Sense of smell is above average, not very much, though. Sense of hearing now THAT, I have. I can hear the high pitched tones from electronics, and the very tasty ringtone that my dad can't hear.

I also tend to hear things before my dog does, which ticks me off. It goes like this...

*next door gate opens*
ME: (Neighbors are gonna be going up and down the stairs all day again, aren't they?)
*Gate closes*
DOG: RUFF. RUFF. RUFFRUUFRUUF!!!
MOM: OMGZORS! The dog is alerting us to something!
ME: Uh, no she isn't.
MOM: IT could be something!
ME: No, it can't, I know what shes barking at....
MOM: Shhh! Can't you see the dog trying to communicate with us?

This is a skill that heightens my sense of awareness, making me hard to sneak up on. I've clocked people trying to dash at me from behind before. Thats fun. Just stick your arm out, and BOOM!

I have always naturally adored high places, naps. I have always made animal noises, I meow, hiss, and growl at people. My movements and appearence have alway been cat like. I do all of this unconsciously, and my canines are also very sharp and a bit longer than most people. My speed and reflexes are perfect.

I have sharp little kitty fangs, I've been told I have very cat-like pride, I like to be scritched, I startle easily. I have above-average hearing, I have pretty good reflexes and I sometimes catch mice. Mrow.

Let's see...
*I have pretty good hearing. It's not as good as it was but I don't really mind because when I was younger (when I could hear even better) I found it very distracting and I couldn't stand going to places where there were lots of people because of the noise, and I used to spend the entire time watching a movie in the cinema with my hands on my ears because it was so loud. Cinema's are still loud but I don't have to cover my ears any more.
*My sense of smell is pretty good too. I can recognise people by their scent and I can smell if they have been somewhere recently.
*I bare my teeth when I'm angry and I snarl/growl a bit
*I am very territorial
*I hate eye contact, especially with people who are 'above' me eg. teachers, managers.
*Oh, and I like hunting things, hehe.

i tend to stomp the ground a little when standing still (which i dont like to do i have to be moving) i have a very keen sence of smell, i sniff the air a lot. i hear higher frequencies that most (ie. i can tell if a monitor is on in another room or if a tv is turned on in the next room <w/o hearing the sound> and some breaks drive me crazy when others can't hear them) i actualy nicker some just by sighing and i absolutely love to be scratched behind the ears or on the stomach/back. and im slightly .. okay a good bit terrotorial. and love to just lay outside when its nice and quiet and just relax take in the sights and sounds and think.

well....

-I tend to growl or hiss at people when irritated
-I walk digitigrade when barefoot
-I can hear pretty well and I kinda have really good memory when it comes to certain sounds. Like, for example, I can tell who's outside or comming in my house by what the car door sounds like when it slams, or what their keys or footsteps sound like when they're coming up the steps(since my bedroom window is faceing the backyard where everyone parks their cars...

i can hear very high frequince noises that some of my friends can't hear. i growl at people when they get me ticked off. sometimes i like to howl, and my friends had complimented me on my howls and how they sound realistic. im almost always aware of my surroundings. i walk digitigrade sometimes.

thats about it for now

Animal characteristics?

Well for one whenever I need to sort out my hair out My tongue and the back of my hand work much better than a comb.

'>

I also LOVE to stretch, whenever I get up, from a sofa, my bed or a chair the first thing I'll do is have a huuuuuuuuuge stretch, full body, just like a cat.

Vulpus Sententius · « **Reply #58 on:** September 25, 2006, 09:25:39 pm »

Well...

1.I either go up stairs digitigrade or on all fours
2.I yawn like a small dog
3.I growl and bark
4.I am absolutely fascinated by anything I can smell
5.I eat like a small animal that's scared a big animal is going to take hir food

ShadowKitsune · « **Reply #59 on:** September 26, 2006, 07:45:57 am »

Hmm..

Well, being raised by wolves (for only 3 years, mind you.) really helps out.

But aside from that, I usually sleep curled up, I luv to howl, and I can growl pretty good when I'm mad. And I luv walking and running on all fours.

Oh, and when I get the chance, I sleep curled up in the woods near where I live.

Sheesh. We all have a bit of animal, don't we?

Care to expand on this a little? Raised by wolves? ':?:'

ShadowKitsune · « **Reply #61 on:** September 26, 2006, 12:12:20 pm »

It's called careless grandparents putting you down near some woods when your only 2.

It's called crawling through said woods also.

Go me.

Dark Nation · « **Reply #62 on:** September 26, 2006, 12:18:20 pm »

And after 3 years you ended up back in civilisation?

ShadowKitsune · « **Reply #63 on:** September 26, 2006, 12:21:00 pm »

I was 2. 5 was when I was found. It wasn't that hard... ':p'

EdIt:

- Can't keep myself from running through the woods on all fours
- Luv to howl in the woods ^^
- I usually sleep curled up like a dog/wolf
- I sniff the air occasionally, if I smell something good.

Detecting a -minor- continuity error here... ':?:'

I have a significantly sensitive sense of smell, as I've been told.
Also, I have very acute hearing when it concerns high pitched sounds. Friends of mine find it strange that I can hear the nearly silent buzz of a TV at the opposite end of a school corridor, but I can't hear someone talking to me from behind. Haha.

RaptorArts · « **Reply #66 on:** October 01, 2006, 09:56:31 pm »

I tend to hear things and suddenly turn in that direction when many people dont even notice the sounds. I also have very sharp teeth, they look normal but my dentist said one day that i have sharper teeth than normal. I also find myself sniffing the air and catching a familiar scent or unfamiliar one and it just drives me nuts. "whats that smell?" *sniff sniff.. Snnnnnnnnniiiiifffff!.... Sucks a bug up his nose! Ick!* LOL! I also have the innate if thats the right word.. ability to growl raptorish if thers such a thing. I practiced it for a very long time after watching "Predator" you know that clicking sound he makes? I can do the exact same thing and it creaps people out if i do it near them. thats why I dont do it near people anymore. Oh and I have very little tolorance for people. I like to be as far away as possible from them. Mentally I am my anthro character. I may even speak from that characters point of view so If you see me typing out in a thread here in that format then you know im in my true mindset

HedgehogPie · « **Reply #67 on:** October 13, 2006, 01:44:19 pm »

Oh, yeah. I've actually found that I adjust better to a noctournal lifestyle (I have weak eyes in bright lights) than a diurnal one (which sucks, during the school year) and I tend to speak a lot less rather than making snorts and sniffs and grunt. I also have the bad habit of smelling people and catching noises that a lot of people miss. Also, I come from a very...hairsut...family, rarely trim my nails (except occasionally to a point) and have unusually sharp teeth. Nothing quite like loosing all your baby teeth by the time you're eight.

Apparently, when I was a toddler, I used to dig holes in sand and mud and hide in them and hiss at people when they tried to get me out, too. How very...hedgy.

Ginny · « **Reply #68 on:** October 13, 2006, 04:45:35 pm »

*sighs*
Here goes.
1. I constantly sniff things and people. I catagorize different people and places by the scent-for instance, my friends like to come from the mall to my house ((i live close by)) and ask me where they've bought stuff from. I sniff it and can say, 'hot topic...american eagle...' or whatever other place it's from. I've only been wrong once to twice.
2. I have a weird habit of 'adopting' people as my packmates. They don't seem to understand. But that's fine.
3. When I'm concentrating, thinking, or listening to someone, I weiner my head. Usually to the right.
4. I bark at my dog, meow at the barn cats, and whinny at the horses. I'm best at barking.
5. I tame things. A lot. My friend gets mad at me b/c I'm the only one that can pet her cat besides her big brother.
6. If you scratch my head or pet me, my leg goes and I whine, but like Abe said, that's just something I do on purpose for laughs.
7. I spend a lot of time outside, and a lot of time, I find myself going down and trying to see things from 'fox-eye level'.
8. Since I was four, I've gone up the stairs on all fours. You can ask my dad.
9. I can't resist chasing rabbits, whether on two feet or all four. I also like to run after the deer that live in my backyard-no one can hear me barking at them in the woods.
10. All my meat is cooked very rare, and I don't like eating much else BUT meat. Except candy, of course

'>
11. I HATE CARS. 'nuff said.
12. when I'm hot, I pant.
13. I lay on my belly and put my chin on my hands with my elbows out.
14. I like wrestling with my dog, and I don't talk baby-talk to him.

Kay. Done.

ShadowKitsune · « **Reply #71 on:** October 20, 2006, 02:19:54 pm »

Sheesh. How many dreams have I had involving running through the woods? Lost count around 10...

Here we go;

- I always walk digitigrade when I can, shoes/socks are evil.
- When the opportunity arises, I'll run up the stairs on all fours and barepawed.
- There's woods behind where I live, it's real fun hunting.
- There's a river nearby where I can lap up water or lay in the shade of a tree.
- If I feel like it, I can howl pretty good.
- If I smell something, I'll sniff in the air

Foxxhoria · « **Reply #72 on:** November 10, 2006, 12:44:11 pm »

Hmmm, animal characteristics...

  I am short-sighted (bad sight like a fox)
  I am stronger than I look
  The top of my ears are bigger than most people's it seems and they do move to the source of the sound
  I like the cold and snow - though I used to keep getting colds but that may have gone
  I walk digitigrade ALL of the time now, even in shoes, though I always have without apparently and the doctor said it "may be be part of me"
  I have lovely red hair (and the rest of my 'fur' on my body as well) and hairy legs
  I can make a lot of different noises, and like to imitate some noises
  I like to walk on all fours, though I don't do it very often at all, except up the stairs when no-one's looking
  I think I have a good sense of smell, though I have not compared it to anyone.

Foxxhoria · « **Reply #73 on:** November 10, 2006, 01:42:36 pm »

oh some of you are just lucky (especialy you, Shadowkitsune, being raised by wolves. Humph! *Turns away* How do you run on all fours? I need to syncronize myself! )

Here is more I remembered!
  I like to shake when coming out of the swimming pool (which is usually on all fours NOT on my Knees) - or shake my long hair in the bath.
  I don't like deoderant - they smell awfull, and I'd rather keep my own smell
  I don't use my thumbs so often, though this is conscious
  I can sense fear and other strong emotions
  I pant usually when I'm hot,
  I run often - and very fast too - and sometimes I can go on for ages
  Wenever I see a cat about, I try stroking it, and usually sucseed and get quite friendly with it
  I usually lick my wounds and I refuse medication in general
  I, too, tilt my head when confused or interested
  I think I use a lot more body language than most people
  I so prefer not to use tools
  Also, I have this wierd ability to whistle from my throat. It is high pitched and one girl in my class couldn't hear it.

  Well that is probably just about it.

Roin Davis · « **Reply #74 on:** November 10, 2006, 08:19:35 pm »

hm, lessee......

I can curl up in a ball on a small chair (and fit) and dose that way. My ears kind of twitch toward a sound I hear before I turn to look at it and I'm able to hear high frequancies: like Otto Lupo, I can hear if even one computer is on in a room full of those that are off and I know when a monitor is turned on in the next room.

When I get cut I have a habbit of "licking my wounds" ':blush:'

And when me hubby is upset with me I get the urge to nibble his chin O.o

hmmmm....I think that's really about it....Oh! my eyes catch small movements that most others don't notice. I'm also really good with comunicating with animals, like playing with a dog or getting an evil parrot to decide I'm ok and sit on my finger O.o And...well, I don't get this angry very often at all...but I immagine that my lips would pull back to show my teeth and my shoulders would raise like hackles if I were to get really really ticked.

....yeah ^_^
