A Melbourne private school is supporting a student’s choice to identify as a cat, a source close the family has reportedly disclosed.
A private school in Melbourne is reportedly supporting a year eight, non-verbal student in identifying as a cat.
The Herald Sun reports the “phenomenally bright” child has been allowed to assume the identity, with the behaviour linked to the ‘furries’ subculture that has been adopted by some teen circles.
“No one seems to have a protocol for students identifying as animals, but the approach has been that if it doesn’t disrupt the school, everyone is being supportive,” said a source close the family.

WTAF: She is non verbal, so how do they know she identifies as a cat. Wait until ringworm is found.
