I have a photo of a sign in New Orleans that says "no cat selling". It took me a while to figure out they weren't talking about actual felines.

Little Hitler: A shaving and trimming short of a women's pubic area. This leaves a small short haired patch of hair that looks like a mustache. Although most men prefer women with shaved pussy, the little hitler is a second best.

Hmmm, interesting interpretation. He sings about passion inflamed, seed all shot and sown, maybe so. Here's the lyrics:
Little Hitler
What you doin'?
Is the passion inflamed again?
Little Hitler
Where you goin'?
Is it go-go night again tonight?

Ever searchin'
For the action
But the action don't want to know
I sit all alone you're a tough one

Little Hitler
What's the matter now?
Can't you settle for the center of attention?
Little Hitler,
Now I'm serious,
Let me guess while you knock me off the guest list.

As the world turns,
At the edge of night
And the seed all shot and sown
I'll make a little Hitler of my own

When the going gets tough, tough get going
Every now and then
I can see them running, running
You can talk to them
You can be short with them
But you'll get no change,
Only shootin' at 'em long-range

As the world turns,
At the edge of night
And the seed all shot and sown
I'll make a Little Hitler of my own

See you someday soon
Selfish pleasure, yeah
With the one I love

Little Hitler now

hahahah this is so funny, great documentary about great leader and the continuous battle to free cat nation from discrimination hahahah. I am sure that the assassination was for Dog's interest hahah.
You know I used to live in a city called Zagazig before I moved to Cairo it is just 70km from the capital, anyway. while I was in primary school they discovered a large archaeological site with several statues of cats made of Gold, Silver and rocks. The site is called Tel Basta and it was a temple for worshiping MAO cats, Pharaohs believed that cats are the guardians of the doors of the death kingdom and worshiped them!
Till that time I still think about this period and say, What a bad time for Dogs hahaha.
in the modern city nowadays we have large Cat statue in a square. this is strange a little to find instead of a leader statue just a cat looking at you!!!

My icon is Ignatz from the old Krazy Kat cartoon strip, I'd thought this was interesting:

Krazy Kat as a fundamental source of screen theory
In the late 1980s, Marco Frascari, the architecture critic and teacher, introduced to architecture audiences the art of George Herriman, the long-lived cartoonist famous for 'Krazy Kat', syndicated cartoon for the Hearst newspapers. A comprehensive study of Herriman had just been published by Patrick McDonell, Karen O'Connell, and Georgia Riley de Havenon (Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman, New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1986) — cover shown below, book in print. Vivid color reproductions of nearly fifty years of production revealed that Herriman was a witty genius whose 'symptomatic' animal characters created the perfect 'Möbius strip', no pun intended. Krazy Kat, of indeterminate gender and age, was, because of a 'racial memory' of a foiled love affair in ancient Egypt between a noble cat and a slave mouse, perpetually fascinated by her contemporary mouse, Ignatz. In Egypt, the dog-guards had punished the mouse for attempting to woo the sacred cat. The slave-mouse had written a love letter, wrapped it around a brick to make it possible to throw up to the pedestal where the cat reposed. Mistakenly, the brick hit the Kat on the head, but the effect was identical to a 'coup d'amour', and the Kat recognized at once this act of true love. The guard dogs seized the mouse, but Krazy forbade them to harm him.

In the present day of the strip, this racial memory permeates the trio, converting the natural order that places dog, cat, and mouse in a perfectly 'transitive' power relationship into an 'intransitive' order (the dog loves the Kat, who loves the mouse, who now hates the Kat) held in place by what Deleuze would call a 'demark' — a sign of something that has resisted or escaped the natural order. This is the brick, which the mouse Ignatz continually throws to hit the Kat's head. Thinking that he is revenging the ancestors who have been persecuted by cats throughout the ages, he is unconsciously repeating the original act of his ancestor's 'demarkian' love. The brick, when it hits its mark (or de-mark) has the correct effect, however. The Kat interprets the violent act as a token of the mouse's love. The dog, descendant of the guard-dogs of ancient Egypt, is now the sheriff's of the generic south-western U.S. landscape. He is as incapable of understanding the subtlety of the mouse-Kat romance now as his ancestors were then, and the conclusion of many Krazy Kat comic strips was a frame showing an incarcerated mouse.

So will a dog. So will you. So starve yourself for a few days, have your fingers with some ketchup and don't forget to really chew your tongue before you swallow it with some cheaper wine.
