In a nutshell:

A group of students identifying as Cats

Demanding litter trays be placed in the school and smearing poo over the walls & toilet seats.

Restricted toilets access to the rest of the students due to this. Parents going batshit on social media about it, the school having to cut the phones because they're getting hounded.

The school is now apparently having to seek legal advice, as this new territory.

Stop here world, I want to get off!

AIBU that this 'identifying as' has gone too far?

They “identify as cats” in the same way that some children (and a smaller cohort of adults) “identify as princesses/superheroes/whatever-else”.

I’d like to identify as one of my two felines.
Slob out on sofa all day.
Private healthcare.
Gourmet food.
Cuddles on demand.

Don't really know what you're are trying to say but you do know that a panda's diet is 99% bamboo, the other 1% isn't pizza?

People need to accept that they are who they are.

Actually it isn't. It actually happens at my daughters' school in London.

What allowances are made for them? I mean do the school staff have to cater to their wishes?

That particular "news" article isnt true....... and it blatantly says so.

But this sort of thing is happening. Kids identifying as dogs, cats etc

This is bizarre, but OK:

1. Get them all neutered
2. Make them wear little collars with bells on
3. Ensure they stay well clear of anyone with a cat allergy
