[Lady Marva]

Wonder who is enabling this behavior. Does she strictly eat cat food?

A woman in Norway claims that she is a cat trapped in a human's body. The 20-year-old says she first realized she was a cat when she was 16.

She should have surgery so that she has whiskers and a tail.

She seems to be able to hold down a job, and she has friends.

Who cares what she believes?

15 minutes of fame or lives in a fantasy world. I know an adult who does the fantasy world dress up thing but they keep it to themselves.

If she really wanted to be a cat, there are things she could do.

Instant notoriety is the real problem here, if there's a problem at all. Most people who are simply seeking attention, however desperately, go away if ignored.

There have always been people with odd or delusional perceptions. They either kept them to themselves (in a time when conformity was valued above individuality), or they were known locally, in my grandfather's words, as "a mite quarr." As in, "Aunt Sarry's a mite quarr, but she don't hurt nobody."

Every time someone posts a comment about someone like this, that person, whether delusional or merely attention-seeking, gets positive reinforcement. Even negative comments are positive reinforcement, because they signify attention or validation or both.

Having known a plethora of odd characters while I was growing up in our very small town, I truly doubt the per capita number of weirdos and nutcases has increased significantly; we just know more about them.

Why can't she just get ass implants and lip injections like a normal person?

This is a delusion no different from believing that one is a famous person or a devil or a woman in a man's body.

The problem with jollying along delusions is that they become more entrenched and the victim (now) demands social agreement.

This is different from Aunt Sally being a mite queer. Aunt Sally wouldn't have hired a lawyer to enforce her view on others. If we accept that genetic men can compete in women's Olympic sports or that people with no gender must be addressed by non-English pronouns that only they know, we will eventually have to accept that people are cats or ponies or whatever and bend society to that end.

Recognizing it all as delusional will speed up effective therapies.
