critter hearted 

A SFW headspace where people pretend to be a domestic pet for a short period of time, they often cosplay the animal by putting on ears, a collar and playing the role of the animal by barking, meowing or even mooing and eating the foods the animal would. This is similar to kinning the animal.

''Why were you barking in your room?''

''I'm critter hearted''

Critter hearted 

it is a coping mechanism where people pretend to be a animal for a short amount of time, normally a domestic pet just as stress relief or trauma cope or for fun, not to be associated with kink or petplay, it's just animal lovers playing with pet toys and putting on a set of animal ears to cope with stress.
This is similar to ''kinning'' something. (not having to do with furries)

''Why do you wear cat ears?''

''I'm critter hearted, I kin cats''
