A school is reportedly supporting a "phenomenally bright" teen girl who identifies as a cat. The student allegedly has permission to act like a feline and be non-verbal in class, so long as her behaviour does not distract other youngsters at the private school in Melbourne, Australia.While the school did not confirm the report, it said in a statement that pupils were displaying "a range of issues, from mental health, anxiety or identity issues".
According to the Mirror, it added: "Our approach is always unique to the student and we will take into account professional advice and the wellbeing of the student." An individual close to the girl's family told the Herald Sun : "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." It is one of a number of cases recently reported in Australia.
In Brisbane, a group of four female students are said to have taken to walking on all fours and cutting holes in their uniforms to make room for tails.It is believed they were identifying as either foxes or cats.
Claims, denied by the school, included one from a parent who told the Courier Mail a girl had screamed at another student for "sitting on her tail".
