Do you have a Republi-cat or Demo-dog?

Published April 7, 2008 4:00am ET



Seems like everyone else has chimed in by now on the 2008 presidential election (well, except for those pesky undecided superdelegates), so why not ask your pet?

PetLane.com, a pet-supply company, is offering on its Web site “eight unmistakable signs that your companion animal is a Republican or a Democrat.”

So what would, say, a Republi-cat do? “Believe in the 2nd Amendment right to bear claws.” And they support electric border fences around the yard.

Democratic pets “socialize with all breeds at the dog park” and “prefer their owner uses biodegradable poop bags.” They “think of Ralph Nader as the dog catcher” and “want to end the war of dogs vs. cats once and for all.”

All of this makes us bark only one thing: Please hurry up and get this election over with.
