No, it's common. There's some (irrational) stigma toward polywereism but there are some preimmanent polyweres in the community. There's also the accepted existance of cameo shifts - temporary and infrequent shifts to types that aren't the regular theriotype.

I went from polywere to contherianthrope back in 1978. So I can identify with the polyweres.

I believe this is my first official starter post I've ever made here, besides my personal forum.  But something has been bugging me a bit and I like to ask what you all may think about it.

I don't truly recall all the rules on Weres/Therian's but I think a certain subject like this has come up before.

My name is Catwolf.  Throughout my time knowing some stuff on Were/Therian knowledge and my postings on the web, I had come to embrace a feline side of myself.  I feel that my personality and hidden instincts are related more closely to a cat than any.  I feel favorable to mewing and purring when I want to express my feelings verbally.  Most of my dream and mental shifts (rare as they came...except the dream ones) are me slipping into the behavior and yearnings of cat.  Embracing these after a long time I've come to admit that maybe I truly am a Werecat (in the smallest sense of the term...meaning not exactly literary but hopefully you get the idea).

However, its been a year or two now where I've been experiencing new sensations and behaviors.  I already knew the existent of Werewolves when I was young and, truthfully, I was afraid of them (American Werewolf in London scared the dickens out of me).  Its only been since certain emotions flare up, mostly anger or frustration, that I don't feel a feline nature sharing my frustration but something else...something more wild like the wolf.  Weirdly enough maybe, I feel this during the full moon cycle.  When its out the sensation strengthens, making me want to embrace something new in me.  I can barely sleep those nights, or particularly hectic and frustrating nights where I want to just let it all out.  It even came to a point where I started having weird and intense dream and mental shifts (as I've left some examples of such nights in the Misc forum postings), finding my voice wants to scream; to howl desperately.  So that's where I began to think I had a little wolf inside me too.

Now it comes to my attention that...that may be slightly strange.  I like both sides, though the wolf one can be unpredictable, but I don't know if that classifies me as an abnormality in the Were/Therian world.  Has it been weird for you guys having a someone who purrs and mews one day and then barks and howls the next (or at least attempts too.  It's easier to sound verbally my feline side cause its quiet).
This is probably too much to ask and may think I'm sounding nuts now, but I thought it wouldn't hurt asking.  Is there a name for something as weird as me?

Its not wierd at all. Being part Panther and Wolf and being slightly more acquanted with the wolf, I understand perfectly. Its not odd, and don't ever think so. You are yourself, looking deep within yourself is a great way to understand this. Try meditation or any other type of soul searching for a bit.  Your wolf side might be a little more emotional, the feline side of course will be a little more planned out. It will get confusing but you have to meet a common ground or accept that you wont always be predictable as in following one path. you have two! lol.

Catwolf I am so excited to have found your post, I am a wolf/snow leopard therian   I look forward to reading more of your posts! Mika
