what is the differences between...

[Midnytedreams]

A Master or Mistress can order a slave to eat out of a bowl on the floor, to get in a cage.
A slave may not care for this but will do it because they are commanded to {not a hard limit} for them.

A pet on the other hand desires to be in the cage, to eat out of their bowl.. to be a pet

The only difference is the sub herself and how she wishes to be known

Don't try to put labels on the activities of others. My submissive is in no way my slave (by our perceptions and preferences, and if I decide to stuff her in a cage, make her eat out of a dog bowl, or any number of "petlike" activities, she will. BTW, animal play is a limit. So we do it in a different context. She loves her leash, when I decide to treat her as a human pet, or just as my leashed submissive.

And yet my real dog hates her cage and would prefer to be handfed.

Not that either, it really is more up to the dominant. Sure, he may choose titles or labels that please her, but, imo, the dom chooses.

My answer to badkitty is that whatever you are called, however you think of yourself in your relationship with your dominant, it doesn't really matter so long as it pleases you both.

What the names and labels mean to the two of you needs only your dual alignment in those meanings. And if you're happy, who cares what others think of your titles.

That said, if you use them within the larger community, it helps to understand others' perceptions of their use.
