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)
Claiming areas or people by sitting on them
Vocalizing (meowing or roaring)

Kitten/cub specific behaviors:

Mewling/roaring softly
Romping all day long
Exploring
Frequent pouncing
Chewing/teething
Suckling

Training

Some trainable behaviors include:

Sitting up and begging
Bringing back toys (prey)
Using a litter box
Eating and drinking from bowls on the floor
Sleeping in a pet bed or a crate

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.

Food and Treats

Food

For those who wish to incorporate feeding as part of their play:

Any type of stew or chunky soup
Tuna or chicken salad
Fish sticks (cut into smaller pieces) with a choice of sauce

 == Training ==
-Cats can be trained, but not to the degree of dogs, so that is a fact to be kept in mind during play. Chances are, a cat will snub commands a lot more than a dog will. If the pet is submissive, it is more possible to train them out of more negative behaviors, such as scratching or biting, but training a human pet out of normal animal behaviors can be detrimental to their headspace.
-'''Positive reinforcement''' for good behavior is a good method of training. A feline can be rewarded with either treats, praise, cuddling, or some form of privilege during playtime.
-'''Negative reinforcement''' is a good way to deter bad behavior. Felines react best to the spray bottle of water, however, scolding and light spanking can also help.

-Note that using a litter box in kitty play is not for everyone, and the same goes for caging. Keep this in mind during any [[negotiations]] with a pet, whether the pet play is just a scene or is going to be a lifestyle choice.
 == Gear ==
-For many feline pet players, finding and buying gear is an exciting part of their play. Although there is a world of gear available, it is good to keep in mind that one does not need ''all'' of the gear to be able to engage in pet play. Some pet players do not use any gear at all.

 == Food and Treats ==
-So pet players eat animal food, right? Wrong! The food sold for pets in grocery stores is made for pets, and pets have highly different nutritional needs than humans. However, it is very possible to create foods that look like foods made for pets and have fun, themed treats that are perfect for pet play. There are vegetarian and vegan options for those who are creative.
