I was gonna make a deflowering joke, but it'd be too rude. I'll just say hello, then run away.

I'll go get some weed killer..

Though I may spare the panther part of you despite my earlier attempts to rid Ottawa of the competition.

I'm honoured by your "mercy". Though I don't think my panther will let you past the door with the weed killer. ;)

You're post is awesome and you should feel awesome.

Welcome!

Ents are furries as far as I'm concerned. 'Anthropomorphic', right?

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human creatures and beings, phenomena, material states and objects or abstract concepts. Examples include animals and plants depicted as creatures with human motivation able to reason and converse and forces of nature such as winds, rain or the sun. The term derives from the combination of the Greek ἄνθρωπος (ánthrōpos), "human" and μορφή (morphē), "shape" or "form".

So by this definition, which we all know and love, a toaster could be 'furry'.

'Anthropomorphic', right?

Ain't it Anthropomorphic animal? But again, semantics. It doesn't really matter. But I do think a big part of it is the fantasy related to "furries". That it could be real. Hence why a toaster's -usually- not concidered furry if it's anthropomorphized.

I've never heard of it being specified as 'anthro animal'. Often 'anthro creature', but the horribly annoying little toy-car-Decepticon from Transformers II is easily a 'anthro creature'.

It's all opinion, what is and is not furry.

Cue a war over the 'furry' status of catgirls, Gargoyles and Donkey from 'Shrek'.

From Wikipedia (again), although not really stated that way in the source material:

Furry fandom (also known as furrydom, furridom, fur fandom or furdom) refers to the fandom for fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.[1]

Wtf new? I had a good friend on FurryMUCK who was a piece of toast, and another who was a 'couch dragon'.

That's right, a fucking anthro couch. The dragon part was fluff, I'm more dragon than he was.

Good times, good times.
