Public Response
A variety of testimonial has been posted on the official site. Much of the testimonial is positive (one user heralds the space as "A Post-Structuralist Analysis of the Socio-Semiotics of Fuhrer/Feline Inter-Contextuality", but a section entitled "We Hate Kitlers" proves that many members of society have had a hard time stomaching the idea of comparing kittens to a dictator. Comments on the site are riddled with grammatical errors but cite issues such as the fact "no cat deserves any connection with Hitler" and the more extensive "How can you possibly endorse or support facist racism? Don't you know your history? It's people like you who oppressed and killed my people. Do you think (you're) that much better than us? (You're trying to make Hitler and Natzism look cute - by (associating) small, adorable cats with their hatred. It's NOT cute, not NOT funny, and i am offended."
Cats That Look Like Hitler is one of many memes which has offended the public and put a serious historical tragedy in comedic light. Journalist and writer Jon Bershad has noted the eye-opening power of off-color internet sensations such as Cats That Look Like HItler, claiming that we "can't ignore" these responses to tragedy. The humor in the website can help people to "get over tragedy" and then "put (the situation) behind them so they can learn from it and move on."

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or response:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Women had to deal with the men’s response when the women wanted more time “out” of the home; men now must deal with the women’s response as men want more time “in.””
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
