Anyways...

It gets off nowhere. If there's one animal, there's always room for another, such is the animal kingdom. Real animals or not, who can't say one thing wasn't to exist, when we never existed during their time of reign?

To answer your first question: I've seen or heard of about every animal I can think of off the top of my head, or at least categories of animals.  Wolf, Cat, Horse, Cicada, Weasel, Eagle... you name it, it's probably out there.
As for when it's no longer considered a therian, that's the line between Therianthropy and OtherKin.  OtherKin is a blanket term to mean any human who feels "other than human" in some way (elves, cats, aliens, etc), therians fall under this umbrella.  Now, whether one is considered a Therian or OtherKin when a line is queried for?  That's been a subject of debate for a long time.  I like to think it's simply whichever community you align yourself with: A Dragon (like me) might feel better calling themselves a therian rathar than OtherKin, while a Tiger might feel better calling themself OtherKin.  I say this because the communities themselves are different, the common feelings of the people in them differ, they don't actually mix easilly.

I didn't get what you meant, "It gets off nowhere." but I think I understand the rest of your post and I agree totally

It gets off nowhere, as in, there aren't lines defining that you can't be a therian because of what you are.

Wulf, can I just say that I find it extremely unsettling to see a reference to daemons here? Especially when you see them as something different. It is a little off-putting No offence, of course.

Our definitions for the word are different by definition slightly, and then there are other differences. *shrug* I'm more open I think with some subjects while you are very formal with it. Tis why I put that little thing about personal reference.

As for what I'd say to your questions: I see therianthropy as another label that I use to define/describe what/how I feel I am. So if a tiger feels more comfortable referring to themselves as otherkin, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Well they would be otherkin, in fact I was searching around the forums that I go to occasionally and one woman (on a forum that has nothing to do with therianthropy, otherking, ect) made a random post about it without thinking anyone would know what it was and described us all as otherkin. In the same way that all Pagans would be called Pagans, made me think a bit.

When you're online, I'll talk to you about it. And I really don't think that needed to be said, it's private, and it should be kept private

O.o it was? Allright I'll delete that part of the post if you wish.

Howls: I haven't been to any, and I probably never will, being in England and all. I've net other therians though

I remember you telling me about that *remembers*

Yeah, with Werelist and Weresource not operational, it's hard to watch for these things...
