In 2024 people think cats should be neutered and kept indoors where they can't prey on endangered populations. It's a perfect analogy.

Or even 1962

"we need to beat Medicare" was quite memorable.

I mean, I love my cats, but they really are little bastards. So he's not *that* wrong.

I can probably infer what that’s supposed to mean from context, but otherwise I absolutely have no idea.

Stealing pizza out of bins is not the crime it might have been.

As we speak my son is petting an alley cat that came up to our back door begging for food.

I enjoy cats but can agree they are not terribly moral creatures

It is truly an outdated phrase, speaks to his age I guess

Well old people might chuckle. And those are the only people we know will reliably show up to vote.

You forget "the only felon standing on this stage is the man I'm looking at right now," among others.

Listen, I love cats very very much but I would never want one to be President. Now a dog, I'm listening.

A lot of people apparently do not realize that this old-timey slang translates as “he sleeps around with everyone”

I feel like at least the millennials should get it, what with Hamilton's "Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him!"

notdred.bsky.social•241 days ago

That’s true

tonchrysoprase.bsky.social•241 days ago

IDK. People like cats, but I don’t know many who’d die on the hill of them being fundamentally moral creatures.

*remembers cat playing with caught mouse, then audibly biting down while looking me straight in the eye* ‼️‼️

Also just a very Looney Tunes circa 1946 thing to say

prozacelf.bsky.social•241 days ago

Wait I love cats as much as anyone but do you seriously think they have moral superiority over anything

Using a joke to describe Trump is so weak. Strong words and seriousness are whats needed, not a cute remark about alley cats. Just so lame, what is wrong with him, and his team?
