It is not me. She was referring to a character (with the same name). I am not in that photo.

49) SC1454, current time, the drones of the national front and the royalists are still fighting a civil war on the uninhabited Sans.
[1] Note - Year 1450 since the aliens started using the space calendar. The alien year is split into 10,000 hours. There is no concept of days, minutes, seconds, etc., only hours.
[2] The alien language uses little punctuation, instead different colors and colored outlines are used. But, I don't know what this says, no idea how to translate it.
[3] The alien drones already have full manufacturing capability. Taking out the plant did not stop them from producing more drones.

Yes. It seems like Cat P can't not piss people off these days. But I don't think this changes things that much.

Most of the small animals that heard about it found the story quite laughable, hopefully that's the end of those bozos.
From Mikey: "It's a very stilted[1] group, they are fading quickly. Hopefully this breaks the back of the whole thing... honestly always found those guys kinda creepy."
[1] unbalanced.
160,000 baby carrots is not a huge amount, but then their scale is different. To a bunch of hikikomori, this amount is unfathomable. Short of begging to another gang, they won't be able to fix it.
From Mr. Sparkles: "Good riddance. I certainly won't miss them."

1) I know the team is being deployed. I don't know how many will actually show up.
People are kinda like 'meh' right now. But we will see.
Give it a chance, wait and see. Not much else to say.
2) No. I am not that narcissistic. Will not engage in self-aggrandizement.

1) On the part of the gang, that is just a cover story. He was not removed for any reason -- other than that he is missing. His status is listed as 'missing in action' and he has not been seen by anyone (gang members or not) since he led his team into combat last July. In short, he might have perished in the action. He might have been captured. He might have escaped and gone underground. His last communication from his radio was an SOS. The Black Bunny Squad claims to have captured him, but this was likely just a ruse in an attempt to try to extort a ransom out of the gang.
2) He is one of Cat P's cronies. Take him seriously at your own risk.

I've gotten a lot of questions on this. I think the best way to say it is that his (Cat P) has been absent from the gang's headquarters in the last month or so, due to his leadership of the expansion party to the south. He has taken most of his cronies with him, leaving him unable to control the gang's operations in their own territory. So a lot of the cats are starting to vie for power in the absence of their leader.
Does this mean the gang's headquarters would likely fall if they were seriously attacked? I don't think any more so than normal.
I also don't believe that Cat P has the ability to work with him, we would have heard something by now if they were working together. And we haven't heard anything.
From Samantha - "It was clear from the beginning. Neither their masters, nor themselves, want anything to do with the neighborhood cat gang. Once he discovered the true nature of the gang, the deal was off. It would be quite surprising if they announced anything along those lines."
---
I cannot answer that. I honestly don't know -- I don't keep track of those things. Seriously people can read her posts and think based on that.
---
It was failing miserably. Most of their cats had deserted and they had only four cats (the original expeditionary force was around 20 cats). Likely wouldn't have held it much longer if Cat P had not joined it.
With Cat P and all his supporters now reinforcing their position, they will more than likely hold out, at least for now. But his support is coming at great cost, not monetary, but in terms of his own power. In the headquarters, in his absence, different groups of cats are vying for power and it remains to see who will come out on top or if they will step down once (or if) he returns.
In the past week there have been several reported sightings of Cat K in the areas around the neighborhood cat gang's headquarters. No one knows if these are real or not, but if he is still around...
