It is! It was silly. Just took a little longer than we expected to take care of. We forgot our groceries at the store on lunch and the customer service line was huge!

Welcome to January's EdenKink meeting!

As you've read, I'm sure, this week we're going to be talking about pet play! And who better to lead the discussion than a lady who lives it herself, Red Vinyl Kitty?

I'm really excited to learn myself! So without further gilding of the lily, I'm going to pass the mic to RVK so she can tell us about pet play from her perspective. Feel free to ask questions, but remember that RVK has the right to refuse to answer any she's not comfortable with.

Hope you guys have fun! And maybe learn something from it. Take it away, RVK! (And thanks so much for doing this!)

No problem! Thank you so much for having me!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Red Vinyl Kitty! I have been in a Master/slave dynamic with my Master, Master Pravus for almost nine years now. While we don't have a strict pet/owner relationship, We do a LOT of pet play! I am hoping to have lots of fun chatting you you all about what a pet play dynamic can be like.

For us, kitty play (the form of pet play we do most often) started off as a way to humiliate me. I love humiliation and degradation, but as time goes on, my humiliation fades away easily. Pet play has switched from something that degrades me, to something which makes me feel loved, pampered, and beast like.

We do all sorts of things, including wearing a collar, using a leash, eating from a dish, using a litter box. Sometimes I am not allowed to speak. There is so much to talk about, I don't know how to fit in all in this little box, but:

Feel FREE to ask questions!

thanks for being here!

How did you decide on being a kitty vs. being a puppy or different type of pet?

You say it started as a form of degradation...how long did it take before it became more a fun play activity than a humiliation element. I must admit, this is one of the kinks that has always squicked me a little bit...

I can see how you'd feel pampered...

I highly doubt this will be the most interesting question that gets asked tonight, but have you guys got actual feline cats around the house as well?

To start off, I think it really depends on your own personal definition of pet play. I think that for me personally, it sounds like a form of animal roleplay, but I'm not entirely sure you'd classify that as pet play.

To me, (and many people have many definitions) pet play is usually play in which one partner acts like a pet, and another partner acts like an owner. This doesn't have to be permanent, it could just be in the context of a scene.

Although, I have seen some people who personify the animal somewhat. E.G. A dominant who plays a wolf who plays with a submissive who is more puppy-like. There's so many definitions that it is hard to give a straight "yes" or "no", and really, I think the definition of pet play in that situation would vary based on the players and what was involved.

I have a question for everyone here who participates in any form of pet or animal play: What type of animal are you? Do you switch between animals or have one that you identify with strongly?

Also, what's the correct term for two animal roleplay?

(personally, I consider myself a Chimera shifter, I based my pet "identity" on my spirit animal: The Dawn Wolf, and my totems: Horse, Caracal, Deer, and Fox.)

Well, to be honest with you.. I didn't decide. Master decided he wanted a kitty, and it was so!

We also do pony play, but, that's not really under the definition of pet play in most cases.

my husband and I do some very light pet play. Trying to get him more into it. I am more cat-like so it's usually cat, but sometimes I go into dog mode. Especially when in a playful mood.

Truth be told, probably only a couple of months. I do still find using the litterbox to be degrading.. But only when people aside from Master are watching me. I'm so comfortable with him, that him watching me use the litter box just doesn't really humiliate me anymore.

Oh that makes sense, just like a real pet owner would go and decide what kind of pet they wanted when they went to adopt one.
