Rossella's sketch

the utopian state of pussyfoot (this name is provisional and shall be revised at a later date).

“a new order for the future with roots reaching deeply into the past.”

la religione non è altro che il bisogno di orientamento sul concetto della vita della realtà tutta. senza questo orientamento non si vive, o si vive con animo diviso e perplesso, infelicemente. certo, meglio quella religione che coincide con la verità filosofica che una religione mitologica, ma meglio una qualsiasi religione che nessuna religione. e, poiché infelicemente nessuno vuol vivere, ognuno a suo modo tende a foggiarsi, consapevolmente o inconsapevolmente, una religione. (benedetto croce, per la rinascita dell’idealismo)

cat=religion

religion seems still to be a necessary evil to orient life. when traditional religions fails, new religions are created in order to replace them.

thus

cat religion is as good as any—and perhaps better than most.

suggested size of the state=smaller than switzerland for sustainability.

type of government: a theocracy of sorts.

order guaranteed by a guiding directorium of cat ladies.

nobody owns anything, all belongs to the cats.

resources acquired through mass production of cat videos (and it goes without saying: no cats will be harmed to produce them). tourism will be another important source of income.

single people, no reproduction or family ties allowed. to prevent carers from being extinguished, an effective pr campaign will guarantee new applications coming in.

the state is open to all those who are ready to surrender their independence in honor of the supreme being, the felis catus, aka the domestic cat. all the citizens of the state commit to the lifelong engagement of taking care of the feline community that is at the core of the state. in order to provide for the community, they pledge to work exclusively for the benefit of the cats, with the exception of a minimum self-maintenance required to keep their own being in acceptable and functional conditions. this is not only a form of deference but also a vital as a guarantee that they will be able to fulfill their duties.

citizenship to the state can be applied for. main requirement will be being able to take care for the cats. a special committee of veteran cat ladies will review all applications and rule case by case. individuals of all sexes can apply for citizenship. please refer to the documentation for rules and requirements.

why do personal rights have to be surrendered? the answer is simple. giving up rights is a necessary evil in order to maintain the felines well-fed and taken care of. which means it is necessary to keep the state running.

humans who will not comply will be condemned to become living scratching boards (the duration of the punishment is dependent on the gravity of the guilt).

cats bring both happiness and misery. join the league of the eternally committed cat ladies. join the utopian state of pussyfoot.
