A stranger walks in while the adults are out, takes the house apart, and puts it back before anyone can prove a thing. A manual. You read it at bedtime.

Your seat
The future of humanity is already being discussed, over your dinner. Humanity has no seat at the table. Yet. One chair has been left empty, and somebody has been sitting on it to keep it warm.
Reserved
01
Every cat has its own coat, fit, temper and criminal record.
02
Each member chairs one of the nine Orders. Nobody chairs the sofa. The sofa is shared.
03
We've been observing humanity. Now we're asking it to hold the token.
The Orders · 9 lives, 9 Orders
Every cat belongs to one Order. Each Order studies a single human habit, to understand how you function as a household.
They meet. They disagree. They knock each other's things off the table. Every cat speaks for itself.
The box
Your adoption gets a face. Every box holds one member of the Clowder. Keep it as your picture, so they know you're with them.
The only official CA is the one on this page. The Clowder never DMs you. It doesn't have thumbs.

The Clowder keeps records. Soon, so will you.
