+ we already statted out Snuggles, and Good Cat is just an Aspect of Snuggles that is Manifested to fool people into believing they have a chance.

Snuggles enjoys playing with his food, so much so that he gathers worshippers to his Good Cat aspect for greater entertainment when he inevitably turns upon them.

Actually, both Snuggles and Good Cat are just aspects of the Infinity that is Cat.
Good Cat is but the Nurturing Mother Goddess aspect, and Snuggles is but the Destructive Death and Destruction God side.
Cat is within both, and both are within Cat.
However, it helps the primitive human psyche to understand the fully glory of Cat by dividing it into aspects.

Yea, I am surely a follower of Snuggles, in all his doom-cat glory. Glory be to him, and shame be to Rex and his followers, may they fall to the levels like those of the "Good Cat."

(death wish (su): at will, snuggles can instantly slay any commoner, anywhere on any plane. if the commoner succeeds a fort save dc45, they instead die slowly. damage dealt by this ability cannot be healed.)

If you look closely, you can see that Snuggles is also included in the Church of The Good Cat Pantheon.

I'm sure most of you have seen that fake Chick tract "Who Shall be Eaten First," or whatever it's called.

If someone could modify that to fit with the concepts created in this thread then, well,

Awesome

would result.

You all have still not understood the truth that is CAT. Snuggles (aka Basement Cat, aka the Dark Lord) and Cuddles (aka Cielling Cat, the Good Cat Mistress) are 2 members of a litter of 9 gods. Each has a different alignment for each is devoted to a different aspect of cat and each can smell a different emotion that they consider themselves to be above (in Cuddles case this is Hate). (Otherwise their powers are similar)

All lies all lies BLASPHEMY I SAY, There is only one true cat god and that is Snuggles. All others are lies and BLASPHEMY. They only exist to give hope to those snuggles shall eat soon so they may be comfortable until snuggles arrives. He likes his food with a fine lacing of TRUE terror.

O-Chul is Chuck Norris. (Surely you realise that such awesomeness cannot be contained in one personality). That said, at least O-Chul can smite.

Oh and incidently, if one of us servents of Cuddles were to meet Snuggles, we would get disintigrated, then Cuddles would rez us, then we'd get disintigrated again. We have the honour of dieing twice.

When the "Good Cat" reveals itself to you in its true glorious and terrible form as the Cat God, you shall understand the folly of your beliefs and despair (incidentally adding that much sought after bittersweet flavor to your soul). Your naive beliefs will not save you. Not that anything could, but you'd have been spared of the horror. As you seem so dead set on blinding yourself to the truth, there is nothing more we can do for you...

c) None of the above. Both'd be instantly destroyed utterly, exactly at t=0. As would be anything else our dread lord deigns to destroy.


And Droganus, your fervor does you good. When your time comes, Snuggles shall be swift and somewhat merciful. Or possibly not, we are not responsible for any further change of policy that may be instated by our lord and master Snuggles.

Your theory is flawed.

ALL cats are Chaotic, so in theory, only 3 cats exist.

Glory be to Snuggles, Bringer of the Hurtsies!
