I think I was born a furry, because as soon as I was able to talk I was also running around on all fours making animal noises, and a better impression than most little kids. I never played with barbies but I did with little toy animals, and as soon as I was able to draw a furry came to mind...then I discovered the fur community *nod*

I have always had a connection with cats and I find them fascinating. And I share many of their habits and taste. Like I have to be well groomed and clean at all times or I freak. I love meat and not many veggies. I sleep most of the day and am active mainly at night. Cats have always loved me and be by my side... and I knew I was different and I just knew I was a fur.
-edit-
Can't believe I forgot this... but I purr and knead things. Heh I freaked my friend out when I started kneading my pillow and purring when i woke up one morning ^^

A greater being came down to me one day and said "Be thou as thy truly are, and know not the wanton fear of persecution . . . for you are made upon the image of another . . . ((IE Af Mas came over, and said how much I freak out over dragons I should be a scaly xd )
Actually, ive had an affinity for dinosaurs for as long as I could remember. Even back in first grade, I understood what Paleontology was and wanted to be one when I grew up ((How far from the path ive fallen . . .). Well, that grew into an obsesion, until I slowly converted to dragons, and here I am now, a vivid scale. Thanks Affy for awakening me to the furside.

Seeing my first Anthro fox, Who I nicknamed 'Scout' then reconsidered for 'Icuris', on Goldenwolfen. The concept of a personafied animal in a physical sense amazed me for some reason. Even though I'd wacthed tons of movies that had furries in them that picture set it off for me. A year later I was rping a feral wolf, who was member of W.O.E. pack and went by the name of Winds, and soon enough my current fursona Icuris the red field fox anthromorph.

I guess for me, it was a matter of remembering. As someone who beleives in reincarnation, and always loving animals, especially big cats, I just grew attached. I also loved drawing, so when I started drawing and posting a lot on a Lion King fan art site, I kind of became a fur. I may not be die-hard, but my animal self now comes out sometimes, especially when I am sad, and curl up into a tight little ball, or when someone scratches me under the chin.
Being a fur lets me understand things. It also lets me still pretend a little, and play, which is taboo after a certain age. It is something I really miss.

I miss being able to just play, too. I don't get why people feel that after a certain age life needs to get complicated and boring.

Dapples_The_Fox I never played with barbies but I did with little toy animals o.O Haha, my mom always bought me Barbies that came with dogs or the horses, and she always wondered why I ignored the Barbies but played with the animals instead. When my friends played house, I was invariably the dog 3nodding ... And I know how people feel about just being able to play. The only ones I can truly play with are two of my closest (furry) friends.

Them: lets play house
Me: can i be the dog?
Them: our family doesn't have a dog
Me: can i be a cat?
Them: no
Me:...Komodo Dragon!
Them:.....ahhh!!
(i had this huge fascination with komodo dragons...i don't know why..still sorta do)
i would run around and play like i was some animal..never had limits..then i started watching anime..and i found myself drawn to the anthro chars. more...and then i started searching the net for anthro chars. and i found furry art...and i fell in love...this was about 7th grade..and i would always draw myself with dog ears...and then i started trying to draw anthro's of me...then i found Dark Natasha : emotion_drool : and i saved all her art on my old computer...and yea...i don't think i ever heard the word "furry" until i was about 14..and even then i saw myself above it..'cuz i thought..."people who play animal...when i have more of a connection"...i thought a furry..was..well...an animal loving poser...::shrug:: i improved on my char. and in 8th grade for our research paper we had to do something that had an arguement..and i did the mental dieses Lycanthropy..and got an A....and i found a pic that i saw myself as..a light grey arctic wolf...and yea...i found this guild...and started talkin to ya'll...and yea...kept my char...though now im starting to lean toward Otters...::shrug:: i've never had to admit to being a furry..'cuz i've always been animal like...and my friends i have said something too just kinda shurg after i told them...and say that they aren't suprised and then politly ask me to stop biting them (i bite twisted ) so yea...::goes back to reading everyones)

I know and that is why I do things that make me happy, I was just saying that a lot of people are to quick to trade happiness for conformity.

I think it was TMNT that "awakened" me back in 1991. I was 10 at the time so it was the coolest I'd seen at the time. It wasn't until the later half of the nineties that I learned about the fandom and thus what I was. I was hooked from day one.
Sweet memories of exploration ^^
