Heh:

When a cat is affectionate towards you, he really means it. With a dog he's merely sucking up. Cats are like Britons. Dogs are like the French. Dogs expend insane amounts of useless energy yet never accomplish anything - they are like liberals. Cats conserve their energy and pick their fights - they are like conservatives. Please keep up the good fight.

Why, yes, I did in fact have trouble categorizing this post.

Dogs can be trained to do tricks; that parallel seems to apply to the old Vichy government.

Chihuahuas will incessantly yap at anyone it sees, so I guess Le Monde is a chuhuahua.

Listen I'm not going to change anyone's opinion of dogs and cats. And regardless of whether you're a cat person or dog person, isn't it mean to tag either with being like the French?

My dog used to run off and hunt for 2 or 3 days whjen we lived out in the boonies. He'd come home stinking to high heaven, but he still didn't smell or act French.

Saying dogs are like the French is not analogy, it's slander.

I find this post to be enlightened and accurate.

Except that unlike the French, dogs can do useful stuff (e.g. seeing eye dogs, explosive detection, etc.).

Cat's are like the French. When the Germans arrive they'll sit back and watch and do nothing.

Dog's are like the Anglo nations. When the Germans try to come to your house they'll either raise a ruckus or fight to the death to protect their home.

The Islamic world prefers cat's to dogs. That says more than enough if you ask me.

We have one of each and I'd have to say the Cat is more French. With the dog you are family,
with the cat you are staff. The dog will defend the home and family the cat just runs away. When you come home the dog greats you at the door excited to see you, the cat just ignores you unless he wants food or attention. The dog is sad when you leave , the cat does not care.

You never met our cat. She may not be upset when we leave, but that's only because she doesn't know how long we'll be gone. After a few days, when we get home, she's clearly upset at being left. And not having anyone on which to lie at night. And it's not just about food, because she gets fed, even when we leave.

The French (and much of the world's press) are little yippy toy dogs, not the useful breeds.

I could never get the american animosity towards the french.

But after having to do business with them on a number of occasions, I can kind of see your point.

Most french I to do business with were slimy, backstabbing bastards. Friendly and downright subservient when talking to you face to face, but always scheming behind your back.
