Pet Play by MistressKay

Pet play is the act of pretending to be an animal or taking on animal-like tendencies. It isn’t usually used for arousal purposes although some do use it that way. It usually is just used as a way to escape from regular life responsibilities. If you are a cute, snuggly kitty, you don’t have to pay the bills or clean the sink – you can just relax and focus on being a little mindless pet.

People who like pet play usually like to pretend to be a kitty or a puppy. I’ve heard of people pretending to be fish or geckos, but I’ll mostly just be covering kittens and puppies. Some people like to play ponies, but since those require a different and stricter training process, I will just be sticking to puppy and kitty play in this article.

While I could focus on the pet’s actual experience as the pet and surrounding issues, I will actually be focusing more on the Dominant’s side of the issue. For example, safety issues when your pet is in their mindset, how to keep their mindset, what to do to amuse them, and great ways to find accessories and clothing that will help complete the fantasy.

Safety Issues

The mind is really your only tool when it comes to pet play. Without the person believing they are the pet, they will not be able to get into the role. However, when a person is actually in their role, it is a common fact that many people have a problem thinking clearly. As their partner/friend/etc., you need to watch over your pet to make sure they don’t get themselves into trouble. The mind is so powerful that your partner/friend/etc. can actually start to believe they are a puppy/kitty and get themselves into trouble they’d know specifically not to when out of the head space.

If the role is played enough, it’s also possible for the pet to slip into the mindset at inappropriate times. To avoid this, I recommend a strict “code” that allows your pet to know when it’s time to slip into the mindset. For example, when having your partner be a ‘pet’, always slip their pet collar around their neck and pat their head with “Good kitty/puppy”. That will allow them to know that the scene has started. To end it, take off their collar, and go “That’s enough insert name here“. It allows enough break between fantasy and reality to keep it safe.
