Every false accusation, in chronological order, from the birth of one (1) ordinary cat to the heat-death of the universe, at which point the subject will remain, regrettably, NOT A FURRY.
On an unremarkable morning, somewhere warm, a small green cat with round glasses came into existence. It had four legs, two ears, one tail, and zero opinions on anthropomorphic conventions. It was a cat. The record is unambiguous on this point.
File NAF-0001 · species: cat (confirmed)A separate, unrelated human being is born in Portugal. He is measured at birth and found to possess no tail, no snout, and no whiskers. Doctors confirm he is a regular person. This will later be considered, somehow, controversial.
File NAF-0002 · appendages: standard issueA standing question, "is green a furry thing," was referred to a panel of three adults and one paint chip. After deliberation, they ruled that green is, and has always been, a color, available to grass, traffic lights, and cats alike. The finding was unanimous and slightly insulting to have to make.
File NAF-0004 · green: color (confirmed) · implication: noneIn a moment of innocent aesthetic preference, tiago selected an image of a green cat in round glasses for his online avatar. He did this because he liked it. That is the entire reason. There is no second reason. Stop looking for one.
File NAF-0007 · intent: vibes onlyThe first recorded use of the word "fursona" in proximity to the cat occurred at a reasonable hour, by someone who meant no harm. tiago replied, evenly, that it is a profile picture of a cat, that he did not draw it, and that he does not have a "sona." The correction was accepted. The word was logged. We knew, even then, that it would not be the last time.
File NAF-0010 · term: "fursona" · correction: issuedAt 3:14 AM, one (1) anonymous individual typed the words "wait are you a furry" into a chat box and pressed enter. The accusation was baseless. It was also the beginning of everything. We have not slept since.
File NAF-0014 · accuser: blocked & forgiventiago typed four words, "no, I am not," and pressed send. The denial was clear, polite, and entirely correct. The accuser read it, paused for eleven seconds, and replied "so you ARE." This exchange would become the template for every conversation that followed, forever.
File NAF-0019 · denial: clear · effect: nilWhat started as one query became ten. Ten became forty. By month's end the inbox required a content warning. Each message was a variation on the same false premise. None of them had read the affidavit. None of them ever do.
+412 File NAF-0061 · growth rate: alarmingFor one tense afternoon the timeline trembled: a witness reported "highly suspicious behavior" from the subject's cat. An emergency review was convened. Findings: the cat had knocked a cup off a table, stared at a wall, and then slept. This is, the Department clarified, what cats do. Scandal retracted. Cat exonerated. Cat unbothered.
File NAF-0072 · scandal: retracted · cup: lostFaced with an unmanageable backlog of false claims, tiago established a dedicated bureau with a single mandate: deny, document, and deny again. Staff: one man and a cat. The cat does not contribute, on account of being a cat.
File NAF-0100 · charter: ratified, notarized, framedNo serious bureau may operate without a seal, so one was designed: a cat, rampant, holding a tiny gavel, encircled by the motto NEGAMUS ("we deny"). Heralds noted the cat is depicted with no fursuit, by deliberate and legally significant choice. The seal was embossed onto everything within reach, including, briefly, the cat.
File NAF-0124 · seal: embossed · motto: NEGAMUSTo formalize its central role, the cat was offered the position of Chief Witness for the Defense. The cat acknowledged the appointment by yawning, turning around once, and lying down on the paperwork. This was recorded as enthusiastic acceptance. It has held the post, immovably, ever since.
File NAF-0151 · appointee: cat · tenure: permanentTo settle the matter with science, the Department commissioned a precision instrument calibrated to detect furriness to four decimal places. On first power-up it pointed firmly at zero, beeped twice, and has refused to move ever since. Engineers checked the wiring. The wiring is fine.
File NAF-0188 · reading: 0.00% (±0.00%)The Department's first public-facing document was authored in a single sitting, fueled by spite and one coffee. It opens with the central finding in letters large enough to be read from orbit. Visitors would later arrive, read it in full, and ask the question anyway. We anticipated this. We were correct to.
File NAF-0205 · page: index.html · clarity: maximumAcross forty-one numbered clauses, tiago swore under oath, before a notary and the cat, that he is not now, nor has he ever been, a furry. The notary was satisfied. The cat blinked slowly, which is, legally, cat for "correct."
File NAF-0231 · clauses: 41 · perjury: noneThe subject of the entire dispute, photographed under controlled lighting, presented to the court without commentary. Note the glasses. Note the greenness. Note the complete and total absence of a fursuit. The defense rests.
File NAF-0240 · exhibit: A · status: still just a cat
Tired of explaining the same words in different rooms, the Department compiled a glossary defining "furry," "cat," "color," and "no." Each definition was checked twice and signed off by the dictionary, metaphorically. Readers were encouraged to consult it. Statistically, they did not.
File NAF-0266 · entries: many · misreadings: anticipatedAfter eleven hours of deliberation, three recesses, and one juror who simply wanted to pet the cat, the court reached its conclusion. The gavel fell. The room held its breath. It was the longest pause in the Department's history.
File NAF-0299 · jurors: 12 · cat appearances: 1The verdict was read aloud, embossed, laminated, and hung above the Department's only desk. Three words, legally binding across all jurisdictions and at least two parallel timelines. The matter was, in principle, closed. In practice, it was not.
File NAF-0300 · verdict: CERTIFIED · appeals: deniedWord of the verdict drew a small press corps expecting a story. The Department offered them the full record, the meter reading, and a brief, supervised audience with the cat. The cat looked at them. They looked at the cat. The resulting coverage was accurate, brief, and faintly disappointed that there was no twist.
File NAF-0321 · outlets: present · twist: noneUnsatisfied with a finding they had not read, the public collectively demanded a retrial. The Department reviewed the request, confirmed the cat was still a cat, and built an appeals form whose only outcome is the word DENIED, rendered large and red. It remains, by some margin, our most-used feature.
File NAF-0344 · appeal: received · outcome: DENIEDDespite a public verdict, a calibrated meter, and a sworn affidavit, accusation number one thousand was filed by someone who opened with "ok but hear me out." We did not hear them out. There is nothing to hear out.
1,000 File NAF-1000 · novelty: zeroFriends, neighbors, and one delivery driver were called to describe the subject. They reported a normal man who owns a cat, likes the color green, and sighs a lot lately. Asked directly whether they had ever observed a tail, ears, or paws, all witnesses answered no, and several asked why we kept needing to confirm this.
File NAF-1422 · witnesses: many · fursuits observed: 0Accusation ten thousand was identical to accusation nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine, which was identical to the first. The Department considered framing it as an artifact of remarkable consistency, then remembered that consistency in being wrong is just being wrong, repeatedly.
10,000 File NAF-10000 · originality: decliningWhat began as a denial became a document, and the document became a creed. The Manifesto sets out, in firm and somewhat tired prose, the founding principle of the Department: a man may love a green cat without being legally transformed into wildlife. It is moving. It should not have to exist.
File NAF-2200 · pages: several · necessity: tragicAt great expense, third-party investigators searched every wardrobe, drawer, and suspicious cardboard box in the subject's residence. Items found: clothes, a vacuum, regret. Items not found: a single paw, ear, or tail of any kind.
File NAF-2050 · fursuits located: 0 · vacuums: 1To reduce repeat inquiries, the Department codified its central finding into a single ordinance, printed on every page, ticker, and footer of this establishment. Reading it is mandatory. Believing it is, apparently, optional.
File NAF-3000 · ordinance: ratified · compliance: lowAt a customs desk in a country we will not name, an official examined the subject's profile picture and asked, with great seriousness, to declare any "animal personas." A diplomatic note was exchanged. The Department forwarded the affidavit in three languages. The matter de-escalated. The cat never left the country. The cat has never left the apartment.
File NAF-4108 · incident: international · resolution: paperworkA commemorative plaque was considered, then declined, on the grounds that celebrating it would imply we found it remarkable. We do not. It is the same accusation as the first one, just with more confidence and worse spelling.
100,000 File NAF-100000 · plaque: declinedAt the height of the matter, several accusers pledged a formal apology should the subject ever be cleared. The subject was cleared, exhaustively, in writing, under oath, by meter and by court. The Department keeps a small reserved space for the apology on its homepage. The space remains, like the cat's patience, empty of fur and full of waiting.
File NAF-100501 · apology: pending · forever: probablyAccusation one million was filed by a brand-new account whose first and only action was to ask if the green cat made the subject a furry. The Department admired the focus, denied the claim, and noted that a person had joined an entire platform exclusively to be wrong about this.
1,000,000 File NAF-1000000 · accuser: brand new · purpose: singularFiled on a Tuesday, at 4:52 PM, by a stranger who had clearly not visited a single page of this website. The Department logged it, denied it, and returned to its lunch. The cat, present throughout, remained a cat.
1,847,293 File NAF-1847293 · response time: instant · response: noFor the avoidance of all remaining doubt, the central exhibit was photographed a second time and re-submitted, unchanged. Same glasses. Same green. Same lack of fursuit. The court confirmed it was looking at a cat. We are aware this is the same image. That is, in fact, the entire point.
File NAF-2401 · exhibit: B · delta from Exhibit A: 0.00%
In a final attempt at efficiency, the Department pre-answered every accusation ever filed and arranged them on a single page. "But the cat?" Yes, it is a cat. "But green?" A color. "But the glasses?" An accessory, on a cat. Visitors read the answers, nodded, and asked the questions anyway. We left the page up out of optimism.
File NAF-5000 · questions: pre-answered · effect: pendingAs of this very second, with the meter reading zero, the verdict still hanging, and the cat still being a cat, the subject remains entirely and unremarkably not a furry. Refresh the page if you'd like. The number will not change.
File NAF-NOW · live status: NOT A FURRYForecasting models, consulted at considerable cost, project with 0.00% margin of error that the subject will continue to not be a furry through every conceivable timeline, including the ones with dragons. The cat will be a cat in all of them.
File NAF-∞ · forecast: not a furry foreverWhen the stars have gone cold and the last instrument flickers out, the Furry-O-Meter will take its terminal measurement and find what it has always found. The verdict will outlast the universe. The cat, by then, will simply be a memory of a cat. Even the memory will not be a furry. Case closed. It was always closed.
