"No fun in that!"
But seriously...
I think i would lose a lot of what is 'me' in that transformation, and
_still_ would be
in the 'wrong body'. My 'furry side' is a 'morphic wolf, so being in a
non-morphic
body would still seem 'wrong' to me.
So until ol' Mother Nature can offer me the 'morphic body (or shapeshifting
capability),
this wolf will have to say "nyet!".
(Heh... No casual yiffin'?! Yer crazy! ;D )

I'd say Mother Nature defined what natural is. She'd have every right to
judge!

Not to mention, the communications thing , if you were supposed to act
feral. Then again, what if this rule was applied to only when you were
around humans? Around your friends, if you could talk and act
furry...that might be different.
I have no problem with accepting a non-anthro shift and acting feral,
since that's all I have ever wanted anyway.
One of the things I have held to my heart as a MUST if somehow granted a
shapeshifting ability, is NOT to show off or make money from the gift in
any way. I wouldn't be the next Lassie, or even make "communications"
with my owners. Just enjoy what I've become..and act like I'm bored and

Awww...now wait a minute. I have several friends who are wolves and
tigers and such. I'd hang in the wild with them, but I would need to
change my actual desired genotype to a more wolf-like and less domestic
type animal so I could keep up with them. I have always felt a little
wolf inside...running free and hunting in the wild, so if I was allowed
to be adapted for this wish, I'd do so.
The domestic part of me would fade rapidly...I mean sheesh, if I was
offered to be ANY type of four legged canine/lupine, I suppose I'd take
it. -Ricochet

Nice thing is: male foxes will care for his cubs if the female dies
(weaned, of course). Foxes do remain as a family until the cubs are old
enough. Males tend to disperse while female hang around in loose groups.
Foxes hunt alone because berries, worms, and one mouse at a time
don't make for hunting packs but they still socialize. Try the PEI
journals at alt.animals.foxes for an insight.
Still, the life of a real fox would just be the life of a fox. It
doesn't sound very pleasant, knowing what animals do. It almost sounds
as if I still have my mind but I'm just along for the ride. If it was a
temporary thing so I could experience a fox's life then yes I would!
*That* would be exciting!

Naturalists have conflicting opinions on this, but I gather that a fox will
take a vixen as a companion, and yiff _once_. Not once a year, but _once_.
And if the vixen dies, he will not find another companion. And not to
mention that foxes hunt alone... :(
And even if foxes _are_ allowed to yiff more than once, I'd still have to
wait for the vixen to come into heat. No wonder so many male furs are
homo/bisexual, they'd sooner get it on with the wuf next to them than wait

Mind you, there would be a few vixens who'd live in my earth/kennel, to
look after the cubs. So I do get _some_ furiends, but they'd have to be
female, and I don't know any vixens :( Any male foxes fancy doing some
cub-sitting? :)
Therefore: definitely not. I'm just going to make whimpering noises at
Mother Nature until she offers something a little acceptable. I mean, no
casual yiffing? :)

No, you'd be allowed (nay, _forced_) to live in the wild, as nature
intended. Unfortunately, that means that you wouldn't be allowed to be a
pet, so any furs wanting to be lap-dogs or housecats don't get their wish.

Errr...only once? That's just the practice run for us feline types! :XD
Seriously, I just watched a cool show (on that _mightiest_ of scientific
resources, the Discovery Channel ;), about foxes. Accordin to the show,
they usually yiff once per winter. Another show I saw proposed the theory
that some vixens won't come into heat if conditions (population density,
food supply, etc.) aren't quite right.
Mebbe there's some truth to the adage "The way to her heart is through her
stomach"? :)

When a vixen starts calling, any available dog-foxes in the area will try
to locate her, and will fight tooth & claw for the privilege of mating with
her. The reason for this is to ensure that the vixen receives the sperm from
the fittest fox...
Maybe the foxes somehow figured that they would all get a chance to mate
with her, provided they didn't fight...

No, I would go to _her_. Ever seen a cartoon where the male takes a sniff

I've heard conflicting reports about this, regarding the dog-fox's approach
to fatherhood. I suppose it depends on the species/country.

Agreed, but I'd rather have an anthropomorphic form. I think that might be
what separates the weres from the furries; we favour an anthro body, the
weres prefer the four-legged kind. Also, there are some phenotypes which
I've seen here but not on ahww - like ferrets and rabbits. YMMV...
I know that four-legged red foxes exist in the wild; but I don't think I've
ever seen an _anthro_ fox. Why do I like anthros so much? Is it a
combination between my human side and my vulpine side? Does it represent an
uncertainty in regressing entirely into a feral state? Are weres closer to
nature, on the whole, and more willing to shed any remnants of human life?
Or maybe my spirit is an anthrofox, pure and simple; but why?

I think the were thing is the feral release from responsibility.
You're not really human, per se, yet you retain enough to savor the
experience. It's the id in all its nightmarish glory. Furrys want it
all; reason, intellect, access to the finer things, and a gorgeous body
to boot!

For one source to this burning question;
"For approximately two weeks, fox tracks stay paired with the male
usually traveling after and attending the female. The female fox
normally has only a single estrous period per year that lasts several
days. Once breeding has taken place, the pair resume their their
solitary traveling and hunting on the family territory."

This was one of the problems i came up with in my thoughts on furry
society... if all the females came into yiff at the same time, not only
would the aroma drive the males crazy, but i doubt much work would be
done. My answer: roll all the public holidays together into a per-
species "yiff week" and take the time off work.

True... true... but also remember that in many canine species, the males
also have seasonality of sex-drive.

Or they're just into serial yiffing? Given the number of foxes round
here sometimes (i've seen five on the front lawn/playing under the
cars), i guess there's plenty of yiff to go round...

I'm not going to quote huge chunks of text from the book I'm reading at the
moment, but remember that foxes are individuals, like humans, and animals do
not adhere to broad generalisations. Given the vast number of foxes in the
UK, it would only be a short matter of time before someone observes a fox
being promiscious, or something equally different to the behaviour of a
'typical' fox. Some dog-foxes might be devoted fathers, others would prefer
to roam and mate at any given opportunity.
Eventually, I might even find a vixen who would prefur the company of a
fox-furry (me!) than a RL fox, and rather live in a house than in an earth.
It would certainly go against the 'grain' of established fox behaviour, but
I definitely think that she'd enjoy it. I imagine many naturalists would
rather pretend that I had kidnapped it and held it in my house against her
will (or something equally stupid), than allow the idea of a vixen actually
prefurring human company to burst their cosy, self-imposed bubble of
knowledge. Now, if that's their attitude, then it's their problem. Just
don't expect me to treat them with any degree of respect when they call an
animal welfare officer in a narrow-minded attempt to increase the quality of
her life.
Actually, I will quote a short passage from one book I'm reading:
"In Leicestershire, in the heart of the most prohunting country in the
British Isle, the slogans on the T-shirts mock the slogans of the 'Animal
Rights' protestors. They carry soft-porn messages, such as 'Don't Hump
Foxes' with an illustration of a huntsman pressing himself against the brush
of a fox."

Yeah! Just imagine the Hallmark "Yiff Week" greeting cards that would
inevitably come out.....
Though I am driven to distraction
by every vixen I smell and see

that you're the only mate for me.
Happy Yiff Week!!
And then, of course, there would be the holiday t.v. specials like
"It's Yiff Week, Charlie Brown!"
"The Grinch Who Stole Yiff Week"
"The Disney Yiff Week Parade"..........
.........maybe I should stop now.........
But really, how would YOU commemerate Yiff Week?

Songs like "I'm dreaming of a white... wait a minute! No, I better not!
No way I'm missing the Claymation Holiday Yiff Special!
And what about decorations? I think a few ministers are going to have a
stroke!

Well, gee, I'm sure I'd be glad to oblige.
So long as they're furry, too, and of an appropriate gender!

So just who or what would be the official commercial mascot of Yiff Week?
Pan?
Pepe Le Pew?
Randy the Lust-Crazed Ferret?
I can just begin to imagine a song about Randy sung to the tune of
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" but part of my subconscience slapped me.

What about mind? Would my mind be _changed_ to an animal's mind? If not, how would I know
what is 'natural'? If yes, how would I know that I'm acting not like I'd act w/o change
of mind? :)
I'd say no. It would better to wait for better offer.

I'm not sure if i would be doing much commemoration...
Maybe i'd cook "Yiff Week Gingerbread Animals", like i did for a
party a couple of years back.
They were anatomically-correct, and attendees at the party spent
many a happy hour arranging them in various poses.
It was also amusing to see just *how* the female party-goers
picked up the male animals... and where their first bite was!

I'll wager, using the right approach, some fast stepping, and
a little misdirection, one could get Yiff Week declared official by
some Mayor or something.
Hmmm, all we need is something innocuous for YIFF to seem to
stand for. Any suggestions?
