Kasia and Dan address their toughest question yet: are cats left wing? Springing from a shared love of feline friends, they trace the history of cat-obsessed activists and intellectuals through Kasia's cat The Professor's very gross lost claw. Why did the left choose to welcome these ruthless killers into their homes? Are cats incapable of love, or is that a myth spread by 'Big Bird’? And they trawl the digital recesses of blog sites (so you don’t have to) to test if cat memes will turn you into a libertarian or communist. They also read Leigh Claire La Berge's brilliant book Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary.
