For me, that's hard to call. I was asked this earlier today.

(6,336 posts)Do you think that felines could develop and stick to a clear, consistent message, and stick to it?
Do you think that if one meows, the others will soon follow in the same tone?
Do you think that cats could agree with each other on a few issues?
Have you ever tried to organize Democrats? Herding cats may be easier.

Shrimpy's a Progressive Dem, though, because she's the most wonderful Shrimpy in the world and she knows right from wrong. All the best people are Progressive

(692 posts)Because Dems are soft on crime. So everytime a Catwoman robs a jewelry store or snags a rare precious tiara from a socialite, they want to make sure there's a liberal judge on the bench, tossing the punks, the creeps, the freaks, the pervs, the weirdos, the scum, the riff-raff, the ne'er do wells, the pimps, the pushers, the panderers, and the penguins back out onto the streets to wreak havok upon the cowering, fearful citizens of Gotham. God damn them!

(24,764 posts)Cats have such a mind of their own that not even a political party like the Democrats could corral them in one big tent.
For instance, a cat could be conservative on some issues, such as mandatory naps during midafternoon and requiring all humans to be awake at 5AM to feed them; and liberal on other issues, e.g., drug legalization (catnip, anyone?) or a general anti-authoritarian sentiment.
