I am chill with furries, I think some of the girls in my school are furries, and I am friends with a lot of them and other non-furry girls.
I don't know if having a cat-like avatar counts as being a furry, because when you start on scratch your avatar is a scratch cat and you are able to put on cat ears on the icon. The tail, it's just for fun because it's a cat avatar, but if I was a furry, I would most likely have a fursuit and went to some furry cons.
