    There really needs to be a Cat Anti-Defamation League.

          The worst part is that the real candidates are engaged in a similar pun war.

          “Obamaloney” was Romney’s contribution (blech. “Romneyhood” to describe theft from the poor and gifts to the rich, was Obama’s. *sigh* At least I live in the land of snow, polar bears, beavers, and maple syrup. While I ride my snow-unicorn to school, though, I often envy you Americans for actually having politicians worth fighting over.

            …Did Ignatieff go back to Harvard yet?

            And isn’t the current head of the NDP not allowed to be the leader in the next election… this is hard.

            Still, it could be worse:

    Vote? Cats? This craftster must be nuts. Even if they could vote, cats would never vote because 1.) it implies that other peoples opinions matter and 2.) they are too lazy. It is the latter that keeps humans in power.

    Although once in 1975, the year of the great cat coup d’état, cat-kind actually made it as far as raising an army and building a death laser. Fortunately, for us bipeds, once they turned on the laser, all the cat soldiers ran to catch the dot, and were instantly incinerated.

    If you buy this for your ‘furrPublican’ cat s/he will be pretty upset because all I see is the word ‘democrat’ and donkeys on this fabric. Of course, all furrPublicans I know (cat & human) seem to enjoy being upset so I guess everyone wins.

      My theory is that they have one made out of Republican fabric, so you can buy whichever one you are, or believe your cat is, or whatever the fuck…

      My family are all Democrats, but we firmly believed the dog was a Republican…German Shepherds are all about law and order, and maintaining borders…so I don’t know what we would have done. Aside from not buy whatever this thing is supposed to me.

    Am I the only person that thinks these are kind of cute? I mean the concept, not the fabric choice. My cat Pepper would love to run in and out of this thing, sleep in in, roll it around the house, climb on top of it, contemplate which party she is most closely aligned with. You know, regular cat shit. Thumbs me down all you want but I like this “modern” contraption for my thoroughly modern cat. For $69 though she will just have to make due with her vintage hobo furnishings: cardboard box and scraps of fabric tied to a string.
