In real life, my cousin was a wolf in her past-life. A wolf is her spirit animal as well. She howls EXACTLY like a wolf, too. Canines are naturally attracted to her, and she most easily connects with them. She seems to "talk" to them by petting them or something. So, I think she is Otherkin. I'm not sure what you guys would think, though.
And, if you can feel something inside of you, that's going to come out. It's the best feeling in the world when you can embrace who you are, and your animal side.
