Furry Habits: Acting like animals

[alpha wolf]

Do to the fact I'm a wrestler I have a lot of opportunities to be.... Not civilized I guess.  Anyway I growl at my opponents and I've been told its intimidating

That is awesome!

[Tabbitha Minx]

Yes, yes I do.
I meow, growl, purr all pretty much subconsciously.
And the boyfriend's found that if you scratch behind my ear or at the base of my skull I immediately relax (seriously, have you ever had someone rub behind your ear? Best. Feeling. Ever.) people who are really close to me (as in emotionally, not just randoms standing near me in the street ) also end up with me rubbing my head against their shoulder affectionately when I'm all sleepy-mood.
I tilt my head when thinking things over, my first instinct when someone gets in my face is to bite...
And I sleep curled in a ball

*Phew* I guess I'm not that weird after all! 

Also, nice to meet another cat, Tabbitha! You seem lucky, having a partner who'll do stuff like that.

[Tabbitha Minx]

Nice to meet you too!!
Haha yeah, but he's a bit of a cat too always looking for a head pat or rub under the chin

My close friends will often do similar things with me. I'll usually never say no to some head scratchies!

[Vulpatrino]

Aww, man, none of my friends are furries. So jealous of you guys.

I'm actually the only fur I know IRL. My friends just indulge my furriness. Although one of them considers herself a panda and often behaves in a very panda-like manner.

None of my close friends are furries...neither are my distant ones...I've met a quite a few furs and they all live pretty far away. They all think I'm weird but they're not any better so we collectively form a misfit bond.

[Oedipus Rex]

Yes, all the time.
I often find myself acting out situations in my mind as my 'sona. They range from me clicking my mandibals in boredom, to pinning somebody down who has annoyed me and eating their face (is that healthy?).

The interesting thing about me is my friends all know I'm a furry.  And I honestly think the reason I'm considered popular in my school is because I'm a furry.  There are people who don't lie me for it but the vast majority seem to be more interested and friendly around me because of it.  I bring stuffed animals to school and all other types of stuff.  And it only seems to make people want to be around me more.  Which is both a positive and a negative for me because to much exposure to people makes me unhappy.  And I don't have any friends IRL that are furries.  But I wish I did

[Lethrasherhuskeh]

Wow, you're popular cause you're a furry?


Man, I was like the only furry in school and I was ostracized for it 


..


 

[Tabbitha Minx]

Aaaaw, but you're a huskeh.! Huskies and wolves are amazing! (as are all other animals, but I'm especially biased when it comes to wolf-like creatures favoritism)

[Lethrasherhuskeh]

*le tail wag*


Yeah, I totally love huskies cuz they reflect my character as a person too! 


But here, there's only a handful of closet furries and only a few have stepped out by fursuiting at cosfests and stuff like that. It's a lil weird to people here to have animal like behavior...yeah, and you'll end up feeling awkward yourself xD

[Tabbitha Minx]

Love wolves and actually have sooo much trouble liking cats but they're what fit my personality So I know what you mean there!

Well to be honest if it wasn't for Maine I wouldn't have joined the community either she told me about it and I was more than a little bit like O_o o_O (the only other "furries" I'd heard of where the... less PG kind )
