Cats are really the ultimate allegory for communism. Like communists, cats lay around all day being lazy and expect everything to be given to them without having to labor and toil for it like Real Americans. Also like communists, if you turn them upside down and tickle their bellies, cats become extremely irate and will hiss and scratch. Cats also hate water, much like those dirty smelly hippie communists who try to get you to join their drum circle and become a hairy lesbian.
Even moreso, the Internet phenomenon known as "lolcats" is COMMUNISM! When is the last time you paid for a lolcat? Enjoying things without paying for them does nothing to stimulate the economy and is therefore COMMUNISM!
