What does furry mean to you? We’ve tackled this question before, long ago, but this week we have a new group with new experiences and inputs. We talk about the difference between a hobby and a lifestyle, and even ponder where the two overlap, and we each reach our own conclusions.
So how about you? What is furry to you? Tell us in the comments below!

I am the coyote of the group! This means I am the handsome one, the intelligent one, the one who says all sorts of positive things about himself because he can even though he may be stretching the truth a little. When I'm not hosting or editing the show, you can find me writing the next great furry novel.

furry is a bit more of a hobby but less than a lifestyle for me. i’m not obsessed with it…compared to my outright car obsession. XP i want a partial suit, but i’m in FLORIDA, which means that there’s way too much heat and humidity to wear much more than a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, even in winter. in ten years or so, if i got cash and in a more northern state, i’d probably get one. furry is all over my drawings, but hey, that in itself is just a hobby.
there aren’t many furries down here. if people know me online and in real life, they know and usually call me by my real name, but i keep my online friends ‘in the dark’ about my real name. i chose my online name to have a name that i actually like, with more meaning to myself. just about everyone in real life knows i’m a furry through my drawings (and, thankfully, accept it and generally have a sense of humor about it). in my old school, where it was a semi-professional setup, i didn’t throw furry around, so i don’t usually bring it up to people i only talk to professionally or will not know talk with for very long, unless we come to a topic that is somewhat relevant to it.
and on the Denny’s topic, my church is on the same street as a smoke shop/hookah lounge, but the Denny’s is only near an adult daycare…welcome to South Florida.
I understand the heat and humidity. In South Carolina, I can comfortably wear a suit from late October (maybe) through February or sometimes March. As long as it is below 60 I can put up with it, but I don’t really enjoy it until the temperature is below 50. Nevertheless, I know some who will suit in the middle of summer.
it’s almost always 70+ degrees up here. 80-90 about half that time, and even sometimes over 100 during summer. yeah. 50s and lower is a rarity i cherish. XP
For me it’s about the same…more than a hobby but less than a lifestyle. I don’t own a fursuit, but would like to get one one day. But it is a part of me, it has helped mw yo grow, to be more open-minded about others. It’s also helped me to have a huge fur family that I keep in contact with on a daily basis.
The site forgot about you, and I had to approve your comment this time!
What does it mean to be more than a hobby but less than a lifestyle, to you? What is that middle ground like?
