I’d like to write something.  I’m not particularly good at drawing.  (My instagram is jvgreendarmok if you want to see some examples of my writing and drawing)

Also, on that note felis sapiens are especially aliens. Not only has no “current era” cat person ever had Earth as a home (and it’s unlikely any of them other than Felix have been there at all), that’s true for the entire species throughout history. Felis sapiens aren’t “from Earth”, they’re from Red Dwarf.

For all the talk that Red Dwarf went downhill when it “started” introducing GELFs and whatnot as a way of getting around their “no aliens” rule… this started in the very first episode with the introduction of the Cat… and established a precedent for other distant descendants of Earth creatures to crop up throughout the series.

It’s also notable that “Waiting for God”, the episode that seemingly lays down the “no aliens” rule with Lister’s line about “There’s just you, me, the Cat, and a load of […] rocks”, also establishes that there’s a whole ark full of Cat People out there.  I get that the episode’s “A” and “B” plots are meant to be thematically linked (blind faith, self-delusion, so what else is new), but they fit kind of awkwardly together when one of them is based on the premise that there is no other life out there, and one of them is based on the premise that there is other life out there.
