Kitty play, more commonly known as kitten play, is a form of pet play in which the person playing the animal is feline. Big cats, house cats, and kittens all fall under the umbrella. Not all those who identify as feline adapt BDSM into their pet play, but many who experience pet play do.

Behavior

Feline behavior is based on the size and age of the cat the pet or handler has decided fits them best. Not all feline pet players have the same personalities, so each take on how to play a specific feline will be different.

The behaviors listed in this section are based off of the behaviors of actual felines. They may not reflect on how a pet player may behave.

Overall common behaviors of feline pets are:

  • Sunbathing
  • Stalking prey
  • Playing chase
  • Climbing
  • Scratching
  • Nuzzling
  • Purring or chuffing
  • Scent marking (rubbing the face on things)

Gear

The most commonly seen gear set for kitty play will usually include ears, a tail, and a collar with a bell on it. However, there are many types of gear beyond that. Harnesses, leashes, gloves, mittens, body suits, and leg fluffies can all be used to help a pet feel more feline. More dominant pets may don talons or claw gloves.

A resource page for Pet Play that lists places to buy various gear is coming soon.
