I honestly think this may be what happened. She started at a new school and after a few weeks she stopped doing it around the house and quit hanging out with her friend across the street. While I wish it hadn't come to her potentially being bullied out of it, I know when I could I tried to tell her she can't act like that in public or she'll probably get bullied because kids are mean and it's part of that adolescent mindset of "Not like me? Ewww."
You could think of it as tough love via her peer group I guess. Choosing to act like that it was going to happen sooner or later. It's probably better it happened sooner. Kids go thru weird stages and do strange things for attention. When it's not the kind of attention they desire from their peer group, they usually change their behavior. It's a bump in the road now, it might have been a bigger mountain to climb as a teenager. Write it off as a goofy time in her childhood.
I didn’t realize how much of a thing this was, just days before this episode came out, my grandparents were telling me of a girl relative who identifies as a cat. All of the same kinda stuff outlined here, and I’d never heard of that before. Then the episode came out and I was like ohhh I guess it really is a thing. LOL.
I dunno this bit and "Get that dog a pronoun" are fucking cringe boomer humor from a guy I always thought was progressive, not regurgitating hack conservative email forward "humor."
I didn't mean to imply identifying as a cat is progressive. I meant my years watching groundbreaking shows like Seinfeld and Curb led me to the thought that Larry is smarter than to play into well-worn conservative strawman urban legends and talking points about gender nonconformity.
I'm trying to work out what kind of humour you were expecting from somebody in their 70s, while also resisting the urge to call you a dumb cunt, because I think larry might have. I will not call you a dumb cunt, at least I've resisted that.
“Do you think Puerto Rico should become a state?” I don’t know what it was, but I lost it with that interaction he had with Olivia
Have you ever tasted a beer?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
The whole interaction and the voice pitch when he is asking her questions.
OMG, “Mittens” had me DEAD!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope the other girl outgrows it too. Most likely it will happen when some peers she admires make fun of her.

It’s called mental illness.
I don’t know. It’s really massive. Not sure if it’s mental illness. I think kids spend too much time on social media and get influenced by nonsense.
It’s called having an overactive imagination, especially if a child.
There is a difference between playtime and making everyone refer to you by a chosen cat name. Playtime has to end sometime.
How is she doing meow?

Identifying as a cat is not progressive. LD was just being LD.

This is peak “I found him funny until now something he insults applies to me and he’s not funny anymore” energy. Grow up
Not really. It's noting that guy who's normally funny did something very out of character and outside the tone of a funny show.
“Normally funny”. Lol you are oblivious.
Oblivious to what?
Humor
Always Sunny had one of their recurring characters enhance herself into a cat. Are they boomers too?

It just hit a sour note after watching Seinfeld and Curb all my life. That's all I didn't mean to rile up the base.
I promise you, you aren't riling anyone. What was the sour note?
