke. Maybe not the same kind for everyone, but meh. I'd be more upset if it was reversed.

The arrogance of cats clearly outweigh the friendship and loyalty of dogs (cats are just so damn cool when they're arrogant).

I prefer a hairy furball that drools when I pet her to a dog that just doesn't understand that I don't want his tongue licking all over my face.

Neighbours lawn gives bad rep with the neighbour. Litter boxes aren't necessary if you just let the cat go outside. Therefore! Cats own here too, as they can do it anywhere they damn well please... except for inside the house when it's not in a litter box.

Clawing rocks! it adds an element of catness to the house. Digging up neighbours and your yard just adds potholes and other stuff that's dangerous and annoying.

no, purring = barking.

Cats are annoying when they bat my glasses off of my face when I'm trying to read the paper. And the fact that they can scale anything seriously bugs me. Dogs are much cooler than cats when they want to screw around and are out hunting things.

I like that licking! The picking up of hairballs on the other hand, ew!

My point exactly. ;)

So, that's an "=" then.
Why do cats get special treatment and can run around without a leash/fence?
Cats! Arrgh!

Clawing is an annoying sound. And cats know I hate it. They look at me while they do it.
Dogs just own. Holes are cool.
And while my dog can't do this, they can retrieve birds too. And fetch sticks (can do that). And they make really big, comfy pillows.

I don't like it when a dog starts to hump a leg (I do however, laugh when two female dogs try to hump each other).

The scaling part is awesome, just like their independence. All you have to do is: open the door occasionally, feed them and change the litter boxes.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

:P once again, as above.

Cats! Arrgh!

I let my dog run around without a leash when I walk him. There's no fence in my garden either. My dog grew up with cats, I believe he may have gotten some of their traits, but has otherwise become a cowardly wimp.

another reason to prefer cats: they only surrender to you when they want to. A dog can be a cowardly wimp, cats cannot.

Clawing is an annoying sound. And cats know I hate it. They look at me while they do it.

Exactly :D Cat arrogance owns again.

Dogs just own. Holes are cool.

Holes can be cool, but they can be seriously uncool. It's fun to see a dog with lots of dirt on their nose though.

I had a cat that would fetch. *nod* His name was T.C.. He was a huge yellow tabby cat. If you threw a candy wrapper or something else noisy he could bat around, he would play with it for a minute then carry it back to you in his mouth so you could throw it again. :)

Oh yeah, I forgot kittens like to play and bring back things to get it thrown around some more.

Therefore, dogs fetching = cats fetching (usually not)

But I think its funny when a dog humps anything.
As far as the leash thing goes, its an American thing. And dumb people.

There's two kinds of dog barks:
1) the random pointless, "Oh my God, there's a [random wild animal] outside!"
2) the useful, "Burglar! Do something! I'll act big and mean!"
However, bark number 2 passes for just about anybody. And then being friendly after entering the house doesn't help. Its just a show. Burglars are usually afraid of dogs because burglars think like cats, for example, cat-burgalers.

Why do people say "Democrats" and "Republicans" when they mean "leftists" and "conservatives". If you look at what both parties do when they're in government, you see that the whole "vast ideological difference" between them is fabricated.

Dogs shite in the middle of gardens and just leave it there for you to clean up: general, con (pro if you hate your neighboures and can get it to go into their yards)
Cats will refuse to go anywhere except under bushes/cover, and will bury it so you don't even have to see it; general, pro (double pro if you have neighboures who love gardening, as buried cat shite will throw off pH levels and kill their plants of choice).

Also, if you don't like furballs, get a short furred cat and give them food that includes anti-furball stuff. Problem solved. There's no such quick-fix for ooky slobbery dogs (except general removal from the household ^.^)

Purring (usually reacting to something sane, quiet enough to ignore when they're just being weird) > barking (usually reacting to, like, stray oxygen molecules or the sound of someone thinking about walking past the house, is loud and annoying, especially if said dog isn't trained due to stupid dog-spoiling mothers).

My cat fetches, so yay. He also considers pipe cleaners his sworn enemies, which is amusing. And he's a way better guard than our idiot dog, who slept through the last burglury (whereas the cat started growling and hissing and eventually attacked said burglar, and all the shouting woke my parents. Whee). The lesson is: buy oriental siamese cats; they're absolutely batty in all the best ways.

The biggest con about cats is that they stop being kittens far, far too quickly.

If you recall, I said it was mildly funny.

You could have told the same joke without Democrats vs. Republicans. You chose to make it insulting to some. Now you act surprised some were insulted. Grow up.

Anyone who aligns themselves 100% with a political party is a moron and deserves to be insulted.

THAT'S HOW I HEARD THE JOKE!!!! I'm not gonna censor everything I say so as not to upset your precious delicate feelings. You seem to be the one who needs to grow it. I'll say it again....... IT WAS A JOKE! Laugh at it or leave the thread. Choice is a valuable thing. Use it!


And incidentally, please tell me, oh wise one, how do you tell that joke without mentioning Democrats and Republicans?

*RIMSHOT* :D

Umm...that exclamation you left at the bottom of the 'joke' - is it to do with the act of 'rimming'?

It would certainly make sense if it were, as that joke is equivalent to said act. Especially if done on a dead cat, say.

I assume that applies to author of the joke.

I, fo one, don't identify 100% with any political party.

The author of this thread wouldn't shed a single tear if the Republican Party were disbanded tommorrow. But way to think you know me! 2 points for trying. :rolleyes:

Then why are you so sensitive that somebody insulted the fragile little democrats?

I'm not. But there isn't a lot to say in response to that joke other than "HA" or "funny, but..." I went with "funny, but..."

There is a difference between identifying generally with a party and "align[ing] [one]sel[f] 100% with a political party." Or does anyone that votes in a primary become a moron?

Why are you so sensitive that somebody was insulted by the joke? It was clearly intended to insult Democrats.

Ironically, your "joke" looks like all the other run-of-the-mill Democrat insults.

And that supports that theory.


Remember kids, trolling in the name of "comedy" is still trolling.

If you ask me, when democrats open their eyes, they become real leftists, not republicans.;)
