— Dog-Like Cat [pt:] Dog-Like Cat
A dog-like cat is a term in popular culture that refers to specific breeds of domestic cats that have unusual behavioral tendencies, specifically those that are reminiscent of young domestic dogs.
As a presentation term, this refers to someone whose neurodivergent traits cause others to write them off as 'odd', or cause them to be ostracized. A Dog-Like Cat sees themselves as fundamentally different from those around them in day to day life to a noticeable extent, and may or may not experience distress when treated differently / as an 'other'.
This term was originally written with neurodivergent people (specifically autistic, as I am autistic) in mind, but may be used by anyone. Please feel free to bend the definition to suit your needs !
