Side note, I’m reasonably sure this is why my cat at the time suddenly became more affectionate, he didn’t really like men so when I stopped smelling like one he stopped perceiving me that way. This was well before any visible changes occurred.

wow this is really mind-blowing! and I’m super happy that your cat sees you as a woman ♥️ please tell your cat that alice said hi and cuddle them for me ♥️
