Hello. I am guessing this is where the introductions go....
Anyway, I've been in the therian community a long time now, and have questioned alot. I guess you could say that I feel kinda feline/canineish (mostly canine), often behave very canine, but my shifts are feline always, my first I was some sort of unidentified large cat, and every meditation for theriotype I see some sort of cat, usually lion or cheetah, but occasionally a canine...not usually though.
I believe now that I may very well be clado, and while I most likely would say I am canine, I need to make absolute sure not feline. What better place than a feline therian forum?
Anyway, as for interests, I am interested in Vodun (more commonly, but inacurately known as Voodoo), otherkin, therianthropy, medical sciences, and psychology.

Thanks Teigra. ^ ^
As for an update, I've always been bad with finding myself, and admit to have gone from thing to thing, due to some earlier confusion, miscommunications, and even lies that others have told. Because of this, I often both believe and doubt just about anything that comes up too much, even if it makes sense, thus making it more difficult to find myself. However, recently I meditated on cheetah, which has shown up in meditations for years. I saw its face, and wondered if it was a totem. I was told by a friend who practices shamanism that in order to connect with an animal, I must somehow "integrate" a bit with it. Still not sure if this was correct or not, despite the fact that it did make sense at least in my mind, I attempted to communicate with cheetah in this meditation, and asked if it would "integrate" to show me things. Instead, I got this feeling that cheetah was already "integrated" and that it could teach nothing, really...at least nothing I don't know..almost if it had my memories.
A bit later, I went for a brief run. I tried to m-shift into cheetah just slightly to boost my speed. (I often shift just for the fun of it in general, sometimes for purposes like this one.) I remember becoming very happy...feeling very integrated with cheetah, very myself. Now I have felt somewhat myself in other shifts...and once when I shifted into veloceraptor, I did feel extremely happy, but this shift was much less of a "forced comfort" for lack of better terms. The happy/comfortable feeling came naturally, and very quickly. Unfortunately I could not run much longer (even though I was running, as usual, only in short bursts) due to my asthma, and quickly got myself out of the shift.
Later today (and even a bit yesterday) I felt the feeling I tend to get around people...a feeling I have long found hard to describe. Possibly an "animal" feeling, but it was always hard to know for sure. Well this feeling I have never been able to truly accurately associate an animal to other than probably mammal, probably somewhat furry, but again hard to say. Each animal I tried to fit into it seemed to not quite go in properly. Recently, although I still shouldn't say for sure, it seems cheetah may fit in. In fact, it may fit as if it is a missing puzzle piece...so well that it has almost no "holes"...hard to say though.
