A furry is someone who thinks anthropomorphic animals are cool. Meaning animals that walk on two legs like we do and dress in normal clothing. Note that just because you like wearing a fursuit doesn't make you a furry. Being a furry means this is who you want to be and who you are. It's means doing furry art, charity, going to conventions, and just doing it for fun!

Get the furrymug. Basically, "furry" is the name of the fandom around anthropomorphic animals. Just as fans of Doctor Who are called Whovians, it's just a name for a group of people.

A person who is fascinated with anthropomorphic animals. Basic definition set aside, they're an Internet subculture who the majority are perverted geeks & are common targets of Something Awful. Quite possibly the strangest thing to originate from the Internet.
Furries who defend themselves on UrbanDictionary don't realize that it won't change jack shit about what people think of them.

Get the Furrymug. Furries are people who in some way are unhappy with their actual lives/self and look for another outlet to make themselves feel better. In this case, being a furry facilitates this need by allowing the individual to not only hide their indentity but to also act in a way unlike their normal behavior. This is in my opinion a wonderful way to make oneself feel better about being "different", because they can find a way to fit in. Furries are people too. Please respect them and treat them as you would like to be treated. No one is forcing you to participate in the Furry Fandom. If someone approaches you and forces upon you unwanted attention, ask them to stop. Simple as that.
