So, a part of me that I’m still trying to fit into my day-to-day life is my kitty side. Having experimented with D/s and BDSM I have found that the pet play aspect to those lifestyles is the one that I enjoy most. However, D and I have a vanilla relationship, and truth be told, I wouldn’t change that for the world. Yet at the same time, there are times when I just want to roll on my back and bat at a ball of string.

Why do I like to be a kitty sometimes? Well, mostly ‘cuz it’s just plain old fun! Being able to, even if for a minute or two, let go of the real world and worry about nothing but batting a toy, or curling up and napping is for me, nothing but a darn good stress reliever!

Why kitty and not puppy or something else? Well, honestly I’ve always been a cat person, rather than a dog person. Plus, my first D/s BDSM experience was as a submissive kitten, so that sort of locked it in, I think. As it was a very positive experience.

There’s so many directions one can take kitty play (and pet play in general) to. It can be for punishment, if you’re in a D/s relationship. You can simply wear ears and a tail and mewl a few times. Or, you can take it to an extreme of your choosing from training (this is often more in the realms of pony play) to using a litter box. In my opinion, all of them have appeal.

There’s perhaps a couple parts that really speak out to me. First namely being the originality of it. It’s one of those sub-groups inside of a sub-group, ya know? Plus, there’s the challenge of finding “gear” for it. From ears to tails to toys to human sized cat furniture. But ultimately, there are times I simply like to crawl up the stairs, look at D, say “mew!” and then get up and go about whatever it was I was going up the stairs for. Plus, I love the look he gets on his face when I purr if he’s stroking my hair or something.

My kitty side is one that I’ve shared with few people. It’s intensely personal for me, something that I at time will “revert” to if the goings get rough. It’s almost a way for me to express myself when I’m at a loss for words or actions. Curling up with my ears on and going to my mental kitty-space can be a way for me to back off from a situation and look at it from different points of view.

Perhaps I was a cat in a past life? LOL I don’t think I could ever articulate it exactly. But, I do think that it’s my form of the child inside, something that I think we all need. Perhaps yours is a puppy, or it’s found in a Barbie or Erector-set you have stashed in the back of your closet. Either way, it’s important so I say: nourish it and let that side run free!
