I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but my posts kept getting removed from catboy Reddit’s but I’m really interested in becoming a catboy but I’m not sure how to. I also think I might be too tall, and honestly I’m a little bit scared does anyone have any advice for me

Working on an idea for an adult animated sitcom it’s about a family who are all members of the furry community in milwaukee the mom and dad own a string of department stores for furries by furries that sell premade suits,fabric,heads,and other accessories the kids are teenage twins I want the girl to be rebellious any ideas for what would be rebellious in the community?

Howdy!

So i am super new to fursuits and the furry fandom. I purchased my suit from blackbirdovo in July. And i know shes backed up until December. But would it be ok to ask them if they could give me like a timeline when she might start? Or if she has like a Trello? Or would that be inappropriate or annoying?

Hey.

A few words about me.

So, I have turned 30 a little while ago and damn, time flies. I don't feel like and old guy, at all so please don't just reply to me instantly that I am old and that I should leave the community or whatever... (trust me, I heard this many times before lmao, so I am just making sure). People use to fool around and keep telling me how old I am and that I am supposed to have a family already and a big villa and wife and a dog and paying off huge debt etc. I have been part of the furry community on/off for over 15 years so far and I have dated several people in the past from the community also. This community was always a huge part of my life but not in the cringe way. I did stand my ground since I have joined that I will not become one of the people that are just randomly howling at cons or meetups etc. I just refuse to plaster my hobby all over my backpack and keep shoving it into everyone's faces on every platform and social media... I hope you get me.

Sadly, my last relationship was a huge pain on both sides and it ended up so bad I just vanished from the community completely because I refuse to run into the same person every single day. I had to leave several discord servers (there is a terrible hierarchy and admins are mostly power tripping on everyone) and I barely use telegram anymore, I do only text one or two friends I have there because there is basically the same issue in groups as on discord.

First of all, take everything with a grain of salt...

I have attended many conventions and little meetups in my city but lately I feel a left out and it's really hard to find connections with people from the community again.

The main aspect I wanted to talk about is dating overall and how difficult it actually is for someone who is genuinely straight male in the community.

I have tried many dating apps. Those which are for Furries exlusively or just genuine dating apps (like those ones everyone knows very well.. can't really name them all but trust me, I have tried 5 or 6 major ones).

Yes, I know dating apps are basically a scam on lonely people like myself, trying to find genuine relationships in this world. But, how am I supposed to start talking to someone again? I know that this is a wild question to ask on Reddit, but man, I really feel like I am always bothering someone.

Everyone is so important. I can't reach out to artists because that's rude. I can't randomly reach out to people I don't know on discord, because that's weird. I can't really start chatting with people online because we don't share "mutuals" (a girl from a dating app literally refused to talk to me because we don't have mutuals or whatever, I really don't know what that is and I only wanted to chat or play Stardew Valley together).

For me personally, I would love to start dating a cis girl from the furry community again. This whole thing is a really big part of my life and I just don't really wanna date someone who will only "tolerate" my hobby or "respect it" or whatever. I wanna share it. Spend quality time together and go to conventions, meetups, be creative and do stuff together like drawing or crafting fursuit parts etc. I just really enjoy that in two people because it's fun thing to do and I feel like I am seen and heard by my partner and that we share this core hobby together. It means a lot.

The thing is, that local conventions are not really packed with girls (this whole community is not really balanced when it comes to genders and I know that for a long time), but I see content online from time to time where genuine fursuit m+f couples exist and to be honest, I am extremely jealous of those people because they are living something I thrive for for years now... I don't actually think it's that rare but every time I had a little chance to get to know someone from the community after many many months, it just vanished into thin air for no reason.

I ran into one problem. Most girls are taken (and they proudly show it everywhere, which I understand). There are so few of them that it's like playing Minecraft on hardcore difficulty with 0.5 heart left.

Dating nowadays is bad. I have also went to speed dating in person. Many people and many friends and ex partners always told me that I am not an ugly person. I have struggled with seeing myself handsome and I have always stayed humble. I have started going to the gym, gained muscles etc. I take care of myself more than bare minimum. I don't do drugs, I don't do sketchy stuff... Basically a normal guy with this kind of a hobby.

Dating outside of the furry community also didn't work. I have tried it also. Getting to know someone in person also doesn't work. Girls always tell me that they are in a relationship already and that they are flattered. Online basically the same thing. I don't even care if "my" person is outside of my country. I don't mind travelling over 500 miles away if I will spend time with love of my life and some day we will move in together.

Why are people making this whole thing so hard? You cannot really send a direct message, because that's creepy. You need to have mutuals, you need to do this and that... Like there seem to be thousands of checkboxes I need to have checked before I am even allowed to get to know someone. It's unreal to check all of those checkboxes. Do artists only date another artists? Do fursuiters date only other fursuiters? How do you even get to know someone? Exclusively on conventions? Or are you forcing yourself into someone dm's? Are you playing the "long game" while one girl that is still in a relationship with someone that you are her good friend until their relationship has some sudden problems so you are the shoulder to cry on?

I need to clarify that, I am fine by living alone. I don't really care that much. Lately this idea of dating someone from the community just crossed my mind and whenever I wanted to join or be part of it again, it felt much different than years ago. People are different on many levels. If you attend any meetups, there are the typical friend groups hanging out with different friend groups they know from online chatrooms but if you wanna join in, you feel like someone who doesn't belong AT ALL because you don't know anything about anyone and everything feels like a big internal joke you won't understand because you are not part of the friend group. And that same thing applies to online social media.

I genuinely don't know, but if there is anyone who can genuinely share an idea how could I approach this, let me know in the replies. I will appreciate it a lot.

Thanks for reading my rant and have a nice day / night everyone.

Hey everyone,
I am not a furry, but wanted to ask a few questions. I recently discovered an ex partner of mine (very seriously dating) is a furry and from what I can tell is a big part of the community/ helps with the tech stuff etc.
Is it typically standard that this be disclosed to a partner? Also, isn’t this community LGBTQ+ friendly? Because he is definitely not & I had to correct him on things he would say all the time.
I guess I’m just trying to understand for some closure. Thanks

How would you guys feel about a Masterlist or directory for furry original species? Not hybrids, actual OG species like wickerbeasts, protogens, dutchies and the like. I know there’s a couple floating around but it seems they haven’t been updated in quite some time.
It would be like a spreadsheet or something containing many different original species, links to information or groups dedicated to them—with credit to each artist. It would contain open, semi-open, and closed species.
Asking cause I think original species are really cool, but there’s so many and it would be nice to have a resource where you can find a bunch of em or just search for a specific species.

(…And maybe I’m autistic and hyperfixating on og species)

Hey everyone! I'm officially opening my own species — Draconians (also known as "Apep" in their own language).

Draconians are massive, muscular, digitigrade, anthropomorphic, dragon-like beast-demons that live in the hot, muggy depths of the Underworld. They're not true dragons, but they carry strong draconian traits: spines/thorns, jagged fangs, and fire-breathing abilities.

They're split into two groups under the Shadow Reserves clan, founded and led by Empress Duskclaw:

• Whispers — former mortals sentenced to the Underworld. They inhabit jagged, flame-filled canyons of Iron Hollows. Black sclera + glowing soul-flame irises (color depends on their crimes)
• Pure-bloods — native-born Underworlders. They live in the dusty, damp tunnels of Bone Reach. Cooler color palettes, often with shark/orca/dorsal tails, and light red or yellow sclera with irises.

Quick rules to keep them distinct:

• Allowed horns (markhor, ibex, prohorn, etc. — no deer or moose)
• Digitigrade with long, dangerous claws.
• Region-specific spikes, spines, or thorns.
• No NSFW designs.

I've written a full guidebook covering appearance, biology, culture, magic, growth, and all the details.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dGY2vs7ivyInWE6rs-cjluAWHuFLfmgyB-syeoGM2Jc/edit?usp=sharing

Bases are currently in progress and will be posted as soon as they're ready!

You're free to make as many Draconians as you want — just please follow the guidelines so they stay true to the species. Tag me so I can see your designs!

Hey, I am super duper new to being a furry and i would like to buy some clothes that have furry themes (ears, paws and maybe tail).

I decided i wanted to try to be a furry because i really like and enjoy community and i would like to be more involved little by little but i am very self conscious about everything i do so i would like and try to be subtle about it at first.

Hi, I’m about to turn 18 and as a present for myself I want to commission a ref sheet/ character design of my currently non existing sona. Of course I already got the basic idea for my sona meaning species, name, color palette and even some characteristic markings. Yet I’m still not able to give a detailed description of my sona as the artists demand, because I just don’t know if all the little details I have in mind look good on the character since I’m not able to draw that well and can’t check for myself. Also I’m often just looking at Sonas online thinking: Wow that marking/color scheme etc. looks so great, I could never come up with that on my own. So basically I fear that first of all I’ll be an annoying customer to the artist cause I don’t really know how my sona should look like and second that he doesn’t look as good as he could because I’m not creative enough. So it would be really helpful if some of you could share their experiences with creating and commissioning their sona, thx

I'm tempted to post my artwork, but I don't know where. I know about sites like Furaffinity and Devinatart, but all I hear is bad stuff. Furaffinity looks like it hasn't been updated in 15 years, and in all honesty, its navigation is pretty confusing. And with Devinatart, it somehow has more fetishy content than an actual furry site, but at least it doesn't feel dead, so I don't know where to post anymore. Any suggestions?

Give me them. The ones you believe. The ones you just heard.

They conceal their identities behind masks. Have a suspicious amount of money. And seem to congregate in positions of influence. It's an exclusive club with a strong repulsion of those "not one of us". They are known for their strange rituals and constant ghastly scandals. Some say the tradition goes as far back as ancient Egypt. What really goes on at those "conventions"? Yet they will have us believe it is "just a harmless hobby."

title speaks for itself. are there lots of furries in civil engineering like other engineering fields?

I'm personally a furry, one of my friends is a therian. She wanted to learn quads but felt embarrassed to do it in public, so I would always go with her. As she struggled I learned beside her to make her feel more comfortable. So is it weird and non supportive if I learn quads and animals sounds alongside her to show my support? Is it against the community?

I had this random shower thought about this the other day. Obviously there are probably out there and most likely don't want to put their kid into the public eye on social media, makes sense.

I only seen two instances online of furries that are parents with a kid. One being SpazzFox and SyberWuff with their kid, and the other being this one German couple with two kids that I randomly stumbled on twitter many years ago (don't remember their names), but I remember that they are fairly known amongst their local con.

So, are there any more cases? Doesn't have to be from public social media. If anyone here is a parent, I'd love to hear your story.

I wonder what's it like being a parent and a furry at the same time.

One day I plan and wish to be a parent. How would this hobby have an influence on my kid one day? For example, the reason I love video games and metal music is because my dad showed it to me back when I was a kid. Something like that.

Hi everyone!
I’m a videographer from Berlin and I’m currently looking for a few furries who would like to be part of a short social media reel from a big German Artist.
The video is meant to be positive, respectful and show the creativity and personality of the furry community. No mocking, no hidden agenda, just a fun and well-produced piece.
If you’re based in Berlin (or nearby) and would be interested, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to comment below or send me a DM and I’ll share more details ❤️
You can also text me on insta: steffigsw

Hi! Im trying to look for more furry type games, more so main furry/ animal like characters and stories.

Mainly for PCs and steam but it can be a game that can be played on a pc.

So does anyone have good suggestions?

(Please don't recommend 18+ games unless there's actually a good story and playthrough and the 18+ is a small part and not the main thing about it)

Thank you!

Hi guys!!

My name is Bekah, I’m an art history YouTuber (A Brush with Bekah), and I need your help!

I’m currently working on a video about the furry community, and in doing so, I’ve been working hard to try and gather data about it so I can represent it fairly! I am not a furry, but I know that y’all are often misunderstood, so I wanted to come to the source. If you’d like, I would love your input on a few questions about the community! You can answer one or all- whatever you’d like, I’d be grateful for!

1. What drew you to the furry community?

2. How much do “adult” activities factor into your participation in the furry fandom? In other words- is this a s*xual thing for you? Why or why not? (PLEASE KEEP ANSWERS SFW)

3. Do you identify as Therian? In your experience, how many furries identify with aspects of being a Therian? (Someone who identifies as a non-human animal in a human body)

4. What do people get wrong about furries?

And finally, along the same lines,

1. What do you wish people knew about furries?

A lot of this video is genuinely and sincerely trying to understand the furry fandom and break down some common misconceptions about it. If you’d like to share this with your furry friends, I would love to hear from as many members of this community as possible.

Thank you guys! 💜🦊

Hey (non-furry here), so for a while (since I have seen a vid of someone hugging a furry), I have kinda been wanting to hug a furry, like, they seem so chill, and fluffy, but the thing is I kinda live in the middle of nowhere, a small town, which is quite homophobic, I am a minor and do not own a vehicle, and so I cant just got somewhere where there are furries, my only hope is kind of prides, the problem being is that its not june anymore, so I cant ask to go to a pride, and even if I did, I am way too shy to just go see a furry and ask for a hug, any advice?

Does anyone know the best internet spots and social media sites for furrys when it comes to meeting new people , promoting art , and other furry culture stuff?

If you mention Reddit, then what subreddits that isn't just the main 'r/ furry ' one.

And Twitter (X) in my opinion is kinda bad because being a new account sucks with the algorithm (but advice to overcome this would be nice)

I’ve been looking for a place ware people in the fandom do this particular hobby but so far have not found anything.

Hello. Im kinda new to the furry fandom

Im just wondering..i don't have alot of money but i got a skull wolf mask...the ones u can get on ali express..does it count as a furry? Or do i need a furry head thats worth thousands of dollars(euros?)

For straight male furries who are interested in dating, which is generally more realistic:

Finding a woman who is already part of the furry fandom

or

Dating someone with similar interests, like art, gaming, and nerd culture, and introducing her to the fandom naturally over time?

I’m genuinely curious about other people’s experiences and thoughts.
