Well if it leads to his removal you could save a hell of a lot of lives. Presuming that a totalitarian system doesn't come up with someone even worse. Or stay in such a deranged mode for longer - i.e. continues after the initial communist emperor who replaces Mao dies.

Why would random meowing be cause for removal, though? He's still able to speak normally, albeit with meowing having become his new verbal tic. Plus, given what a bloodthirsty madman Mao remains, perhaps it's best that his underlings pretend not to notice. Never mind how precarious it'd be to try and remove him from power outright.

I did say may. Its an oddity in a very conformist society and coupled with his other characteristics could prompt a successful move against him. True he's a very dangerous man but that's the case for every totalitarian autocrat.

Well, I suppose so long as public optics are against Mao and supportive of those who remove him. On the flip side, maybe someone from the Gang of Four comes to prominence and wrecks havoc that Mao won't be in a position to impose ITTL.

Unless people were looking at the time, and they would probably just think their made an error would anyone actually notice?

A handful of observant and/or conspiratorial ones, maybe. Otherwise, I doubt it’ll have much effect on the everyday lives of the vast majority of people going about their usual business.
