Is there a kitten in your life? Or do you like to express yourself in a feline kind of way?
What Is Kitten Play?
The kitten play kink in BDSM is fun and sexy and about power exchange as well as role play, cosplay, and identity exploration.
Kitten play is part of BDSM but it is also a form of animal roleplay or cosplay. The relationship between a kitten sub and their owner dom is part of BDSM, but it doesn’t always play itself out the way a master and servant relationship or dominant and submissive roles usually do.
If you know anything about cats, you know that the feline has the last meow and the owner worships her!

While discipline and training are important parts of kitten play relationships, other aspects like animal roleplay, kitten clothes, and kitten positions are equally or more important. Kitten play is focused on feline expression and paraphernalia. Playing at being a cat is the most important aspect!
While roleplay and cosplay are often the point, some kitten play is more serious. Some folks enter their kitten roles very earnestly and become kittens. Yes, this is called kitten space!
Kittenspace is like littlespace or subspace. It’s an altered state, where the kitten leaves behind their adult responsibilities and experiences a blissful place mentally and physically. For those who experience kittenspace in kittenplay, their master or owner needs to bring them back carefully and provide loving aftercare.

8. Cardboard Box
Kittens love to play inside a cardboard box. Bringing a box for your kitten to sleep in when she is finished playing can be a lot of fun. Add toys and soft blankets to the box and let her enjoy a long nap.
9. Kitten Position Training
You know about submissive position training, but do you know about kitten position training? Kitten position training is related, but the emphasis is on kitten-like positions.
Kitten submissives may respond more instinctively and cooperatively to kitten positions, because erotic, human submission poses may simply not work for a kitten. Tail up, paws up, sitting pretty, belly up, curled up, on all fours with head high and tail high.
Kitten positions aren’t merely about submission—they are also about feline expression, beauty, role play, and playfulness.
10. Kitten Commands
BDSM kitten play comes with behavior commands in the form of spoken commands or hand gestures. When an owner wants his kitten to behave a certain way, he may speak or gesture a kitten command.
Couples will usually work out their own natural system of codes, or use kitten commands commonly used in BDSM. These commands will be about sitting pretty, paws up, and tail up, and about coming towards their owner.
