I'm not a furry, but for the past two years or so, I've been thinking off and on about becoming one. There are just a few questions I want to ask that I'm curious about.


What's it like wearing a fursuit, and what kinds of fursuits/options are there to explore?

As a furry (asking you, the reader), would you rather wear a fursuit, or imagine/draw yourself as a humanoid figure?

What makes being a furry... ...being a furry? I understand some people who are furries might like to behave as animals, making animal noises and stuff, but is there more (or less) to being a furry than behaving like an animal? Sorry if this question is weird.

All of these are entirely up to you. There's no entrance exam.

Fursuits are completely optional. Get one, don't get one, get one that's not even your fursona but that you just like. It's all good.

Some are way into their species and collect knickknacks featuring it. Others don't care much, or flip between species multiple times before settling. Some never settle and have whole collections of fursonas.

Some actively low-key (or high-key) act out their furriness IRL. Some only do it online. Or at conventions. Or all of the above, or never.

Essentially: what about your own identity feels furry to you? What ways of reaching for that part of you feel right to you? There's no prewritten answer. Only you can find out what furriness means to you.

Welcome aboard. It's a wild journey, but the company is delightful. :)
