I used to behave like a cat, iin?

When I was a very young child, I went through a phase where I believed myself to be a cat. I remember being nude in the mornings, presumably after having taken my bath, and would prance about and lick myself... I used lick all places that I could reach. I licked my underarms and I remember licking my pussy... I enjoyed this for some reason and the more I did it the more I wanted to be a cat. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it got to the point where I actually believed this to be true. I only remember engaging in this behaviour in two places of my home, my room and once on the uppermost stair. Once, I think while grooming myself perched at the top of the stairs, someone knocked on the door and the door was answered by my mother. Keep in mind that the stairwell was not private at all as it had slits in it for the supporting beams, despite this, I do not think the neighbor at the door saw me. I do know that I was strangely excited about the fact that I was grooming myself without them being aware of it. However, if I'm remembering correctly my mother somehow did find out about what I had done and she was livid.

I do not recall when it was that I stopped doing this, but it was definitely quite a time before I reached my teen years. I've been meaning to write this for so long now but I kept getting too embarrassed to do so until now. I am not trolling, incase any of you ask. So, is it normal?
