Cladotherians?

[Fury]

I came across that new term (to me) relating therianthropy.
Does anybody know what is about?

This is not exactally my line of expertise but here is a quote I pulled off another site.

Generally realizing eventually becomes simple. You realize you identify as a family, rather than one animal, but still feel like you are one thing. I think part of the problem with figuring this out is that cladotherians often are frowned upon, because the term is not yet widely accepted.

So in short it seems that the term refers to a person who know their family for example feline, but not their species, eg: lion, tiger, jaguar, cheetah. It sounds like a kind of identity confusion.

There is another definiton from this site: http://www.geocities.com/queenwolf20...ianthropy.html

I decided not to post the relevat part because there is a copyright at the bottom of this site and I didn't want to wait for
permission.

Something else to add that I think was on the above site was that Dragons aren't considered to be Therians or Cladotherians - they are classed as otherkin for some reason.

I found out a cladotherian is a therian who would feel they embody the traits of a whole family of otherkin.For instance,if you are a dog,you feel you share the traits of all canids ,not justof a dog.If you are a tiger,you feel you share the traits of all felines,not just that of a tiger.
