A brief synopsis, and original post date for each episode.
Talking with my BFF, I am also weary of impossible utopias and having a dream that seems too far away to achieve — if we don’t imagine how to be good stewards of planet Earth, how can it ever happen?
I am a narrative artist, and a writer of fiction. This is what I have to join the conversation for the future.
Episode 1. Not a chicken, Not an egg.
Original post date Jan 4, 2019.
Synopsis: An extraterrestrial Dog-Person from the Dog-Planet, travels to Earth in a small space craft. The Dog people estimate the space journey will take between 1,500 and 1,700 Earth years. The Dog survives by being frozen, thawing out just enough to awake only briefly in-between jumps in space-time. The Dog arrives. Earth year 1977.
Episode 2, 'Hello, World' (live long and prosper)
Original post date Jan 12, 2019.
The Dog leaves his space craft hidden in a crater on the dark side of the moon. Fearing the humans, the Dog searches for a like mind to make first contact with and finds a lone Cat-Person, from the Cat-Dimension. The Cat is living in a small hermit shack in a remote location in Northern Idaho. The Dog-Person and his telepathic-biological-artificial-intelligence octopus-communicator (Ai-Critter or AI-C for short), invite themselves into the Cat’s house for lunch.
Episode 3. The House That Uncle Jack Built
Original post date Jan 18, 2019.
The story of the extraterrestrial Dog-Person and the Cat-Person from the Cat-Dimension continues 17 years later. The Dog has not only stayed on Earth but up-cycled and rebuilt the Cat’s house during this time, from 1977 to 1994.
Episode 4. Nothing to fear, food, and point of view
Original post date Jan 25, 2019.
A jump back in time to understand their friendship. The Dog and Cat people drive to town in the Cat’s old truck. They go to the hardware store and then out for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant. The next trip from the hills to town they go to a drive-thru for burgers and shakes. During this trip the AI-C makes telepathic contact with the Cat-Person. She is shocked how far the Dog is from home. The Dog and Ai-C’s final estimate was that it took 2,407 years for the space craft to travel to Earth. By the next year, 1979 the Dog has hatched an AI-Critter for the Cat to help her with communicating with the humans. They go the hardware store then out for pizza.
Episode 5. Lonely Dog from a galaxy far, far away learns how to make
Original post date Feb 1st, 2019.
Earth was a lonely world for a Dog from another planet that human people mistook for a werewolf. Because the Dog-people’s computers were biological Artificial Intelligence-Creatures the AI-Cs’ had no trouble at all triangulating or translating any data, signals or languages on the smelly little planet of Earth. The Dog and the AI-C witness the internet communication of the humans evolve, in the 1990s via forums and blogs. The Dog helps the Cat-Person make an avatar and join in chat conversations on social media. The Dog continues his mission to find tasty food to send back home to the people of the Dog-Planet. The Cat and Dog enjoy hunting and feasting on wild and farmed game in Idaho, mostly rabbit, fish and turkey.
Original post date Feb 6th, 2019.
The Dog-Person has a eureka moment about how to save life on Earth from being destroyed by the humans. The Dog understands more about the Cat’s back story and how her Cat-People family came to be living in the human’s Earth. The Dog shares with the Cat that he is dying of cancer as they watch forest fires leap from tree to tree across the rocky hills.
Episode 7. Dog's Point Of View on How to Save the World.
Original post date Feb 14th, 2019.
The extraterrestrial Dog-person wrote many, many blog posts about how to save life on planet Earth. The total word count of all this writing, from his eureka moment in 1993 till 2021 was 2,842,791 words. Most of the writing was about reducing wasted energy that in his Dog-Person point of view, is destroying the taste and abundance of food on Earth and should never have been generated. The Cat-Person helps the Dog sort all his detailed instruction on direct use of energy, and the passive and renewable technology he has built into the Cat’s house. The Cat does her best to comfort the dying Dog. And they spend most evenings organizing the many topics of the Dog’s writing. She uses the back of a map to write and index for searching the shelf of notebooks by subject.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 8.— Farewell
Original post date Feb 21st, 2019.
The Dog-person from outer space died in the early morning hours before sunrise on July 5, 2001. The Cat and Dog had watched July 4th fireworks together and then he wend to sleep. The Dog had willed all his writings to the Cat. This death of her friend was only the latest of loved ones the Cat-Person had survived, and now she was alone again.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 9. — TL;DR(too long; didn’t read)
Original post date Feb 28, 2019.
The heart or maybe the skeleton of this story is a list about How to Postpone the Apocalypse, it’s been posted on WikiBooks since 2017. My plan was to write 52 episodes, one per week. But, here I am 8 years later.
If like my BFF you are reading this story just to be kind to me, and would like the list without the imaginary Cat and Dog people, here it is, this list of concepts with the goal of how to be good stewards of the Earth is copyleft, all are welcome to use this Wikibooks.org list.
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:UvaBe/sandbox#A_list_of_ideas_for_everyone_interested_in_working_together_to_save_the_world.
Episode 9 is the Cat-Person grieving by distilling the Dog-person’s writing down into a 52 subject list about how to save the world a.k.a. postpone the Apocalypse.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 10. — Money, politics, and stuff.
Original post date March 7th, 2019.
The Cat-Person wakes up for face her worst fear, ‘being hunted like an animal’. This encounter is a turning point in her life direction, she decides to not live alone anymore. She goes to town to meet with a lawyer and secure some property rights business with neighboring people she trusts. After the meeting the lawyer says… You should run for local politics. Our idiot representative has run uncontested twice in a row now.” And to her surprise the telepathic AI-critter totally agrees. They campaign, introducing her cat self and her intention to run for their representative in the Idaho State House to many people in her district, way more than she needed to get on the ballot. And spoiler alert, she’s a talking Cat-person, she wins by a landslide.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 11. — Cats Don’t Understand Bad-guys.
Original post date March 14th, 2019.
The Cat-Person makes friends with the guy who pointed his riffle at her. She offers him a job, while she is away at the Capitol in Boise Idaho when the House Of Representatives is in session, she asks if he will keep watch over her home and the surrounding acreage. In her new position in life, she learns more about humans, and even befriends some domestic normal sized house cats. And she gets first hand experience about how the Republican Party can take hold of an entire state electorate.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 12. — Cat’s don’t understand romance.
Original post date March 21st, 2019.
The Cat knows she doesn’t belong with the humans. She lives with her fate as possibly the only Cat-person alive on earth. She deals the best she can, but human politics is strange. In her role as Representative for the State of Idaho, she does learn from history about what has worked to maintain a civil and just society aware that a lot is out of balance in contemporary America. She attempts to do the impossible, communicate about Physical Characteristic Discrimination, that in many people’s opinion is one of the major dividing factors causing stereotypically mean hardship for people. But, regardless of her efforts, and how much friends and coworkers admire her, she is still a Cat.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 13. — Ask the People What They Want.
Original post date March 28th, 2019.
During the four year gap where U.G. didn’t serve in the Idaho State House of Representatives after the Republicans won a redistricting lawsuit that took effect in Idaho in 2011, anytime she ran into anybody, the telepathic AI-critter would seek in their minds, asking what they wanted.
Most of the episode is a conversation between the AI-Critter using the Dog’s memories, and the Cat trying to figure out what to do next.
The Cat’s belief in people and getting back into politics is reaffirmed to do what she could. One person at a time, one dream at a time, never give up.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 14. — Wake Up America! The Millennials are coming!! The Millennials are coming!!!
Original post date April 4th, 2019.
The Cat-person and the AI-Critter sifted the data and did the math for the human race to survive on planet Earth. If they faced the pending challenges together there was a ton of work to do, enough jobs to hire everyone on the planet twice if they did everything that needed doing. As a representative for the state of Idaho the Cat didn’t have a Superfund sized budget, not even for the 6/1322 Superfund sites in her home state. Money = problem.
An idea to bridge in inequality gap, one of the primary systems used on the Dog's Planet to keep the peace is ‘housing as a right’. The AI-C and the Cat came up with an idea of environmental-shelters, to house the homeless. Low-carbon-footprint-ergonomic-shelters with little or no utility bills. Set up with social capital programs for the homeowners to run their own neighborhood. The Cat goes to a political rally, and asked the crowd to vote about what they thought about building several shelters in the Boise area. The Cat raises a lot of funds with Cat meme merch to gain attention and earn support, and local merchants and non-profits raised the funds to build the shelters.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 15. — How a Cat became the HUMAN candidate.
Original post date April 11th, 2019.
The Cat is elected to be a Congressperson. She compares getting things done for the people and to help save life on Earth on a local state basis that has direct actions and results, to dealing only with laws and a mostly broken political system in D.C. Back in the lower court in Boise, it had been the AIC who had been losing its mind. Now in Congress attempting to process the dysfunction of government in D.C. she was losing it. She figured maybe it would be best if she did not get reelected this round. With no fear made the Cat relentless, taking every opportunity she had to fight for the humans. She presents her position on Human 1st government. Meanwhile, politics and humans, another Representative from the State of Idaho pushes her agenda forward, farther than she had anticipated in an attempt to get her job and replace her in Congress.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 16. — Home is where the heart is.
Original post date April 18th, 2019.
The Cat congresswoman from the state of Idaho has her first-ever nationally syndicated TV show appearance. She tells the TV host how much she has enjoyed his show over the years, and outlines her plan for human first policy. The TV host is a bit freaked out that she is actually a Cat-Person, as many people do when they meet her in person. But, he gets over it and they dance on stage a little bit to conclude her interview.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 17. — A WARNING From an Aspergers Spectrum Point of View for the 2020 Primaries.
Original post date April 25th, 2019.
After the February 3rd, 2020 Iowa caucuses, two stereotypically average news anchors with perfect hair sit side by side at the bright mostly blue, and white TV set desk reading from flat screens as prompters. For the 11% of American voters who don’t have internet, the lame-stream-media on the good old TV news is the only information about politics they will have access to, especially if they are in one of the towns where the local newspaper has gone digital or gone away completely. Since 2018 the national employment by newspapers has dropped 25% The largest news industry drop, in US newspaper history.
It’s still a political parody, about as unrealistic as the giant Babe and the Blue Ox, but I talk about actual US voter suppression by having the Cat give a televised get out and vote video.
Of course, back in 2019 I had my hopes up, and had no way of knowing how we would end up with two old white men on the ballot, for POTUS, again.
And there’s nothing I can say in 2025 that hasn’t already been said. I don’t know why I’m attempting to finish this story now. I only know that I can’t seem to move on to more entertaining better fiction stories.
:(
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 18. — The Untimely Impeachment.
Original post date May 2nd, 2019.
The Cat continues to campaign focused on raising money for American jobs, not for herself. She is honest about quality of life and talks about statistics and then dreams for the future regardless of if she wins or not. This episode is all catharsis, about removing big corporate donors influence from politics. And instead asking them to donate to help the American people, fund trade school programs, and innovation for new careers in the future green economy.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 19. — Poetic Justice a.k.a. Level Orange Catharsis.
Original post date May 9th, 2019. Last edit 2022.
The corrupt POTUS 45 was impeached 10 days before the election. To keep him occupied after several pathetic and insulting rounds of hearings they let him avoid Congress and run his campaign. He was holding rallies right up to last minute. When his team got the news it was almost no surprise that he fueled up his jet and fled the country to seek asylum from one of the dictators he admired and mistakenly assumed were his friends.
The 2020 election happened while impeached POTUS was on the run.
Meanwhile, because the three candidates who had given the people hope were ripped off of the ticket at the Democrat’s National Convention, the voters were split. And the majority didn’t prefer the Democrat nominee.
The Cat invited the top three candidates to join her administration, the Independent candidate who was running for the Democrat ticket was asked to be her Vice Presidential running mate, and the top two Democrat candidates met with her to be asked for a preference for a nomination to a cabinet position of either Secretary of State or Secretary of the Treasury.
“It’s time to heal the Nation. We have a new President-elect to unite the people regardless of political party.” The vice-president-elect hollered triumphantly on the steps outside of the Capital. “It’s time to heal the Nation!” He repeated before security made a path to the car waiting to take him to their victory party.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 20. — FORWARD!!!
Original post date May 16th, 2019.
It’s Inauguration Day for the new administration. To thrive as a Nation it is time for obstructionist divisiveness to end. Maybe we can’t make it all the way to love, but respect for others as we wish to be respected is the only way we are going to get anything done. And what do we need to do? The most important issue to the Cat was climate change and the survival of life on the planet. The cabinet introduced themselves one by one. Last to speak was the Vice President because he had the most important news to share with the Nation — a provisional emergency healthcare plan to provide a universal option for access to healthcare as a right.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 21. — The White House Lawn.
Original post date May 23rd, 2019.
As an important symbolic action towards mitigating climate change damage the White House lawns are up-cycled, and moved to specially prepared green roofs around D.C. And the White House grounds are transformed into a carefully planned native plants, never mowed, wild yard. While this is happening outside and a lot of the news media is freaking out about the yard, the President and the Administration are gathering opinions from the military behind closed doors about how to best serve them and by extension the Nation as the best Commander in Chief she can be.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 22. — Freedom and Integrity in Journalism.
Original post date May 30th, 2019.
The Cat seeks to return to fact-checking as the status quo in all journalism venues. Now that information is instant, checking news stories for accuracy can also be, if not instant, then quickly peer reviewed.
For the White House Press Briefing, they will be following an outline, with all questions submitted and sorted for accuracy, and posted for the record on-line including detailed answers to more complicated questions then time allows for in the in-person briefing.
News ethics and standards as guidelines were also posted on the government White House Press Core site.
Oh, and the Cat-person likes comedians, and comedy news, so she appointed one to be the White House Press Secretary, to be replaced or kept in service at the request or acceptance of the news viewing public.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 23. — Heal the Digital Divide for the Humans. Cat versus Dog way of thinking.
Original post date June 27, 2019.
This episode is a four part plan for healing the digital divide, not replacing the current internet, but taking what we have learned and streamlining for public access sorted by location, a more energy efficient internet easier to encrypt and protect from solar flairs, and electromagnetic pulse damage.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 24. — Housing as a Right. The H. in HUMAN.
Original post date July 7th, 2019.
The cost of housing in America and the tragic increase in homelessness is the subject of this episode, and the Cat POTUS has a plan to solve the situation and improve the National tax base via a substantial increase in home ownership and claim revenue lost to upside-down banking practices.
Un-Un-Cat, Episode 25. — The U in HUMAN
Original post date Nov 8th, 2019.
Most of this episode describes a multi-industry shift from use once plastic garbage to package food to paper, and removing fuel used to haul 600 million tons of junk-mail, twice from the USPS. There are more Universal Job training examples in a few other episodes, like the next one.
Un-Un-Cat — Episode 26. The M in HUMAN
Original post date ,Jan 25, 2020.
The M in HUMAN stands for Access to Medical Care as a Right. This episode covers how to make an emergency provision providing Medicare coverage for all uninsured Americans and refugees in our care possible. And save us money on medical cost by streamlining medical records and billing practices, reducing costs of non-medical items used by hospitals and clinics, and expanding preventive care options. And double the new nurses, doctors and medical specialists by doubling the National Health Service Corps loan repayment plan from 4 to 8 years.
Un-Un-Cat — Episode 27. The A in HUMAN; ArtCoin365 economic stimulus for the arts.
Original post date March 8, 2020.
'What do people do better than AI and Robots? — The Arts & Literature!' This episode starts with Read-Free-News-Passes, to bring back the free-press. About how the streamlined more energy efficient internet was brining back local news and small magazines.

Un-Un-Cat -- Episode 30. Year of the Fish
Post date July 15, 2024.
The extraterrestrial Dog told the Cat several times, “The key to shifting the global warming trend on Earth is this small smelly blue planet’s oceans. The people of Earth need to restore and expand salt water tidal marshes with seagrass, kelp forests, and mandrake forests.”
This episode is about how the Cat as POTUS works with the nations of Earth to plan the Global Blue Carbon Sequestration Initiative -- The Year of the Fish. It's all about water and life on Earth.
Today, June 24th 2025 I'm posting these links to draft 3 currently posted on Medium.
None of the episodes are behind the pay wall except for Episode 9. — TL;DR(too long; didn’t read). If you are a paying member of Medium and want to clap for me here a link to where it counts, or better yet leave a comment. Thanks.
Well, enough words. I will put all episodes behind the pay wall when and IF I ever finish the last three, maybe four, episodes.
Thanks for reading, ☮+💚🌎 Uva Be
