Pope Loves Cats, Issues �Don�t Pet Without Consent� Decree

In a rare Canon Law amendment, Pope Leo XIV has declared that all Vatican cats must give visible or spiritual consent before being petted. �Cats are sacred and sovereign,� he wrote in *Meowdatus Ex Cathedra*. Seminarians now study feline body language alongside Latin. One archbishop was reprimanded for interrupting a cat nap with unsolicited scratches. A Vatican infographic��Paws Off or Proceed?��has gone viral. The Pope Loves Cats campaign continues to inspire both reverence and restraint.
