So this is just some random thing I noticed myself doing, and I wanted to know if anyone else has had similar experiences.
I'm a therian, my fursona is a white tiger, I'm a cat person, and yet it seems like every time I get really happy and excited, I have a tendency to howl like a wolf. I started thinking, and one of the only other animals I ever pretended to be as a child was a wolf. I don't really know if or how it's significant, but it always strikes me as weird that sometimes I feel more like a wolf than a tiger.
Anyone else have similar experience and/or insights to share? :?

I've had some rather similar experiences too. Even though I don't consider myself therian, my fursona is a domestic cat, and I'm generally a cat person, I sometimes feel more like a wolf than anything else. It's weird... :o
-
I've been having similar experiences lately too... I'm a Dragonkin, and occasionally, I get the desire to howl or bark. I have always loved wolves, they have always been my favorite animal. But I love dragons equally. Urgh, So confusing >.<

It's a pretty normal characteristic among therians.
To solve your dilemma Shuishe you could just be a hybrid of a wolf and a dragon ;D *Wolgon* http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/133/9/f/White_Wolf_Guardian_by_MortisReptus.png

Maybe :P

I had/have the same experience but on the flip side of the coin...I'm also an avid cat person but I have always been a wolf but have spoken more like a feline and act much more cat like under some circumstances...plus my fluffy more cat like tail that I have phantom auras with :P Perhaps there is some overlap in the feline and lupine worlds?
-
Perhaps there is. :P
I'm glad to know this is pretty common among therians. Maybe that speaks to some deeper truth about a common connection to all living things? :)

As a younger cub growing up, I played games and stuff. Whenever there was no option being Lion, I'd settle for Wolf. I feel like my heart howls every now and then, and really tend to like Wolves. I have this feeling that I have some aspects of a wolf. Even had another Lion tell me that I resemble one.

Well for longer than I was a Coyote I was a Lion furry and to be honest I preferred wolves,
but I was a little more 'obsessive compulsive' than other people and the sheer amount of Wolf furries put me off.
I had a sort of 'fetish' for wolves I guess, and I liked to 'Howl' in roleplays and such, ah, good times.

I actually think that because it's a simple sound to make in excitement, that's probably why you do it- though my fursona Is a wolf I do howl constantly in excitement for that reason- im actually well known in the local hockey league to howl after goals XD

I howl out of pure excitement and joy. one time in the woods in the back of my house after school i set my bag down pulled out some math homework and started it then i look over a rock and notice it was wet so i decided "this is my area" so i wnet on the rock. about a week later i got back out there and just relaxed i feel asleep woke up at 9ish and started home and heard a semi intune group howl then i look at the night sky and let out my first howl. funny enough i was responded by another howl :).......but the rock was wet the next day XD
