These guys have some cheesey looking fursonas, not toony, just trashy. 4. Real furrys don't just fursuit everytime they go outside. 5. "research says up to 85% of furrys believe they're not entirerly human" and where'd you get that number ya dingus?! where'd you get your information, your butt? Was there a pole or something? You positive every furry took it? Cuz I now I didn't. 6. We're not all adults here, and as far as leaving it behind, fursuits are expencive. you can't just buty a new one when your kid outgrows it. 7. I am glad on the other hand that they didn't make us out to be perverts, although I know people who think that all furries are and that fur cons and meets are for the rule 34 garbage. That's a small, outcast, group we all avaoid because we don't want to be thought of as them. 8. HOW DID THIS EVEN GET ON NAT-GEO!!!????????

..... Ink Forest, i could tell YOU to get your facts straight as well: "part human part (other) animal" is not that off for a therian, as far from all subscribe to the "past life" not the "spiritual connection" thing. I don't, yet i still at times feel phantom ears, phantom tail, even phantom muzzle, which are recurring things among therianthropes in general. So, i identify as a cat therian, and somehow, that feels just right.

Eh, it isn't a "past life", if it were, then why would one remember primarily one non-human past life? Yes, i know it is the common explanation, but it just doesn't add up. Why are wolves over-represented? Why are felines over-represented? Why is it way too often following the rule of cool, even though we never decided ourself what we were, we just noticed it? I'm a human, but on some odd level, i feel like i'm a cat, and not a human, so i'm a cat therian. That's it, no point in making it weirder than it is.
