Like a cat doesn’t know it’s a cat. It doesn’t look at another cat and think “oh a cat”.

The worst part of this post is I’m not even high

I hope my cats felinomorphise me as I anthropomorphise them

Makes me wonder what a human equivalent of a furry would look like to a ca- oh God never mind I just imagined it.

Catgirls but it’s just, like, a cat with human ears.

You’re thinking like a person; think cat instead.

Basically a human on all fours; the legs as long as the arms, the hand much smaller than it should be, the fingers ending in nubs; the body like an extremely emaciated and stretched out baby’s body, with ribs visible; a face with an elongated mouth and nose kind of like a Gelfling, with cleft lips; based on what the cat thinks a felinomorphised human ought to look like, it might have a long tail of just skin (and cat messageboards probably go into long debates about tail vs no tail). Also, whether the specimen is male or female, no breasts of any kind, only nipples. No fur, also no cat ears either (people don’t put human ears on furries for example), normal human ears instead. They would probably call them ‘skinnies’, or ‘fleshies’.

My brain is literally not capable of picturing that, and I’m glad

That’s why they bring you dead animals if they are outdoor cats. They think you don’t know how to hunt like you are a big dumb kitten.

They do process faces as being kind of cat-like
