Would you get a real tail?

hehe- I think it would be awesome for me to get a purple tail as previously stated, but actually i'd go more for a black one...

Hmm a Lion tail for me heh would be great =^_^=

I think there is a web site somewhere with ergonomically designed chairs for weres/furs. I have talked a bit with artists about this...Perhaps a car seat with a recessed area for the tail, Chairs would have a hole, etc ;)

I know I wouldn't have trouble with the saddle. Dressage saddles require you to sit on your seatbones, so the tail clears. There's even an option to lose the stirrups so a fur/were could ride dressage with no trouble ;)

Okay, slightly off-topic: if you could get your leg muscles and suspensory system (ligaments, tendons, joints, et al) surgically converted to digitigrade, would you do it?

maybe. only if i could get some real toes that could asctually support my weigtht- like make ll of my toes Big Toes. then i would, so long as i end up the same height s i am now.

Hell yeah I would in a second. While we're at it, throw some claws/pads on them too. I dont think they would make shoes for feet that big. Besides, shoes on digitigrade feet would just look silly.

Digitigrade? YES!

That would be really cool. I wouldn't want my human toes though...that would look silly maybe some T-Rex toes, only smooth instead of scaly.

hehe- if i could get digigrade i would also ask for claws and while i'm at it, toes that were the sze of my pinkie so that i could actually pick up stuff with them, more so than i can now.

Pick up things with my toes? I can do that. Big toe, no less — I seem to get better leverage

You probably would need all the toes to have claws on them, just for the traction. And we do have pads on our feet, they don't develop because we wear shoes all the time. I'm a barefooter, if I don't need shoes I don't wear 'em. I also toe-walk most of the time; takes some practice and muscle-building. I've been doing it for 25 years now.

hehe- i'm mostly the same way. i walk barefoot everywhere i can but soe places it's dangerous to- the city of phaldelphia is a pretty s*** place.

Would I get a tail? Ick, no way. What would I need it for? And plus, it would be an extra part of my body to look after, too much work

i would like digigrade feet, a tail, also fur, claws and a wolf like head also some upgrades down below.

Sounds like most people here could use this site:

http://home.telepath.com/~wanderer/imag ... vices.html

Check it out the "Morphic Wolf!" It's pretty cool.

I would definately get a wolf tail that I can shift in and out of existance, but only if the possibility of being full werewolf wasn't there. As for digitigrade, probably not.

Whats not cool is the amount they're asking for.

The basic Morphic WolfSM package begins at $450,000.

Only if i got the rest of the package. Digitgrade by its lonesome would be rather annoying. Not to mention look weird,

(looks at "Morphic Wolf" item)

Anyone got about $500,00 I could borrow?

Fenrir · Post by **Fenrir** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 8:42 am

looks at thing why aren't there any pictures? I think it's just a hoax

You can't change enough dna for that to actually happen, it would take hundreds of years to actually alter your intire physical structure. It's just not possible with the technology we have right now. Or is it I don't think it is so if anyone finds anything let me know please.

That site made my "bullshoi" light come on, too. Yeah, it's gotta be a prank. You can't do things like that unless you're a *very* experienced specialist physician and doctors tend to be rather circumspect about radical things like that anyway. They certainly wouldn't be posting prices and listing procedures on a webpage if they did it at all.

I know one guy who got his face tattooed with tiger stripes, then he went off the deep end and got his teeth and face altered to have a small muzzle and carnivorous teeth (fangs, carnassials, et alia). He claimed to have acquired an antique tiger skin rug and wanted to get the hair implanted and whiskers in his face, but apparently someone talked him out of it.

He did get (artificial) whiskers implanted and he claims they work: he can feel things with them.

Personally, though, getting a tail and/or digitigrade legs wouldn't be any more radical than sex change surgery, IMO.

whoa!! thats going to extremes!!

I know one thing, the 1st person to undergo surgery for digitigrade legs will have complications. Its possible the doctors can make a mistake or the body may not heal properly after the operation.

I wouldn't risk it if I had all the money in the world.

What the??! Is that for real? Or just some practical joke?

There's a picture of him somewhere on the 'Net. He's in Furry Fandom and I think he's in the Bay Area. I saw some video of him on one of those "Weird America" shows on Discovery Channel a few years ago. Yes, he had pretty sizeable fangs and he could talk around them, with a slight lishp.

I'll bet twenty dollars he comes to Further Confusion

Yeah, like that one's true. I'd imagine atleast having a professional website domain if that were so. Some nice pictures and posibly if this were true I'd imagine seeing some documentary on this, that much changing on a person's body is sure to get attention on the TV, and would defeintly be heard around for the fact they claim to have this patented.

Cool, but something is telling me 'hoax'. Despite that, is still a fun website and fun idea.

Lion's tail with a wolf's tail in place of the bushy thing on the end.

I wouldn't get a tail. Not unless I could get the rest of the stuff a werewolf has.
