a furry
There's no real rule for being a furry, some people say you have to talk like one, others say you just like animals with human bodies.
My friend thinks I'm not a furry because I don't say 'yiff' or 'beast' all day.
I just like anthropomorphic cats and call myself a furry, and no one cares.
My mom says I'm a furry because I draw cats with human faces, even if I don't go to conventions.
