Furries



I have been invited into the social underworld of the "Furries." What is a Furry, you ask? Well, a furry is an animal with human characteristics -- that's the layman's version.

Freakish? Not so fast there, judgmental public. Think about every culture on earth. All have reference to animals with human characteristics (or vice versa). Werewolves? Centaurs? You get the drift...

Anyway, there are native American tribes that believe we all have an animal spirit as part of our "human" personality. Long story short, there is some animal in all of us. The Furries have just allowed this suppressed aspect of our anal-retentive society out of the bag and into the realm of fun and celebration.

Finding your animal "soul" is a journey -- not a destination. You may think initially you're a rabbit, but may go from squirrel, cat, and then end up at chipmunk. Self-discovery is part of the fun...

So go ahead.. put on your bunny ears and have some fun;)

I think the animal within us is probably the better part of many of us
