Reminds me of corporate cat:

I'm pretty sure that's a male cat. Rock on.
tee hee.
the way I usually explain it to (the usually male) people who think I have no sense of humor is:
"Dead baby jokes - funny. Family Guy - funny. Rape jokes - not funny. Got it?"
But I've seen rape jokes on the family guy.
That cat just needs some head scratches.
I have to admit, even as a long term fan of FG, it does still make me wince occasionally. Which is difficult to do while in the middle of laughing hysterically.
What that should is
Feminist Cat is not amused by your Patriarchy.
Family Guy was never funny.
You're a Kitty!
I despise Family Guy. It's one of the things I say often in social settings that elicits the "you're just a humorless feminist" response. UGH. Seriously? It's like MANY other forms of media: I laugh and laugh and then... utoh ... they say something stupid/offensive/patriarchal and I cringe.
Yay feminist cat! And corporate cat made me actually LOL
Yeah, I hate that. And the thing is, I'm sure they're actually making fun of misogyny and sexism most of the time, and the fact it's more obvious in American Dad is why I much prefer it. I feel that they overestimate their audience a lotI tried explaining to a friend how sexist it can be even when they're trying to be ironic, using the rat farm as an example of "how is that funny??" And his response was "yeah, they're rats" I was dumbfounded that he could miss the point that much. :(
Well, I do admire that cat's liquid line.
Wow, that lolcat brings back strange memories. As a very small child, I confused "female" with "feline", and the existence of male cats perplexed me.
