  • Question
    What are some catlike positions I can sleep in to feel more catlike?
    Community Answer
    You can curl up in a ball, or just stretch out. Cats sleep in all kinds of positions. If you have a cat, observe their sleeping habits, or look at pictures/videos online.
  • Question
    How often should I nap?

    Community Answer
    As often as you want. Just not when you're at school, in the bath or shower, or when your parents want you to do something.
  • Question
    What do catwomen wear?
    Community Answer
    Whatever they like. Cats are independent, and don't need the approval of others when it comes to their fashion choices.
  • Question
    I have a cat collar (that I made myself) and sometimes I wear it. Is that too cat-like?

    Community Answer
    Not at all. You could even go to the extreme and get a real cat collar. Just make sure you can get it off.
  • Question
    How many naps per day should I take in the summer holidays? There are plenty of nice spots in the sun or the shade, but I don't want to miss out on anything!
    Community Answer
    If you don't want to miss out on anything, you could take a couple of short naps.
  • Question
    Do you have any examples of places to sleep in when I am trying to be cat like?
    Community Answer
    Sofa, carpeted floor, the dog's basket (cleaned first), a floor nest (made with folded blankets), laundry basket if it's large enough, and so forth. That should also give you your own ideas - look around the house and find cozy spots.
  • Question
    I have fake cat ears and paws. Would it be weird to wear them?
    Katlover101
    Community Answer
    Of course not. I have fake cat ears and nobody says anything. But, make sure whenever you wear your paws that you can still hold a pen/pencil if you need to.
  • Question
    How do I know when to stop acting like a cat and begin acting like a human? People keep calling me weird, and my cousin says that taking naps is for toddlers.

    Community Answer
    First of all, naps are for EVERYONE! Second, if you really think people are annoyed, don't stop, just tone it down a bit (unless you're not having fun, then you should stop).
  • Question
    I own a cat. Do you think observing him will help me?
    Community Answer
    Definitely. You will get an idea of how a cat walks, purrs, sleeps, washes itself and eats. Then you can use your knowledge plus your imagination to copy the cat's actions.
  • Question
    Do you have any recommendations for cat-like chokers? I'm a huge fan of chokers and own many, so I think adding a small bell, or a heart with my name on it would be cute, what do you think?
    Community Answer
    Yes, a cute bell or anything like that would work well. Also, a choker that's satin, or ribbon-like would be most accurate. Just try not to make too much noise with a bell.
  • Question
    Can I get a box and sleep in it?
    Community Answer
    Of course you can. Go right ahead.
  • Question
    What if my friends think I am weird? I want to be more independent, but don't want to be weird.
    Abby Elizabeth
    Community Answer
    Do what your heart says. If you really want to be like a cat, just do it! Maybe your friend wants to be cat like too. Just ignore whatever people say, or start out slowly by not going overboard with it. Eliminate some of these tips, and just act how you'd like to act.
  • Question
    What is meant by "scent"?
    Community Answer
    It's simply a smell, to say the least. For example, a perfume could be a scent.
  • Question
    What are some ways that I could act like a cat at school? I already wear cat ears, but what else could I do to act like a cat at my school?
    Community Answer
    When people annoy you, hiss at them. When you're happy, act all confident and loving like a cat would. Meow here and there, paw at things like a cat would, etc.
  • Question
    Can I make my bed in a box with fluffy blankets and stuffed animals?
    Abby Cruz
    Community Answer
    Definitely! As long as you have space and you're comfortable. Cats sleep anywhere. If that's where you want to sleep, you can do that.
  • Question
    If I grow my nails out, could I shape them into claws? Like with an actual point?
    Trivia_lover
    Community Answer
    I had a friend who had nails half an inch longer than mine. She filed them into a point and threatened to stab annoying people. I would advise against the threatening part, since it could be taken seriously, but yes, you could shape them into claws.
  • Question
    My mom is worried because I play with cat toys and yarn, should I stop?
    Community Answer
    No. If it's what you want to do with your time, go for it! Tell your mom you're just having fun.
  • Question
    I never have time to groom myself a lot. Should I do it in the mornings and take a short time?
    Community Answer
    You could wake up earlier and do it, ir be a cat that needs their beauty rest.
  • Question
    I haven't started acting like a cat. Where should I start?
    Community Answer
    Start following the steps here, one at a time. Once you get comfortable with one, add another step.
  • Question
    What if I can't climb trees?
    Community Answer
    Not all cats can climb trees, so that is fine. You could just be that one who can't.
  • Question
    Sometimes I lick my hand because I love cats! Is that too cat like?
    Community Answer
    Not as long as your hands are clean when you do this. If you lick your hands before washing them, you could get a disease.
  • Question
    Why do I need to groom myself so much?
    Community Answer
    You need to groom yourself so much because that's what cats do. They bathe themselves constantly throughout the day.
  • Question
    Can I still be cat-like if I'm allergic to cats? I love them but I can't have one as a pet.
    Community Answer
    Of course! You don't need to have a cat to be a cat; I am also a human cat, and I'm allergic to cats too!
  • Question
    I want to do this, but I have an extremely low reputation at school. I only have three friends there. I don't want people to hate me more, yet I do want to do this. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Be yourself. Your real friends will love you no matter what. You don't have to start meowing at school (your friends probably want to have human conversations with you), but definitely be you.
  • Question
    On number 3 it says to take a quick shower in the morning. I take mine at night, is that okay?
    Abby Cruz
    Community Answer
    Of course. I do the same, and I am very cat-like. Some people don't have time to shower in the mornings, especially if you're a student.
  • Question
    Is it okay if I actually lick myself and wear a collar with a bell on it at times? Is it okay for me to teach others how to act like cats?
    Community Answer
    Sometimes, yes, but not all the time. Consider where you are and who is around you. Bells can be distracting and licking yourself may make others uncomfortable. It's a great idea to teach others, as some people need encouragement to be themselves. In public you could wear a choker instead, most people will assume it's a fashion thing and won't judge you.
  • Question
    If I'm really shy, can I still be cat like?
    Community Answer
    Yes! Just do your best to overcome your shyness when necessary for your cat like behavior.
  • Question
    I can't purr because my tongue doesn't work like that. I can't really take naps either because I'm always so energetic. Is that bad?
    Community Answer
    Cats have different personalities, you could be a cat that doesn't purr or a cat that is very energetic.
  • Question
    Will rubbing up against things make me cat like?
    Community Answer
    My neighbor's cat does that a lot. When I go to visit, it "circles" my legs and it's constantly rubbing itself against the furniture. Cats have scent glands in the sides of their faces, and rubbing up against things releases pheromones.
  • Question
    What if I wear glasses? Would that still be cat like? Because cats have good eyesight.
    Community Answer
    You can be cat like with glasses. They will make you look more mysterious. You could even get "cat eye" glasses!
