Red Dwarf/Cat Religion
From The TV IV
Mundane details of Dave Lister's life, distorted by three million years, became the cornerstones of the cat religion, which was taught to young cats in "kitty school".
- Lister's cat, Frankenstein was the Holy Mother from which all cats are descended.
- Lister's ordeal in the stasis chamber is chronicled as: The Holy Mother who was saved by Cloister the Stupid, who was frozen in time and gaveth of his life that we might live.
- Lister's plan to return to Earth and buy a farm on Fiji becomes: ... who shall returneth to lead us to Fuscha, the promised land.
Here are a few tidbits from Holly's translation of the cat Holy Book:
- And Cloister spake, lo I shall lead you to Fuscha, and there we shall open a temple of food, wherein shall be sausages, and savory doughnuts, and all manner of bountiful things ...
- And those who serve shall wear hats of great majesty, yea though they be made of coloured cardboard and have humourous arrows through the top.
- The cat civilization polarized and fought wars over what colour the hats should be: red or blue. Most of them were killed.
- They eventually worked out a truce. Each faction built an arc and left Red Dwarf, leaving the old and the stupid behind (which included Cat's father).
- The Red arc followed the sacred writings and flew straight into an asteroid.
- The Blue arc flew ever onwards.
