Question about the Cat races

[MeniliteZ]

Cats believe they are gods.

Should the Cat races be Spiritual?

Reasoning: Can a Spiritual race worship itself? Would cat races want to?

It can. "Metaphysical Solipsism" is the word for self-worship. It's different from "narcissism" in that it's not so much a feeling of love for oneself, but a belief that the self is all that there is, and everything in the world is merely a projection from it.

[Sabaithal]

Fanatic authoritarian, minor spiritualist, decadent hierarchy

[Magma Dragoon]

Cats demand open borders with every empire

[mss73055]

Cat social behaviour appears heavily influenced by human presence, even in feral groups.

Towards humans cats show psychopathic behaviour.
Among cats the females sport all kinds of hierarchical structures, constantly disrupted by interactions with humans.

I'd classify cat society as: Stellar shock, stability -20.
Autocratic, xenophobe, possibly genocidal.

They are clearly fanatic purifier.

Imagine trying to conduct diplomacy with a race whose comms officers only sit on the keyboard.

Wouldn't they be isolationists? Want nothing to do with you, till you get something they want.

definitely not
walk wherever they want, eat, kill, sleep

Syncretic Evolution, Pompous Purists, and Oppressive Autocracy.

Well. If my Cat had its own empire. They would drain the ocean of all other empires. Because 'My water' is clearly 'Their water'

[Oakshadow]

Cats are a female dominated culture that is heavily territorial. But also playful. They will actively seek a stand off by going into each other's territories. That's their idea of fun. Put a food dish in front of them and suddenly they're all best friends.

For an empire I'd use Militant / authoritarian / Xenophile. For species traits I'd use decadent, along with intelligent and maybe conformist, as they're creatures of immense habit and rigid social structure.
For civics you go hedonistic, and noble...... Then set default rights for everyone else to resident as we're all just guests enjoying their world at their leisure.

You should try playing with the Gigastructural Engineering mod, there is a Katzenartig Empire. They defininitely worship themselves but they are quite friendly.
There are Blokkats, too.

They are somewhat challenging to face. You need fleet sizes about 2x what you are used to (on a logarithmic scale). Definitely recommended if you like playing casual with more structures to build.

Cats are not hedonistic, on the contrary.
I don't dare to write in Steam how a male cat must hurt the female to have her bear kittens.
Read it up on wikipedia.
