I feel really weird when people associate longings for Home and such with otherkin/therian identity automatically, because I experience the opposite. My therian side is the side of me that is too tired, too indulgent to want to budge from my cozy house. The call to distant shores is like the very opposite side of me. Am I really the only one who’s this domestic?

I guess I am really lucky that my kintype is so domestic and common in human households that I can be with others of my kind all the time. When I think about it, many people rarely (or ever) get the chance to see their kin in person, touch them, communicate with them. I kind of take it for granted that I have a clowder to sleep in a warm pile with me and groom me and squabble over whether it’s okay to chew on my headphones. It must be hard for people whose kintype is very social and who don’t get to be with their kind very much. I wonder if that’s a difficulty that others experience that I don’t know much about…
