That's been done. I belong to this (worldwide) group of cat lovers (and dog lovers too ... we do have some of those). We have had an email list for about 15 years now.
We make up all sorts of adventures for our cats and dogs. For example, my cat, Newton, hijacked a "toona bote" and a bunch of the cats went out to sea looking for the "Cadbury Monster." Now, the CM was a huge brown sea serpent who laid lovely chocolate eggs, once a year around Easter time.
And, on the boat, there was a kitty named Pauline, who liked to dress up in gold lame spandex (I didn't say I had any control over these adventures ... someone would just start one, and everyone else would put in whatever his or her cat or dog was going to add to the action). She (as I recall) was the one who eventually dove overboard and took down the monster single pawed.
Anyway, after the trip, they all repaired to my house where they had a barbeque of Cadbury steaks washed down with Nip Wine. And ... they trashed the house.
But, I digress ... I have been listed as a saint in the Temple of Bastet. "Saint Auntie Ricky of the Many Cats" ... that's my formal title.
I used to do illustrations for some of the adventures, and for the Fur Ball each year (on the date of the Jellical Moon). The one below I did years ago to commemorate Winston escorting his little sister Allison to her very first Fur Ball. He's wearing the eyepatch because one eye was shot out before I got him. They had a great time ... Winston dancing with his beloved Miranda, and Allison with her handsome Kitsu.
Oh, man .... that was one of the best Fur Balls ever.
And, if I ever lapse into "meowchat" (which sounds a bit like the stuff at LOL cats) then you'll all just have to bear with me.
Fangu, furry mush.
