The Claudandus Sect is the name of a suicidal cult of cats that belongs to their namesake prophet Claudandus whom they also worshipped as both a messiah and a god. Developed by Joker, it's preaching about the sacrifice of Claudandus, revered as a messiah ascended into heaven, and the cerimonial include practices of self-inflicted pain due to electrocution. The sect was run by the feline priest, Joker before he was killed. They are the major antagonists in the 1994 German animated, film noir, mystery movie Felidae and the 1989 crime fiction novel of the same name of which the movie was based on by the German-Turkish writer Akif Pirinçci.

Their Goal

The cult has been designed by Joker and Claudandus to create a diversion to keep the minds of the other cats busy and not let deaths and murders caused by the harsh breeding program for the Felidae Breed to be on public knowledge.

The other main and more important intent was to prepare the feline population before the revelation of the Felidae Breed that, according to Claudandus' plans, had to be the ones to overthrow humanity.

Dissolution

With the death (an arrangement of his own murder) of Joker, the cult suffered the sudden loss of their only priest. Joker's death never became public knowledge and, at the end of the Felidae novel, the cats believed Joker has escaped, to spread his cult in other places.

With the death of Joker and Claudandus, the Felidae breed was quickly adapted into a normal life and the cult of Claudandus was soon abandoned.

Felidae Breed

Felidae Breed is the name of the breed of cats created with an intensive program of selective matings realized by Claudandus. They share a similar sand coloured pelt: under the sun's rays they shine brilliantly like gold. Also their eyes are gold; their features resemble the ones from ancient Egyptian cat deities. Their bodies are slender but physically strong and their insticts are far from the tamed ones of the domestic cats, turning them into ferocious and proud felines.

Known Felines

• Nhozemphtekh
• Chrochoch
• Tragiyahn
• Khromolhkhan
• Iiieahtoph

Electrocution is one of the many well-known dangerous and fatal rituals of the Claudandus Sect in which its cult members ceremonially performed in order to obtain martyrdom and spiritual perfection.

Francis and Bluebeard came upon and attended an "emergency meeting" of all the members of the Claudandus Sect held by (Claudandus).

Trivia

• The Claudandus Sect might or might not share some similarities to the Cult of the Cat from The New Batman Adventures.
