I will never be a cat and it makes me sad

65% Normal

Cats are so wonderfully made. I love their toe beans, their pointy ears, velvety noses, the cat paws and the paw pudge, the tails, the eyes, the poise, the purring, the ability to jump, leap, nap anywhere, and be loved

I will never be a cat. I will never have this. They are so elegant and physically able and wonderful. Sometimes I really get bummed out that I will never live as a cat. Is this a healthy feeling?

Instead of dwelling on how you can't be a cat, ask yourself what you can do for actual cats. What can you do to help cats?

  This is a good point. I really hope to rescue a lot of the stray cats that wander the streets

  I can rub between their toesies and scratch the tip of their chin 😁
  
  Not op btw, but I guess I can empathize with them

Same here, except I would still wanna keep my human intelligence. I would also like to still have opposable thumbs and stuff, maybe just a human-shaped body in general except as a cat... but then that's just being a furry, which is pretty unfortunate

  What if you could shift in between? Then have a secret life!
  
  I want to be a cat because being a human and living up to human expectations is hard. I am awkward and want to escape myself. Have a cat's elegance and power.
  
  Isn't being a furry a mental illness?

    It'd be cool to be able to switch. Then I could use it to crawl into cozy tight spaces that I couldn't otherwise get to! Maybe hide in people's ventilation without them knowing.
    
    As for furries, it's kind of like a mental illness except it's also contagious. Like folie à deux, except it's infected like 1/10 of people on the internet, and is probably also linked to actual brain damage. I'm half-infected myself, so trust me when I say it's a most foul of plagues

      Yessss like you could be so much sneakier with a cat's body and a human's intelligence, no one would suspect you of anything, you could literally be a tiny superhero!
      
      I think lots of people become furries because they want to belong to something and they make them feel accepted, and I also think it is linked to low self esteem, so it's a form of self-escapism to me. Does any of this apply to you?

        I only say I'm half-infected because of how often I have unwanted furry dreams. I've never participated in the actual community at all, but even so it's like the furry menace has still found a way to consistently make me feel slightly gross and uncomfortable.
        
        What about you? How much do you relate to the furry horde?

        I don't think it's normal to be attracted to animals, or anyone in a fursuit, that's bizarre. I get wanting to imagine life as an animal though, like a wolf, cat, bird- but that's like something kids do! If you feel like your identity is as a furry animal rather than a human though, then seek help. It's not that I want to be a cat, it's that I want freedom, special abilities, I feel bad about myself sometimes and find it hard to fit in- so I want to get away from human-me. If you have furry dreams, it doesn't necessarily make you a furry. And if you find it gross, you still have a conscience and a moral compass, as long as you don't became a purposeless pleasure seeking coomer, I think you will be fine too :)

Maybe get a cat? I don't know, it doesn't seem normal wanting to become a cat. If you mean it, then you should probably talk to some therapist.

If you were a cat, you couldn't think about being a human.

But being a human, you can think about anything you want as well as write about it.

Write a book about a person that transforms into a cat, or maybe make it a manga or something. And treat cats with respect.

Cats are cats, humans are humans.

Be happy that you are a human. As much as I love cats myself, I personally wouldn't want to be one because I am happy to be a human.

Now I recommend you don't act like a furry. Seriously furries are the most weirdest species on earth.
