Example Sentences
- "To be fair, I catfished using my own non-pregnant photos so perhaps kittenfishing would be more apt. MTV, feel free to call me to discuss the concept further."
- "Unfortunately, while kittenfishing is generally considered less ‘serious’ a dating app offence as catfishing (where you pretend to be an entirely different person completely), it can still be damaging, and pretty manipulative; indeed, you will feel duped and deceived when going on a date with somebody who has been telling little white lies from the beginning."
- "Its strange how ghosting, kittenfishing or orbiting in today’s times is so common personally, I also dislike all the modern things like cushioning, zombieing, and breadcrumbing. I believe modern dating terminology is perplexing and complicated."
