Reminder that chicks need to be taught to be birds and in the same vein it makes perfect sense that you might need to learn how to act your species. And at the beginning it may feel forced but that doesn't make you any less an animal. And just like that kitten that grew up surrounded by dogs and now barks, if you were raised by humans it's not unreasonable to believe you might come out resembling one, just remember that means nothing to what you truly are.

They should make hrt that gives you digitigrade legs

I wish it was considered okay to growl at people. going "grrrr" is a lot easier and way more straightforward than "please don't do this, I'm uncomfortable." that's a full sentence. I'm probably annoyed, scared, or overstimulated. I'm not saying all that. grrr.

Being made to exist in a society that so cruelly expects you to act in a way that is against your nature.
