In the US, red states have the highest rate of dog ownership, while residents of blue states are more likely to keep a cat as a pet.

So it's all Demo-cats and Re-pup-licans.

my family had both a cat and a dog. once, a candidate came to visit and try to sway our vote. he made the mistake of picking up our cat, and got his entire face shredded up. anyways, I later learned the guy was a democratic candidate. from there on, I assumed my cat was a hardcore Republican kitty...

It'd be more accurate to say blue stares are more likely to display the rate of cat ownership which would be observed on a normal society not afflicted by the cult of "No Homo."
