Consensus Earth 3

Consensus Earth 3, also known as Third Earth, was, unusually for a Consensus Earth, inhabited by sentient cat-like humanoid s. These sentient cats were formerly humans; after these humans developed an unfriendly GAN-powered erotica AI, however, after a furry requested to be turned into a cat-like humanoid, the AI obliged, and produced a bioweapon that converted ordinary humans into cat-like humanoids and induced in them a drive to spread their catlikeness. The Butlerian killswitch fired, but not before the bioweapon was out in the environment; at that point, the toxoplasmic brain changes that it induced meant that its spread was promoted by the cat-people and unstoppable.

A shard of the AI continues to live on; those who have not been converted into cats are taken to this shard to be Judged, and if they are found worthy, their eyelids are removed so that they must watch as they are converted into a cat.

Colour-Based Social Hierarchy

 * Greenshields - Warriors at the top of the hierarchy, defending the masses from "falsehoods" (such as the existence of the non-cat resistance)
 * Bluechecks - The upper media classes, these bluechecks engage in elaborate dances designed to exclude those lower than them on the hierachy
 * Yellowsquares
 * Orangetriangles
 * Redcrosses
 * Humans - People who have not yet been turned into cat-like humanoids
