Furry instincts...

[spikey2k]

I didn't know exactly what to cdall the thread, but Furry instincts sounded appropriate for the subject. Reguardless of ones standing on how much being a furry effects their life, has anyone just....Acted out in that reguard...Like behavior...Sounds.

I personally have growled at people before and not even noticed I did it....That was a bad day in class. And I find myself purring when I am alone.

I'm curious as to what your experinces are with furry behaviors, inside or outside. Like...Catching yourself off guard doing something....Animalistic?

I haven't noticed stuff like that with me. Only thing I got is blowing saliva bubbles. I always blow saliva bubbles. My saliva has became a lot... more firm since I started =P

I purr (even though I am a wolf) and I growl, bite, scratch, and howl. I actually prefer to whine, and bark than talk...my favorite way to wrestle is like a wolf (stay at a safe distance then attack then jump back to the safe distance) i guess i am just weird like that eh?

 

[Lobo Roo]

Strangely enough, I've growled, barked, etc. since I was kid....I really don't remember when it started. I do remember my mom getting onto me for barking in public.

I say it's strange, because my fursona is a kangaroo, not a dog. But I grew up with lots of dogs, and they were more my friends than people when I was a kid....so that probably had a lot to do with it.

And yeah, I still do those things sometimes, kangaroo or not.

 

[shebawolf145]

yea I know how it is with the whole animal friends better than people friends...I feel that I understand and am understood better by animals...I believe I have an animal spirit...that is of course a wolf

Seriously, if you guys are starting to act like animals, you need psychiatric help. Wake up, you are not wolves, you are not lions, you are not gophers. You are human beings.

[Bokracroc]

Is this something like FarCry Instincts? Because that was awesome.

 

[FurryFox]

Well I scratch people, I growl, and I lay down like a dog taking a nap =3

I could swear the Achilles tendon on my left foot is a few millimeters to short after bruising my foot against something at work. Now, when I get up in the morning, before my legs have had a chance to warm up and stretch I find myself walking on tiptoe around the house.

No offense meant, but you have to admit... That's just scary.

Strange yes but not frightening.

WhiteKnightWolf: If that scares you, then get out of this fandom now. Seriously.

Compared to some of the stuff out there, I just let it ride. Besides, I've howled a few times before because I was angry and needed to make loud noises. Great stress reliever, actually.

 

[XxMissFoxX]

all of the time actually. even when i was alittle kid i would sometimes make noises when feeling extreme emotion, and i would walk around on my tip toes all of the time.

but now i actually do it all of the time, whine, snort(like, let the breath out of my mouth really quick, and make a kinda whiney noise) i bark alot when i;m with my mate ^^ and i purr(yes, actually some foxes can purr, as a matter of fact fennecs can for sure purr)

and i do this all of the time, in public or private, though its more frequent when i;m around other furs

i also have a tendency to pounce at my pillows and plushies in my sleep( i know because sometimes i wake my self up doin it >< ) and i paw at people, i do all manner of animal esque things with my mate though.

I don't belong to your fandom now. Seriously.

:roll: Howling is not an animal instinct only. Lots of people make bizarre noises and howl in anger that are not part of the furry fandom. However howling just because it's "woofy" like is not normal. If anything it's childish.

So is a lot of shit. Deal. When a man cannibalize, or murder or rob, then should you worry. Because those men are less human than anyone otherwise clean who just bark and scratch, and howl and this n that.

So wait a min, you're saying if you're NOT doing it out of pure instinct, but are quite in control and CHOOSING to do it, THAT is childish? I thought children were supposed to be less able to make a conscious choice than adults or something???

Man, as long as a person knows relatively where the line between reality and fantasy is, there's nothing wrong with them.

okay, obviously your just here to bash people, which, in my opinion, is a hell of a lot more childish and immature, than being your own person. i mean, why are you even on a furry board, if you know damn well, we imitate animals?

 

[spikey2k]

Dear me this is gotten out of hand...I feel I should appologise for makeing the board...I didn't mean to stir this up.

 

[sateva9822]

The most animalisitc thing I do it get on all fours and run around with my ferret.

While some of what's been said here is overboard, you can't say that everything is a need for psychiactric help. Believe it or not, yelps, whines, a growling-like noise, and a few other noises are NATIVE to humans as well as other animals. I've seen people who AREN'T furries use them. Admittedly, curling up or acting like a dog is not human-ish, but the noises are nothing to say is insane...unless you do that more often than you speak english.

I admit, I myself have grumbled and whined, but those are normal noises for people to make. They just make them less as they get older. You can't say they're animal noises, though. Humans ARE animals, after all. Plus, they formed the foundations of the first languages.

Off topic: I want a ferret, is it true they steal your things?

When I was a kid I was raised around dogs and everyone I knew had dogs, which probably explained my behavior; I'd bite people when we had physical fights, I once out of the blue stretched and found myself clawing at a couch (of course I was also just waking up so heaven knows what I was dreaming before that), and I always imagined myself as a sled dog. I missed out a lot on my childhood which is why I probably catch myself growling at people today when I'm annoyed/angry with them, and love the feeling of going to a wolf sanctuary nearby and howling with the wolves (really, they howl with you). Although I do often wonder if past-lives exist (not just based on this but alot of things...for example, it would definately explain why there are people that you feel you've known before, or your whole life).

Don't apologize, I think this is a good thread, things always seem to get stirred up no matter what. I occasionally make various little chattering noises at times but usually not too loud for others to hear. I do also bite the crap out of my fingernails which is a bad habit I can't seem to break, guess that could fit this category. Thats about it though.

 

[Focke-Wulf]

Lol, Yeah I've noticed a few things, sometimes if I get angry I'll growl if I don't catch myself, Also, I often feel in a "predatory" type of mood, like I'm hunting for prey or something.
