Catgirl Politics

Catgirl Politics

In the late 1940's, just after the end of the second World War, a stunning event changed the world forever. A family celebrating the return of their father from overseas as well as the family cat's delivering a litter of kittens made the shocking discovery of a kitten sized baby among the litter. The baby, a girl, had kitten ears and a tiny tail. This phenomena repeated across the globe as common house cats and wild cats alike gave birth to such babies. Religious leaders and scientists alike struggled to explain it while politicians were placed in the position of having to decide what these new beings could even be called.

Fast forward to modern day: The world has mostly adapted to the changes. Catgirls are a regular part of society in many countries, especially Japan where hordes of otaku helped pass the most sweeping legislation protecting their rights. However, things aren't perfect.

The story would mainly focus on four characters (forgive me but I can't decide on their names.): One is a catgirl just starting highschool. Born into a litter of kittens owned by lonely widow, she was raised and loved like a daughter, though the old woman sometimes treats her like a cat too. This girl sees the widow as her grandmother and fully embraces the feline that birthed her as her real mother. Relatively well adjusted, she finds herself the target of an otherwise nice and popular classmate's cruelty and prejudice when she enters highschool, which rapidly erodes her self-confidence. Finding herself drawn to the dashing upperclassman captain of the kendo club, the catgirl highschooler struggles to find the courage to tell him her feelings. But how can she when his beloved little sister is her tormentor?

Another main character is a 37-year-old catgirl who has found herself alone in the world and without a job following the death of her adopted family in a plane crash. Dealing with the harsh realities of lingering prejudice against her for both her race and her gender, she decides to use her remaining inheritance to run for political office on a champaign of more civil-rights for catgirls and economic recovery.

Then there is a young catgirl maid who is employed by a rich otaku and his carrying out an affair with his widower father. Having escaped a hellish existence in decidedly not catgirl friendly France, has she found love or just another form of slavery? Is she merely a servant or something more?

Finally, a more comical character, is the long-suffering catboy punk whose entire life has been one long punch line. Forced to live with a yaoi-obsessed "sister" who keeps him fed and clothed, he's out to prove that catboys do exist! (Only 3 in 100 catperson births were male in the 1950's and the numbers are even lower in modern times with the average being less than 1 in 10000.)

Basically, the story would touch on all kinds of issues and very much a slice of life type story. It would tend toward the personal and the quiet, but with some comedy and fanservice elements as well, the funniest parts being the poor beleaguered catboy. Occasionally, the series would include short arcs from a variety of different countries showing the situation for catgirl's world wide. (Like the brutal wars for independence taking place in Africa and South America, the cruelty and brutal oppression of catgirls in France, the seemingly peaceful coexistence in the US, the rise to power of a catgirl religious leader in China, and so forth.)

Anyway, I can't draw to save my life, but I'd love to pitch this to someone with artistic skills. (Anyone want to help draw it?)
