Whether you are a furry is up to your own judgement, but don't use that
definition - it's wrong.

I second Delve's idea of not using that definition... But either way, there
really isn't any set concept of what a furry is. I don't think I'm an animal
in a human body either, but I consider myself to be a fur. (And BTW, I plan
to get my first attachable tail SOON!) I guess it all depends on whether or
not you'd like to be associated with a large, diverse group of people that
the media seems to enjoy focusing on a small part of (and radio is a part of
the media, in case you didn't know).

If you think you are a werewolf, or other supernatural furred critter,
you might be a furry.
If you have a totem animal, or guardian animal spirit, you might be a
furry.
If you believe, we should use genenetic tech and cloning to uplift
animals to a sentiant state, you might be a furry.
If you enjoy, creating and preforming in fursuit, you might be a furry.
Well there isn't really a set list of traits/features/etc. that define a "fur".
Personally I think that if you think you're a fur then, yes, you're a fur. Of
course that's one of the many things that makes furry so attractive to me,
it's a wholly personal experience while at the same time it can be shared,
to a degree, by all furs. To a greater or lesser degree, naturally.
But no, Delve's right, don't listen to the radio on this one.

Yah, his definition is pretty narrow... most furs don't own
fursuits to begin with. There is plenty of sex, so I hear, but that
doesn't make one furry ;)
The way I look at it, you are a Fur if you think you are. Its a
pretty open collective of folks with as many different spins on being
furry. Hang around with furries for a while and see if you fit in :)
Whiffert
If you managed to find you way here, its pretty safe to say you are a furry.

Oh, believe me, it's not *just* the radio that has stupid people. You've
probably heard of a little thing called freedom of the press, right?
Anyways, now that you know, why not tell us a little about yourself?
You *swear* you have a phantom tail. (No really, I can sense
it's there!!). You might be a furry.

Great minds think alike.
If you sleep on the same side of the bed every night, because the
plushies occupy the other half...
You might be a furry
If you bark at your friends, but talk to your pets...

If you've got a large collection of Disney movies, but no kids...

You might be a furry
If you've ever worn your tail and collar to the mall or to Wal-Mart,

You might be a furry (and you've got cast-iron balls besides)
If you had to buy a bigger hard drive to hold all the yiff...
You might be a furry
And finally, if you think fan boys are sexy...
You're not a fur, you're just fucked up
Thank you and goodnight.

I wear my tail to the mall (and every where else) all the time and all
though I would never let other people dictate the way I live my life I
doubt any one would ever sugest that I have cast-iron balls.

By that standard, I am Testiclez.
Okay, I'm done sounding crazy. I don't know if anyone here could relate to me,
but it would be nice to know if there is anyone in the same boat.
Dude. *points at you* Furry.
Insofar as wanting things that we can't have and wanting to be what we
cannot be, at least in this life, I'm certain that there are those who can
relate somewhat to this. There have been times in my life when I was quite
willing to dump everything just for the chance to become my pheno{s}, so I
think I can kinda see where you're coming from anyway.
As for crazy... well if we're speaking in terms of the afterlife {supposing
there is one, of course} then it doesn't seem any crazier than some of the
things others have come up with. And who knows, /if/ there is an afterlife
it could very well be that such a thing will happen.
I am somewhat curious to know how you got the fox-if you don't mind
telling. I've been looking into obtaining a skunk myself. Because if it's
either /that/ or a becoming coat they're at least better off with someone
who'll take care of 'em! And while there are domestic skunks in the U.S.
there are maybe five states* where they're legal to possess. So this is just
me being nosey again...
*Naturally if I had my way this wouldn't even be an issue as I don't care
much for the idea of unnecessary domestication. Skunks are far better off
in the wild. But my opinion is about 100 years too late... *sigh*
Ah. Hm, I don't think we've ever had anything like that around here but
then it's basically all horse-farms all the time here. And if I can be honest
here I'm not exactly certain I'm that disappointed. Mostly I think that wild
animals should stay wild and I'm very dubious about people keeping
anything like bears or wolves. Not that I'm intending to criticize you or
anything. I guess I'm just back into cautious mode after the trouble with
the tigers last week. Many people have no sense about animals, is all.

Hm... Well cross-foxes are quite cool little vulpines as well. I would
imagine it might be hard to keep that sort of place open. I don't know so
much about keeping foxes but I suspect that they, like skunks, come
highly under suspicion of rabies from the Great Unwashed which makes it
hard to keep them. For skunks, anyway, the only state that I've found that
/doesn't/ require a permit of some kind is Wyoming.
By the way,

*grins* Thanks. Right now I'm looking at moving sometime in the near
future {I hope} so I need to make certain of where I'm going to wind up
and whether skunks are legal there, but I plan to make certain of that if I
can. They /do/ make good companions, as I've heard, and they're quite
bright-around the level of a three year old child I think.
Of course this only applies to striped skunks. Spotted skunks {my
personal pheno} are not domesticable and cannot adapt to life with
humans as readily. They're also truly nocturnal, unliked striped skunks, so
I'm sure that wouldn't be very much fun for either skunk or human. But I'd
better stop as I can talk skunks for pages. *grins* Foxes, too.
I heard rumors of domesticated foxes as well which took 40

Hmm. What I've heard is that someone tried to breed a domestic fox for
use on fur farms and wound up with an animal that had floppy ears and
was pretty far removed from actual wild foxes. Neither practice, of course,
is one I approve of but that, of course, goes without saying.
On the other paw I've also heard that Fennec foxes are more easily
domesticable and are--I /think/--kept in certain countries as pets. So could
be it depends on what kind of fox your dealing with or something.
--Rabbit
I actually wanted to try to breed fox hybrids. Some people say its impossible,
but I knew someone studying to be a vet who asked her genetics teacher about
crossing foxes and dogs and she said there is a 50/50 chance of them having
offspring which would of course be sterile.
I know that those tame foxes had floppy ears, as well as shorter tails, and
different streaks of fur color. I too, don't agree with using these tame foxes
for fur farm breeding. I heard they were trying to work out the mutation
problem in the tame foxes so they could get good furs from them. Hopefully, the
problem can't be fixed. One gross thing I heard about is that people actually
eat fox some places which I think is discusting.

On the Tacoma Link streetcar on Conifur Saturday (the first day Seattle Sounder
#3 started running, and thus the streetcar was packed with dignitaries
going to the Sounder station), Katt and I boarded wearing our tails at
the Convention Center streetcar stand. Someone says, "Hey, look at
the tails" to the person next to them. Katt turns to me and says in a
normal speaking tone, "You'd think these people had never seen a bear
and a tiger go by streetcar before."
The next morning, we went to what's gotta be Tacoma's only grocery
store (A Fred Meyer general store) wearing a tail. No comments, but a
couple people would stop and stare with the kind of look that you can
practically hear them sheepishly thinking, "Does...does he know that's
there?"

How does a fandom become too dangerous? If you're comfortable with
who you are as a furry, there should be no danger involved. I try to
fursuit at least once a week for various organizations. I don't let
things like ER, CSI, or MTV get in my way. I'm furry and proud and
let the world know it.

Last month I fursuited a bicycle race. (I was the official starter
bear) After the race we headed to the local supermarket for brewski.
It was the first time I ever fursuited a store. It was a riot! I
just acted like I belonged there, and nothing was different.
