[Lemmingry]

Ailurocracy has already been achieved. The people want cats in power.

It all makes sense now...

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

Ailurocracy is what will stop China, Sinostatism, China Wartime Cocktail Uber!Pandemic and China Nuclear Winter.

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

It all makes sense now...

Yes. Replace China with an ailurocracy now and rename it Catna.

That was not what I was talking about.

Cat-Ra.
Then you get the fandoms as well.

Do the leaders have to be fully feline or can they be catboys/catgirls?

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

Do the leaders have to be fully feline or can they be catboys/catgirls?

The former.

Do the leaders have to be fully feline or can they be catboys/catgirls?

The former.

But why?

[The Alkdorian Empire]

The fuck. Whatever you are taking dude, stop. Just stop.

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

The fuck. Whatever you are taking dude, stop. Just stop.

Why? You haven’t refuted the idea of an ailurocracy.

[My Political Fantasy]

The fuck. Whatever you are taking dude, stop. Just stop.

Why? You haven’t refuted the idea of an ailurocracy.

I think YOU have to prove that cats have some sort of self-determination to actually start an Aliurocracy.

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

The former.

But why?

Because the point of the ailurocracy is to make the net cost of ceremonial positions negative.

Has anyone mentioned Stubbs, a cat who was mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska?

This wouldn't be a problem with a bigger cat, but Stubbs was attacked by a dog and spent 9 days in hospital. You might want to consider Secret Cat Service protection if the position is higher than Mayor.

But why?

Because the point of the ailurocracy is to make the net cost of ceremonial positions negative.

Um, transport? Security? Hair and makeup?

[Cameroi]

anyone who is sapient, considerate and exercises good sense, their physical form should not matter.
of course as far as i've heard, earth has yet to make contact with another world who's sapient population are feline in form.
presumably, when we do, most if not all of the leaders of that world's nations will of course be felliform.

Why did you have to revive this? Can we go back to letting it be dead, please? I had almost hoped Neko had forgotten about it.

[Tinhampton]

My cat has declared herself Queen. Ailurocracy has already been achieved.

Queen of what? Queen of where?

[Shu Chengdu]

My cat has declared herself Queen. Ailurocracy has already been achieved.

Queen of what? Queen of where?

Pursia.

You know I swear there was an episode of the Power Puff Girls that had something like this as the premise of the episode...

Ditto.

Come on people. We were so close!

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

Because the point of the ailurocracy is to make the net cost of ceremonial positions negative.

Um, transport? Security? Hair and makeup?

Sure. Compared to a human ceremonial head of state ailurocracy is cheap.

Nekostan of course.

Nekostan of course.

What is her opinion on the major of Idyllwild, Mayor Max II ?

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

Nekostan of course.

What is her opinion on the major of Idyllwild, Mayor Max II ?

My hands are more interesting to her than the picture of Mayor Max II.

[The Alma Mater]

What is her opinion on the major of Idyllwild, Mayor Max II ?

My hands are more interesting to her than the picture of Mayor Max II.

She is not happy that there are other animals in charge of places on earth ?

Also:

The Mayor’s duties include visiting with locals and out-of-town visitors, attending business grand openings and other town functions, being in the town’s two annual parades, and promoting Idyllwild.

This is evidence that an animal can indeed be perfectly suited to hold office. He is e.g. performing better than Ted Cruz.
