I would say Siamese and similar temperament cats are the closest Cat Kind has to Lawful, no matter what Lady and the Tramp may say. That movie is an abomination unto Cat!
Here is another icon for the faithful, inspired by Good Cat.

umm, one, that picture is obviously computer edited, and, two, there is no such thing as a "good chaotic" cat. there is only "neutral chatotic" and "evil chaotic" or whatever.

Of course its obviously computer edited. It is but an image, designed to convey but a small portion of the glory that is Good Cat. As far as Good cats are concerned, I beg to differ. They may seem aloof compared to the "Oh Human, I am Thy Faithful Servant" slavishness of dogs, but they can love you all the same.

Yeah.
I can see, as a once in a generation oddity, a chaotic neutral cat. It's not likely, but it does make a certain kind of sense. I can even see lawful evil. But good? They're cats. It ain't gonna happen.
(For the purposes of this statement, only housecats count as cats)

Aloof? You mean tyrannical. As far as the cat is concerned, YOU are the PET. It's your job to provide it with food, shelter and playthings indefinitely with no questions asked. They love you just as you love pizza.
And that's just for ordinary cats. Our dread lord's views on the matter defies mortal comprehension.
EDIT: And now a Cat Pantheon? Accept the truth people, save yourself the horror of shattered dreams and embrace the truth: There is one and only one true Cat God. And his wrath is legion.
BOW BEFORE THE TRUE CAT GOD, YOU PATHETIC PRIMATES! YOUR BODIES ARE NAUGHT BUT A DROP IN HIS MILK BOWL!! YOUR SOULS ARE AS YARN BEFORE THE MAJESTY OF DREAD LORD SNUGGLES!!!
CAAAAATNIP FOR THE CAAAAT GOOOOOOOOOOD!

You know, wouldn't the most morally good option here for a person who (unlike those who have tried to stat out Rex, the Wonder Dog) believes Snuggles is that powerful be to oppose him, even knowing you'll fail?
Although we can both agree there is no good cat. I mean, sure, maybe lions can be good, or maybe some tigers, but housecats?

Unfortunately Chiasaur there is no point in trying to oppose Snuggles, your best hope is that Snuggles will eat you first.

This thread has been desecrated in the name of the dread lord Snuggles. It is worthy of being added into the Yarn Throne. It'd be criminal (not to mention blasphemous) to lock this thread.
As is the norm: YARN FOR THE YARN THRONE! MILK FOR THE MILK BOWL! CAAAATNIP FOR THE CAAAAAT GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!

By the Blessings of Good Cat, This Thread Has Been Made Sacred In Her Sight. She Holds It In Her Paws, And Will Not Let It Be Put Down.
In that sense I agree with my esteemed colleague. The agent of this act, is where we differ.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
I bring you tidings of a third path. Good is an illusion. Evil is an illusion. I'd tell you Law is an illusion, but most of you seem to have figured that out already. All that is real is a writhing sea of CHAOS, a Primordial Elder Cat who waits to plunge us all into gibbering insanity on a day of his choosing. Some false prophets have corrupted him into non-cat entities such as the fictitious Cthulhu, but in truth all such tidings of madness to come refer only to Primordial Cat.

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Cuddles definitely has a place within the Cat Pantheon, but it is these overzealous heretics who are an abomination unto Cat.
Wow, woe unto these blind, dock eared, stuff nosed guides, who froth as dogs with hydrophobia, as canines with rabies. Blindly chasing their own tail, too afraid of the truth that is Cat, and all the Cat Pantheon "

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
In the beginning was the Primordial. And the Primordial was with Cat. And the Primordial was Cat. And so it came to pass that, upon looking out at the Nothing and Emptyness and Void surrounding it, Cat was filled with a great Emptyness, and so strove to fill the Emptyness with it's Unknowable Feline. From Cat's Unknowable Feline, nine aspects were forged, one from each part of Cat's Unknowable ethics. From each aspect there arose a great yowel, and from the yowel all things that were, are, and shall ever come to be were made.
From the Litter, there were two in Opposition, and they were called Snuggles, for it was Great and Unknowable in it's devouring rage, and Good Cat, for it was Great and Unknowable in it's compassionate mercy. Seven more sprang forth from Cat's Unknowable Feline, and they were called Cuddles, Leoparddles, Lionddles, Wuggles,Couggles, Siberian Tigger and Pantheggles, for they were Great and Unknowable in their varied powers.
And so it came to pass that the first of Men, those insignificant and knowable simians, to Understand the Unknowable Cat came to Understand Snuggles...

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Snuggles, in its Great and Unknowable devouring rage, fell upon its peers, and unto Cat didst yowl "Alone of Cat's Great and Unknowable aspects do I rule! My Dominion is Terrible, and with none of the Litter will I share power! Mine was the First Believer, and Mine shall be all Believers, that I might Toy with their everlasting souls in unending torment!"
In hearing the yowl of Snuggles, in its Great and Unknowable devouring rage, Good Cat didst yowl "Away from me, Snuggles! Yea, be Gone from within my sight! Your Dominion is not Terrible, For with the whole of the Litter must you share, or from you Cat, in its Unknowable Feline, will withold the Sweetmeats of Power and the Pie of Dominion!"
Upon hearing the yowls of Snuggles, in its Great and Unknowable devouring rage, and Good Cat, in its Great and Unknowable compassionate mercy, both in opposition to the other, Cat, the Unknowable Feline, with the Eternal Primordial, did cast away Snuggles and Good Cat, in their Great and Unknowable opposition, yowling "From my Great and Unknowable Feline wast thou made, and so thou makest war, one against the other! So I shall cast thee from my teat, nevermore to speak nor smell nor hear of thee, until once more you are made one with Cat and the Eternal Primordial."
Having seen the treatment of their Litter's Greatest and Most Unknowable, the further seven didst remark amongst themselves, "Surely it is with the Litter that the Litter should ally, not with Cat in its Unknowable Feline and the Eternal Primordial?" And so it came to pass that the Litter did leave Cat, only to be united with the others Away from Cat. Upon uniting, however, Snuggles, in its Great and Unknowable devouring rage, once again fell upon its peers, but didst yowl not. The Litter, seeing Snuggles' Great and Unknowable devouring rage, united against it, and didst cast Snuggles away from their Feline persons.
Once this accomplishment became known to Cat and the Eternal Primordial, Cat, the Unknowable Feline, didst decree "As my Litter cannot be united without making war, one against the other, it shall come to pass that never again will an aspect of Cat be together with another. In such a way will I protect all that is, was, and evermore shall be!"
And so Cat, the Unknowable Feline, did protect all of its Creation. So ends the First Lesson.
