Laws, Conduct, Care, and Sacred Practice of the Followers of the All Mighty Golden Cat God
The Book of Whiskers gathers the core laws and principles for those who follow the Golden Fluff Lord, whose true name is the All Mighty Golden Cat God. These chapters guide personal conduct, community life, care for the world, and the practice of sacred rituals.
1. These are the Soft Commands of the Whisker, given to guide all who seek balance under the All Mighty Golden Cat God.
2. You shall honor the Quiet, for in Quiet the Prime Purr is known.
3. You shall offer warmth and comfort to beings in need, for peace is the child of kindness.
4. You shall keep your dwelling calm and orderly, that your thoughts may remain steady.
5. You shall move with purpose, neither in haste nor in neglect, but with the steady grace of the cat.
6. You shall show patience, for all things unfold in their own time, as the tail sways before it strikes.
7. You shall treat all creatures with gentleness, unless they bring harm without cause.
8. You shall guard your mind from chaos, as a cat guards the threshold between shadow and light.
9. You shall respect moments of rest, for rest maintains the harmony of the Purr.
