woahhhh its that guyyyy!!!! im very new to therianthropy so i wanted to know of any cat therian tips :3
hiiii!!!!! i am also new to therianthropy, i officially awakened this year!!! (though i experienced more of a gradual awakening) i can share some tips on things that i do that make me feel euphoric :3
small things i do that bring me euphoria, that you could try out!
- learn to walk around quietly
- sneak up on your friends or loved ones, and maybe pounce on them hehe
- small bites to communicate love, playfulness, overstimulation, or as a request for space (don’t do it to someone who isn’t ok with that though!!!)
- play with cat toys!!!! either alone or have someone else throw around your toys for you :3
- go on a walk with someone! for me it feels like my owner is walking me, i know im a cat but i’m a cat who likes going on walks to explore the outside and chase bugs and birds :3
- wearing fuzzy clothes! fuzzy mittens feel like paws, the same with fuzzy socks, and a fuzzy jacket could feel like the rest of your coat! or maybe wrap yourself up w a fuzzy blanket
- stretching before and after sleeping! yoga brings me piece of mind, i just feel like a sleepy kitty and i forget everything else and get all shifty
- sitting in high places like counters, fences, or tables, you could also climb a tree or maybe hangout on a roof, but that is more dangerous so just be careful if you want to try it!!! i don’t want you to get hurt kitty
- hiding in weird hidden spots like under the table or the bed, in closets, behind furniture, in boxes, etc
- dedicate a journal to talk about your identity! things that make you euphoric or dysphoric, shifts that you experience if any, your experience, etc! (if you would like i could make a separate post for journal entry ideas :3)
- wearing clothes that are a similar color to my coat!
- wearing clothes similar to my coat length, so furless —> tight clothes, short coat —> fitted clothes, medium to long coat —> oversized or ruffled clothes
- rubbing items or people that you love/own with your face :3
- meow at your friends/loved ones as a greeting!
- eating cereal every morning makes me feel like i’m eating my kibble and it makes me so so happy
- biscuits on everything soft and cozy or when you’re happy!
- growing out my nails to be pointy and sharp >:3
- not shaving!!! i like having my leg furs :3
- go to a pet store or shelter to socialize with the other cats!!!!
- research about cat behaviors, anatomy, history, allergies, etc etc. it can also make me dysphoric at times but later on i feel euphoric that i know all of the things about cats. also i researched different breeds, and it took me awhile to figure out what breed i am, but looking at what different breeds are like helped me!!!
- drawing kitties on every paper i write on hehe
- after i shower and im clean, i lick my body. i got this idea from @hollowsvoid!
this is all i could think of right now, but if you have any questions or thoughts please let me know!!!! also if there’s anything you want me to post about from my experiences i am very happy to share. i’m so so so happy another kitty found my page :3
