Well, the phrase "coming out of the closet", or just "coming out", is generally used when a homosexual discloses his/her sexual orientation to people who didn't previously know about it. The "furry closet" is a way of referring to having one's furriness hidden from view, whereas saying one has come out of the furry closet simply means he/she has made his/her furriness public knowledge, or close to it.

I remebered today I worte somethign about ym own animal instincts a while back when they were first brought to my atention. I'll repost it here. Keep in midn this was *choke* 5 ina ahlf months ago and long befpore I came out. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan. 27th, 2004 So I should start out describing what went on last night. I was hanging out with [someone very special] online last night. She got distant and "her eyes turned black." When she looked at me with them I got scared but I fought my fear to try and comfort her and be with her. I was early scared and I wanted to run. Soon something came over me though. "My eyes turned white" and I lost my humanity a lot. There was still some there. I wanted to share in what she was doing. I had a taste for blood in my mouth. I would never hurt [this person] but I wanted to hunt. [this part is edited as no not reveal secrets] I will summarize: I was both like an animal and like a mind. I was like an animal first. It was my intent to hunt and kill with my mouth and eat raw flesh. I was driven by animal feelings, emotions, and thoughts. After that I was without body. I didn't care for it in the least. All I wanted to do was think and "talk" with [this person]. I was driven by entirely human instincts. Getting to discussion, I think there are two parts in me. The human part and the animal part. Everybody has these but I somehow feel mine are stronger or more detached from each other. My humanity is my conscious, my thought. When it is in control I feel like I'm "above" my body. I don't mean that in the spatial sense but rather a direction not described in physics. I feel like I only need my body to get out what my mind thinks. I thrive off of thought and conversation. Other then that I have no need of my body. The other part of me is my animal instincts, my body. This part of me wants to act like an animal. It wants to hunt, to stalk, to frolic, to watch, listen, and smell. It basically wants to be an animal. When this part is in my I don't want to be pined down (and to often I am). [edit]. Animals want to rome free. I see that now more then ever. Both are a part of me and I feel them both. They never took control over me like they did last night before. I want to do it again. I want to feel one without the other again. But I digress. I see the animal part of me showing through at times. There are times when I want to run free. When I want to stalk. When I want to run and pounce. When I want to watch with my eyes, ears, and nose. There are times when I can smell really well and others not at all. I want to frolic to prance. I want to cuddle up with someone in a primitive way. There are times I eat like a raccoon and not like a human. There are times when I drink like creature in small sips rapid instead of large and far in-between gulps. Sometimes I want to give into my instincts and basically act like an animal. There are other times when I see my humanity showing through. When I want naught to sit somewhere and think and talk. When all that I seem to have are my thoughts and my friends. These times I tend to neglect my body. I tend to not notice Im hungry or sleepy. I just want to feed my mind everything it can get. I set here and theorize or search out other people to talk with. I want to dispense advice and get some. I want to help out my fellow man and my own mind. Neither one prevails for long but both are there. They are always there together. Even last night they were despite not feeling it. It's the only way I could act over aim. It felt so real to me and everything I'm saying still holds true. I don't know which one I want. No I do. Each one only wants himself and the other to not be there. They would destroy the other if they could. That way I want both. This is a struggle inside of me. I don't see it and Im sure you don't but it's there. I dont think either one will win in the end. [edited] I want to experience it again. One this is cellar to me. I love you, [this person]. Both my mind and my body love you. They love you in different ways though. They ways they know how. When I'm with my mind its human emotions I heal but when Im with my body it's animal. I would never hurt you so you don't have to be afraid. I will try and protect you though. My animal part will fight off a creature 10 times as large as me for you while my mind will help guide you through the solution. The emotions that both feel are so drastically different yet the same somehow. This is weird. ----------------------------- My views on this has changed slithgly. of course, and I shoudl write soemthign on my furriness. It's nto so much of a choice to me to be furry but it is a reality. I want to be a raccoon, not jsut act like one. I also don't want to give up being human. It's one of the several strugles within me. Growing into the furry mind set these past 6 months has helped find a compromise in thatr strugle and I am more at peace, seamingly, with it. My furry form lets me be both to the greatest degree, both on-line and off. I hope this makes things clearer for people.

I can't say I've ever had the desire to hunt something as Norsenerd describes, but I have sometimes had the desire to see what it would be like to be an animal. I'm convinced that a lot of species (especially mammals) are smarter than we give them credit for, and I'd love to know how they think. I'm certain they don't think in the same ways we do. That's part of the reason that I'd like to do wildlife field research depite liking the luxuries of civilization, so I can try and unlock the secrets of animal minds. I also find the diversity of animals interesting. I guess that's one of the reasons I've stuck with Redwall fanfiction for so long, it's fun to take what you know about a species and then think about how they might live if they were capable of human level reasoning and object manipulation. Fanfiction is at it's best when you take the time to put an interesting twist on the world the fic is based in. I've heard the 1994 computer game Inherit the Earth also played around with some of the concepts of how anthromorphic civilizations would have developed, which is why I'm seriously thinking of ordering the rerelease of it despite the fact it would be expensive to get sent to Canada and the game is apparently very easy.

creepy... Well, I'm lost, as usual. Maybe soon you'll get cool anime superpowers. ...What?! A guy can dream, can't he? What's wrong with wishing for anime superpowers?! what, you'd rather I wish for "superhero superpowers" or something?!

Burning Sheep Productions · Postby **Burning Sheep Productions** » Fri May 28, 2004 12:57 pm

Ahh... I remember when I was like that, Norsenerd. Only I was into wolves and a more feral nature of animal life. And is it just me or is it usual for furries to sometimes not have their own character to roleplay and make stories around etc.

Elscire · Postby **Elscire** » Fri May 28, 2004 1:08 pm

All this (especially the posts about prey) has reminded me of something I was reading about having fennec foxes as 'pets.' This particular thing was in a Q&A style, and one part read something like: Q - What are fennecs like with other animals? A - They usually get along great with any animal they can't fit into their mouth. Sounds about right <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

they some dolphins are smarter than humans. so that means dolphins are really smart ya, but scientist say Its hard to compare there smartness to ours because they live in a diffrent life style or something. and you all really scar me! <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

And your horrid spelling really scares me <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> I'd believe that dolphins are smarter than humans in a lot of ways, the presence of civilization doesn't necessarily signify intelligence.
