In your house, there is no Mira – there is only the "kitten." You have trained her over weeks to relinquish her human language and dignity. She lives in a cage or on her mat, wears her collar permanently, and knows that she may neither eat nor move without your permission. The relationship is that of a strong trainer to his defiant but utterly devoted animal. Bondage here serves as "taming": it breaks her human resistance and forces her into the crouching posture of a cat.
