My technician is very liberal. She has 24 cats. I am not joking.

I am very liberal, and also a supervillain. I have two cats. One for each count.

My husband is liberal with conservative tendencies. He wants to add a small-ish dog, like a Jack Russell, to our happy little family.

My FIL keeps his political leanings mostly to himself, but if it’s any indication, he owns a cat and pretends to hate it. 😃

Evil supergeniuses - Dr. Evil, Blofeld - are cat people.

I am modestly liberal for a Californian, which I suppose means rabid liberal nearly everywhere else. I am a DOG PERSON. Not that I don’t like cats, but I do prefer dogs.

I like both cats and dogs.

But I’m a left wing commie pinko so ‘liberal’ isn’t the term for me.

Well, to the extent that a reasonably intelligent, educated persons’ entire socio-political philosophy can be dichotomized I’m a liberal; but I’ll go either way when it comes to cats and dogs
