The sign showing "Pets Boarded Here" and Taft's smile at Roosevelt are elements of the cartoon that show the artist disapproves of Taft's handling of Roosevelt's policies.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Taft was the president of the republic after Roosevelt.
- He was nominated by Roosevelt and therefore had the responsibility to look after and continue the policies established by Roosevelt.
- However, the artist believe that Taft didn't do a good job and we can see that in the cartoon.
If we interpret the cartoon we will see that:
- Roosevelt left his cat in the care of Taft, who has a pet care facility, as shown on the sign.
- The cat represents the policies of Roosevelt, who is going to fetch the cat. However, he found the cat unkempt and ugly, unlike what it used to be.
- Taft is smiling, showing that he has no remorse for having mishandled Roosevelt's cat, making him ugly to the point of scaring Roosevelt.
With this, we can say that the artist believed that Taft spoiled Roosevelt's policies, turning them into something horrendous and frightening.
