i’m a young woman. i’ve always had cats as a favorite animal. I even feel like i’d be soulmates with a cat, like they’re my spirit animal. Maybe like a dæmon of some sort. i really want to be a “catgirl” and have some aspects of a cat. I start by, when I feel really cutesy, I tend to feel more like a playful kitten and I say “meow”. I love cats. I know i’m not one, but i wanna be like one.
People close to me use the term “therian” for what is colloquially called “furry”.
Disclaimer: this is not a diagnosis or suggestion of one.
These feelings about topics are pretty common in the neurodivergent/autistic community and are called “special interests” in our sphere. So “Cats/animals special interest” might be a helpful search query?
Look up the term otherkin. Might resonate with you.
Thanks!!
