Identification of examples may be considered subjective; some articles citing the technique are listed for illustration:

United Kingdom

  • A 2013 proposal to cap bankers' bonuses was compared to a dead cat by Boris Johnson:[3]
{{quote|There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[4]}}
