1. To be covered in fur; fluffy; fuzzy.
2. Furry fandom. This is where this definition becomes a full out rant.
Furry fandom is something widely controversed.
To cover the most general of definitions, a person who is interested in (Note that I said interested in, not is sexually attracted to) anthropomorphic animals.
Some people believe that you are only a "Furry fan" unless furry is a lifestyle for you.
Still others believe that even if you don't know the meaning of the fandom, if you like anthro animals then you're a furry. To each his own.
Personally, I think it's about choice.
Many furries create alter-egos/roleplay characters/ect. that are often called "fursonas". Y'know, furry personas?
A lot of people assume all sorts of strange things about people who call themselves furries. I have personal experiance with this one, folks.
Let me tell you something: We are NORMAL PEOPLE. Some us are male, some female, some straight, some gay, some have jobs, some don't. We are not all automatically people who have sex in animal costumes. There certainly ARE some people like this within the fandom, but don't act like we are all the same. If it worked that way, then because Shakespear is dead, and some frogs are dead, then Shakespear was a frog.
I hope I have helped you instead of wasted your time, but that's my two cents.

A person who is interested in/attracted to the idea of anthropomorphic animals.
The furry subculture is stereotypically associated with only wearing elaborate ‘fursuits’, however it is argued that there are different tiers of furry.
Some furries show some interest in the subculture and partake in the communities. This could be an attraction to a cartoon anthropomorphic animal, or simply liking furry art. However there are some hardcore furries, whom will most likely own a fursuit and have a fursona. Some individuals believe themselves to be non-human and do not identify as anything other than the animal they are portraying. Sometimes they even engage in sexual activity, which in the furry fandom is known as yiff.
Some furries can often be identified by their actions, and habits. Some examples of furry behaviour is making animal noises, partaking in furry communities, showing interest in furry orientated games and even mentioning furry related things as casual conversation.
Furry is often used as an insult, however to those in the furry fandom it is a way of life.

“Xenev identifies as a furry”
“Xenev brought a new fursuit the other day. He is officially a furry. Him and tifsar will be engaging in yiff tonight”

To be a fan of or largely intrested anthropomorphic creatures, furries can often be seen in animal costumes dressed as foxes or wolfs aswell as other animals they're often discriminated against largely due to the odd nature of the fandom. Some people believe being a furry will lead to a form of beasteality because of the more sexual side of the fandom often containing porn of comic animals with anatomically correct genetalia which is concerning to say the least.

A person that most likely identifies as an animal, or a soy sauce packet. This in some cases is not true. Some are known as cosplayers that dress up like animals.

A subculture of people who are typically interested in anthropomorphism. There are three types:
Tier 1- Mildly interested. Probably don't own a fursuit. Like furry art and stories. Make up about 90% of furry population.
Tier 2- Highly interested. Most likely own a suit and have a fursona. A little weird, yes, but there are weirder things. Usually harmless, very social. Make up about 6% of furry population.
Tier 3- The general idea of furries to ignorant people. Those who take it too far. Believe themselves to be nonhuman and sometimes engage in sexual activity. It is this tier that began the negative portrayal of furries. Perhaps 4% make up the furry population.
That is all. And no, I'm not a furry, nor am I a furry hater.

A furry is a person who has an affinity for animals, but furries are often portrayed as bestial lowlifes, a sad stereotype that has unfortunately grown in the past few years.

A disease that make the infected happy by giving them a hobby that make them look like zoophiles even tho the animals look like humans and animals. Then the disease kill them by attracting an anti-furry with a gun that will shot the furry (it's pretty rare).
The disease can spread in many ways:
Cartoons/animes
Internet interactions
IRL interactions
Expositions to furry drawings.
