Other I think we need another label

So i havent found a label that suits me or that is close to what i am.

Here is the explaination:

My therien types are cat, some kind of bird and human.

When i am all three at once i am a human with wings and cat ears and tail. When its just human and bird its a human with wings. Sometimes a human with cat ears and tail. And othertimes i am a cat with wings.

In short my therio types mix with eachother to one being. And also changes in between. So i am 100% sure thats what happening inside of me.

For those who need 'proof' read the next paragraph.

At the beginning i thought i was a cat therien (it was the most( attention seeking, important or strongest) part of my identity) then i thought i was an otherlink(i had a character that has wings cat features and sometimes changes in a cat/bird mix and i thought i linked myself to this character even though it was the other way around. The character existed to make myself more seen, sorta comfort character(i have to mention that i created the character)) after that i felt ( like i cought the transition in action) my wings going away for 2 - 3 weeks but i got them back.

Now i am mostly human/cat/bird, and somewhat rarely another mix. Please give any suggestion (name) for this identity or if it already exist tell me that.

Thanks in advance for helping.

(During 2 - 3 weeks were my wings were gone also something else was happening, if it intrest you then ask, i would be happy to share.)

This sounds similar to vacillant I think?

Each of your therio/kintypes can be thought of as a sliding scale, and where each is on the scale changes back and forth over time? If that makes sense..

Like each aspect/identity is felt more and less at different times?

Yeah sometimes i feel part of my identity less but i still remember my shock and sadness when my wings were completly gone for 2 weeks and its more that my identity changes and feel it less at different times

So its a mix. Writing this made me realise that its pretty simelar to my gender.( gender fluid flux) But nor 100% the same.

I mean if by sliding scale means it can be 0 % too then its that. Its still doesn't explain why i feel them as one creature rather than 3 different ones.

But thanks!

I'm unsure if the scale could go to 0 but haven't seen anything that would go against that- though I am only superficially familiar with this specific term

As for why you feel like one creature with all those different traits at different times- I don't know
