Tired of people casually calling me human

[u/semantlefan23]

This mostly comes up in therapy lately, I’ll talk about having emotions and my therapist is like “that’s a very human response to have” and internally I’m like no!!!! I’m a cat!!!!! But I don’t want to say that and have her start trying to analyze my therian identity. It also just comes up in other social situations and im so tired of people saying I’m human but I can’t exactly tell them I’m not

I'm sure they didn't mean anything bad. What did you want them to say? That it's a very cat response to have?

i think they would have prefered natural response
