whimsy's pet dreaming diary #10 (pic via pinterest) :3

sigh... as funny (and telling) as it is to say, for once i feel hopeful about my future! i was talking to my therapist today and she was saying that despite her envisioning me becoming independent, if i don't want that for myself, she will help me live another way instead. the program i'm in usually takes in young adults who want to be more independent, you see, so i'm a bit of an outlier!

one of the options she brought up was applying for disability benefits and living at a program similar to the one i'm in now, which in theory sounds like a dream! but i don't know if i'd qualify and i'm sure the application process is far too grown-up for me to handle... another is simply living at home with my imma and abba forever, which would be lovely so long as a few things were fixed up (including both my house and my family itself)! i wonder, can one's parent(s) count as one's caregiver(s)? hm!

i have yet to talk to my therapist (or my parents, or anyone really) about my pet regression and true self as a kitten, and i feel like that topic will have to be broached eventually... but i don't know how. how do i come out as petre/therian? do i even need to? it would make it easier for me to ask for gear and stuff, without having to come up with alternative explanations... and it would make it easier for others to help me. for example, i think they'd appreciate knowing that when i shut down i regress/shift, and that in such a state i'm almost completely incapable of communicating, whether i want to or not: i just can't move my mouth like a grown-up human can. but i don't know for sure if it'd be worth the confusion and embarrassment of explaining my regression and therianthropy to them...

how else is kitten going to get big and strong?

regular/vegetarian chicken nuggets

a protein-packed childhood staple!

macaroni & cheese

can replicate the texture of wet food!

cereal w/out milk

lasagna

perfect for kitties who hate mondays...

bread dipped in tomato soup

can be like eating fresh meat!

whimsy's pet dreaming diary #8 (pic via pinterest) :3

first of all! sorry for clogging the petre tag with my diary entries... please let me know if doing so is genuinely bothersome! thanks!

also, sorry if my post made while half-regressed earlier is hard to understand! to sum it up:

my regression spectrum is between 4-week-old kitten (fully regressed) and 18-year-old human (not regressed), with the latter representing the point from which i am supposed to have been a grown-up (and which i am now past, being 19 years old).

on one end of the spectrum, i would be entirely feline and juvenile; on the other end, i would be entirely human and mature. i am never at either extreme, instead falling somewhere between the two, where i can have a mix of feline/human and juvenile/mature traits: the exact combination is always in flux, but when i'm not significantly regressed* i'm simply a young human with cat features!

*despite my default state existing on the regression spectrum, as it is not much in conflict with my grown-up role, i don't think it regressed enough to be considered a true regression. this state is the closest i get to the 18-year-old human side of the spectrum.

so there's that... in other news, i'm trying to come up with a playlist to help me regress more easily, featuring kitty-themed songs and agere/petre asmr audios.

in about an hour i'm doing a zoom with my family: i won't intentionally regress beforehand, but i'll make a mental note of if i regress during the call. as mentioned before, i'm able to regress more easily in the presence of my family, especially my imma (mom) and abba (dad), but that doesn't guarantee the regression. funnily enough, i regress most readily when shopping for groceries with my imma! something about the colors and shapes of all of the items on the shelves brings out the playful, curious kitten in me...

more little now! littler. that's the right word. whoopsie! listening to kiddie music, right now it's my little pony :)

i was s'posed to type out more about my regression scale or whatever it's called but it's hard to when listening to pinkie pie sing... okay now the song's over and i can type! i'm not super little right now so yeah i can do it :D

so i guess i said before that the scale is from 4-week-old kitten to 19-year-old human, as my big age is 19 human years, but i think it's actually between 4-week-old kitten to 18-year-old human. 18 is when i was s'posed to become a grown-up, after all. so right now i should be fully human and fully grown up, as i'm over 18 now... but i regress to be a not-grown-up kitty! i s'pose on the sliding scale i can be any combo of human + cat and grown-up + kiddie, as on one end i'm a grown-up human and on the other i'm a kiddie cat... i think most of the time i am a kiddie-ish human with cat features :3 right now i think i'm mostly the same except a bit kiddie-er...

okey doke! um now i don't know what to do. i s'pose i could take a cat nap... yawn! sounds like a plan :]

ah! kiddie kitty! i didn't think of that before :0
