🚨 A Mutiny Most Fowl — Fur Flies at 10,000 Feet! 🐐🐾🐦

The cat’s in a waistcoat. The goat’s lost control. The raven’s clearly in on it.

Just another quiet moment aboard the airship. Nothing to see here.

Thank you, Kenneth Earl Fletcher, for the idea.

Entry Summary:

Submitted without context, yet somehow perfectly understandable.

This latest entry features a tabby cat in full steampunk attire (waistcoat and goggles, naturally) staging what appears to be a mid-air mutiny against an anxious goat at the helm. A raven provides enthusiastic aerial support. It’s unclear what caused the feline-led rebellion, but judging by the goat’s expression, this was not on the flight plan.

The phrase “Mutiny Most Fowl” was suggested by a regular follower who imagined the chaos of a raven and a cat teaming up to overthrow a goat pilot. Naturally, we obliged.

No actual animals were harmed. The goat probably had it coming.

A detailed, sepia-toned illustration in a steampunk style. A cat in a pilot's uniform and goggles stands on the left, its paw raised and claws extended, confronting a startled goat in a suit and goggles who is gripping a wooden ship's wheel. A large, dark bird with its wings spread is swooping down from the upper left. The background shows the ropes and fabric of an airship's balloon, and some clouds.

The Raven-Cat Mutiny (also known informally as “A Mutiny Most Fowl”) refers to a widely circulated steampunk meme depicting a feline-led insurrection aboard a dirigible.
Accounts vary, but most versions involve a waistcoated tabby cat, a helpful raven, and a bewildered goat attempting to retain control of the airship’s helm. While traditionally viewed as a lighthearted affair, some historians have argued that the incident marks a turning point in airborne animal diplomacy.
Interpretations differ as to whether the event constitutes an actual mutiny or simply an aggressive redistribution of navigational responsibility.
The event is now commemorated annually aboard some airships with ceremonial squawking, theatrical paw-pointing, and biscuits withheld without explanation.
