The Head of State is placed in awkward situations. You do
not need to meet anyone (see here: source
and here: source),
but you’re also the representative of your country, and thus shouldn’t get
involved politically. It causes controversy (source),
especially when your son is arranging various deals (source)
and is trying to sell his house during international trade missions (source).

This issue is even greater when you’re Head of State of over
50 nations (source).
It’s difficult to represent all of them.
So what advantage would the Cat Queen model have in this
regard? Quite a few. No-one can accuse a cat of being politically motivated (as,
we are all aware, they are above politics). Even better, they don’t interfere
in votes and elections (source).
Cats are also less likely to engage in racial slurs (source).

The Cat Queen model would usher in the age of ‘Diplomeowcy’, where the tension around an international meeting is reduced with a friendly photo and a shared experience, that of petting a furry friend. Such a simple thing helps to solidify that we are all people, despite of our differences, which is the primary purpose of diplomacy.
What other situations would be improved by having a cat as Head
of State? Write your thoughts in the comments below.
