The Cat Returns

Directed by Hiroyuki Morita, This anime recently bought, is a fantasy adventure ideal for feline fans and younger audiences.

The story revolves around Haru, who is a free spirited young girl, who along the way home from school spots a cat trying to cross and busy street, rushes out to save it using her racket just as it was about to be crushed by a large truck.

She discovers the cat she rescued is the Cat Kings son, Prince Lune and soon she receives an invitation to visit the Kingdom of Cats from the King himself as thanks.

It is not before long that she realizes there is a catch in accepting the offer, namely the King wishes her to marry Lune and so she has to decide if it is she wishes to stay within the Kingdom of Cats, being a Nekimimi (catgirl) or return to her own world.

She is helped by the Baron, first seen in Whisper of the heart, and his friends in making the decisions she wishes.

The animation is first class holding your attention as you are dragged into the story while delivering an important message about being true to yourself.

Time in the park

Parks and Garden's were part of the backdrop of my childhood from being taken to some on my Hols by daddy and spending time in my Grandad's garden which may of been modest but he made the most use of it.

Sometimes we'd sit on the benches at school engrossed in a book during midday recess, merrily getting through a few chapters at a time and talking about how we found the book so far.

That was always fun back then and really there is no reason today why I ought not to sit and read in the park.

When the old can take us forward

The past, my own past has had its issues not least feeling out of sync with boys which people just assumed I was although so much of gender based behaviours were far from typical of even though there was nothing "wrong" with them.

Then there was the whole matter of getting by as a disabled person in a world that often assumed you didn't exist and made little attempt to met your needs academically nor socially so you could feel integrated.

In so many ways my relationship to my mother was much closer than that of many boys and more aligned with girls only lacking the one much desired for element back then and to which however imperfectly it can be we now have.

To dress and be socially more like a girl to and around her.

This is more a crossover of older teen schoolgirl meets young office miss, the kind of future I rather expected except they never let me wear female uniform and it looks and feels right on me although I do regress at times and that's a younger kind of a look altogether.

Find me a sissy that didn't say that after something or other affected our self confidence, it might of been unexpected callers, a cutting comment of a family member, the battles with my first stash of ordered gurls clothes that are discovered and so on.

But ultimately you can't stop because that is really the authentic you.

Those first sensations of soft satins against you skin, the freedom your legs now have to move, the prints and fabrics you now wear as a sissy just make you feel more and more at one with this no matter how odd it may of seemed and however much you struggled between knowing you wanted to wear them and the fear of wearing clothes others didn't associated with you.

The best thing for any girl or woman to do for a sissy is encourage, support and if needs be give spaces so she feels comfortable in hur own skin as a sissy gurl. 

Hey, even "adopt" hur.

Even if the pronouns of the captions are muddled up, that's the point.

Tammy MUST go forward.

Panther Pink Panther

 

That's pretty much the size of it as I'm resting as my paws hurt (left is badly swollen) and I'm thinking about the stuff I liked as a kid to help deal with the pain.

He had a Saturday TV show "The Pink Panther Show" that featured animated shorts of his pinkness as well as another segment usually something like the Aardvark or the Inspector produced by the same studio,

It was so funny it it had me almost needing to go to the rest room! 

The confidence barrier

 There are many issues you struggle with as a sissy and your body image is often your biggest.

Somehow that reflection of us we see in the mirror always triggers off that "but I still look boyish" alarm bell so you either chicken out of going out as you or you think you'll never really be seen as you truly are as a sissy gurl.

Many of us I feel would benefit from a total make over so we see ourselves for who we truly are.

The more overly feminine the outfit, sometimes the more uncomfortable you feel thinking the whole world will judge you and even laugh at you.

I longed to dress like this when I was younger and there have been periods where men as well as women wore satin and  silk but would I of done so given a free run or in effect I shut that down out fear of ridicule?

On the face of it there's no reason any of us should have an issue with hoodie over tennis outfit making our way back from the courts.

The more adult little gurl thing is a part of me but this may not be the best option in cafe or motorway service station but a modest dress or skirt with tights may well work.

Getting the confidence to be the real you out there is the issue and a woman who'll help us with it may well be the best thing to help take us forward on the quest to be the sissy gurls we are.
