Pet play

Pet play is a form of role play within BDSM in which an adult person takes on the role of an animal - such as a dog, cat, pony, puppy, or kitten - and their partner takes on the role of owner, trainer, or caretaker. It is about behavior, dynamics, and experience, not literal animal characteristics.
