There’s always one person in an office who turns every coffee break into a dog slideshow. Good news: giving a Secret Santa gift to a dog fan isn’t that complicated!

All our deep dives, hot takes, and reflections on the (complicated) inner life of your pet.
Your cat talks about merit while sleeping 18 hours a day, defends success without ever having worked a day, and suddenly seems fascinated by sweaters tied around the shoulders? You might have to consider an uncomfortable hypothesis: your cat is a conservative.
Does your cat now demand the status of “independent feline worker”? They might be a leftist. Let’s look at the most common symptoms of this feline radicalization.
It might be time to accept the obvious: your cat is a lesbian. Before you set up another disastrous date with the neighbor’s cat, let’s look at the clues that might confirm your suspicions.
Does your cat now call you “comrade”? Before they collectivize your couch or turn your apartment into a feline people’s republic, here are the signs that should tip you off.
Your cat believes all forms of authority are illegitimate, categorically refuses house rules, and sees every piece of furniture as an opportunity for rebellion? Your cat might have become an anarchist.
Your cat now refuses any simple definition: one day “Mr. Whiskers,” the next a medieval princess, then a nightstand lamp until further notice. Here are the signs they might be genderfluid, and how to handle it.
Your cat turns their nose up at chicken pâté, sniffs your broccoli with curiosity, and now looks at the neighborhood pigeons like comrades instead of prey. Could your cat be vegan?
Your cat spends their days denouncing capitalism, systemic domination, and the symbolic violence of the modern world. So far, so good. The problem is they’re saying all this with a glass of champagne in paw, from the velvet couch of a patron bankrolling their short film about the suffering of the working class.
You came home from work and thought you’d walked into the wrong house: no TV, no sofa, not even your Hulk Hogan collectibles. Your cat had donated everything to the needy of the neighborhood — almost everything, anyway. Their cat tree, treats and heated blanket were still exactly where they’d always been. It may be time to face the truth: your cat is a socialist.
