There are few topics more divisive these days than politics. The national argument is famously two sided, with seemingly fewer and fewer folks located near the center of the discussion.

But for all the fury and bluster associated with the current Right versus Left conflict, there is another national squabble that is no less contentious, even if it is slightly less vitriolic. I’m talking about the cat versus dog argument.

If you’re a cat person, you likely cite feline qualities such as cleanliness, intelligence, and ease of maintenance. If you’re arguing for the pro-dog camp, you probably list loyalty and friendliness as primary canine charms.

If you happen to have a cat that enjoys car rides, please let us know. We’ll make note of the aberration.
