'I think a lot of people’s early experiences with kink are about exploring their identity and sexuality. For me, I was exclusively trying to pay bills.'-Wildcatshadow | ✍️ JuggaloReporter 📷 Eddie Quiñones👇
Wildcat Shadow is the rubber-clad feline leading you to your darkest desires. After moving to Chicago in 2010, the now 30-year-old kink performer and musician joined the queer nightlife scene, where he found new ways to use his talent for creating immersive experiences while inspiring people to realize their dreams. By night he’s a leader in the fetish community, particularly known for his role in the puppy play scene.
I was underage when I started in the kink scene. I started as a bondage model, which I found through the burlesque world in Colorado. That quickly came to include Chicago, too, because I was traveling here a lot for band. I would go to conferences and pass out flyers or do these live demos where they would rope you in front of a crowd. I think a lot of people’s early experiences with kink are about exploring their identity and sexuality. For me, I was exclusively trying to pay bills.
The first person to actually explain BDSM to me was a Black bisexual woman who I call Daddy. So from the beginning, there was always a complication and queerness that’s not true of everyone’s experience with the scene. I’m very lucky that Black bisexual people taught me what I know. After I moved here for college, that woman adopted and trained me.
I started using the name Wildcat Shadow in 2014, when I discovered pet play. I had seen it before, but I didn’t understand it till then. I saw puppy play and was like, “Oh, that’s kind of cool.” I tried to imagine myself as a puppy—like a submissive dog—but that didn’t fit my personality at all. As I learned more, I saw the pup handler interactions—like the guy telling the puppy he’s a good boy and all that—and I was like, “Oh, that’s really cute.
