This paper analyzes the entangled relationship between feline divinanimality and extraterrestrial ontology, which has spawned a New Religious Movement (NRM) called Lyran Starseeds, centered upon a human-feline interspecies coevolution and exogenesis. Alongside offering a detailed exposition of this new intergalactic creature exotheology, I will also analyze the many ways it has been inspired by historical feline veneration and contemporary science fiction film and literature. I shall argue that both offer Lyran Starseeds an epistemological framework to situate and legitimize their intergalactic feline ontology
