Does this even count as furry? I think it does, anyways I drew me starbound character, closest and most complete thing to "furry art" I've done yet
Figured I'd Introduce Myself Here
Hello everyone. Today I figured I'd introduce myself as a furry who has just recently joined this fantastic boredom-killing website.
I turned 14 almost 2 months ago, so I'm a bit of a younger member of the fandom. Most of my friends know I'm a furry but I'm still trying to figure out how to come out to my parents. That story may be for another post, maybe.
I'd have to say my favorite animal as a furry is the fox. They're just so pretty! I seriously want to cuddle with one, anthropomorphic or not. Heck, one of few details I have of my fursona is that he WILL be fox. And he'll wield a Keyblade. Other than that I don't have many ideas yet.
My status as a furry actually has a bearing on what I do and don't get into. Works that feature anthropomorphic will catch my eye much quicker than a work without any. Housepets, Solatorobo and the not-yet-released Freedom Planet are just a few examples. This can be both a blessing and a curse.
So that's me in a shellnut. Like I said, my closet furry story may come up as another post, but I'm still deciding if I want to or not. Oh, and one last thing: NEED A DISPENSER HERE! (Love that game!)

What should I name my new cat?
Good night all! I just found this subreddit as of today , and thought what better place to ask a question than my favorite community? I recently acquired a cat and I'm really needing a good name for it. The joking side of me wants to name him "The Plague". I honestly think it would be hilarious to ask where the plague was at, if you fed the plague, etc.
The real side of me wants a good name for him! Here is a picture of him, feel free to toss any name out there.
Thanks for the help, Swiftpaw

Fursuit hooves help?
Not sure if this is ok to post but anyway. I need a tutorial on fursuit hooves (for feet) for deer. I'm making a deer cosplay soon and would like to make the hooves to go with it. Thanks in advance!

How Do I Make Friends?
I suppose I do have a rather silly question, but I am desperate for advice. So, my question is, How does one make friends? It's an idiotic question I know, but honestly I'm terrible at it. I've tried, I really have, but it just never works out. I probably come off as an idiot most of the time. I am sort of new to this, I've been in the online furry community for a couple of months and it's just hard to not have made any friends yet. But I'm equally awful at it in real life, too. I just wish I knew what I am doing wrong. I'm okay with talking to people, but I never get it passed that random 5 minute conversation and then it’s over. So, mainly, how do I get it passed that point? Sorry to waste your time with my question, I'm sure you have better ones than mine to get to. But I saw, I guess it was an ad, on FurAffinity.com and I thought I would give it a shot. Thank you for your time. I hope I was clear enough. I didn't want to bore you with a long letter, so I tried to keep it short.

Dear Galileo,
It’s not at all an idiotic question. If there are two main things that people want in life it is someone to love and friends to share their lives with. Most of the letters I receive are about one or the other.
Judging by your letter, I think I have an idea why you have such a hard time making friends: you lack self-confidence and self-respect. Your letter is filled with self-deprecation: you call yourself an idiot, you feel you’re wasting my time and that your question is silly and that you may be boring me. In short, you feel unworthy of friendship, don’t you, at some level?
If you came up to me at a furry party and behaved in this manner, I would probably lose interest, too. Things that attract people to other people are characteristics such as: having interesting things to say (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run away from people trying to talk to me online who have nothing to say and want me to carry the conversation because they are “bored”; if you are a boring person, you will be boring to others, too), being interested in other people and who they are and what they think (they have to meet you half way and actually have some thoughts in their noggins), being self-confident, knowing who you are, NOT being whiny or complaining all the time, being fun, having a good sense of humor, being compassionate and empathetic. Above all, do not act desperate (“Would you be my friend, please???” Eeek! A stalker!)
It’s great you have the courage to walk up to strangers at a social function and introduce yourself; that is the first hurdle, and many shy people don’t even get that far. But then you have to carry the conversation. Two things you will need for this: 1) have something to say (it helps a lot if you are well-read, well-rounded person with experiences to share); and 2) be interested in what others have to say and be curious about their lives, as well.
That is the second step. The third step is establishing a friendship, which means that once you get people interested in you as a person you need to spend time with them doing things you and they both enjoy. The more experiences you share, the more conversations you have, the more you will bond to the other person. Once a friendship starts to take hold, whether or not it will survive depends upon the character of the people involved.
As you know, there are a couple types of friends: fair-weather friends who only hang with you during the good times but quickly abandon you if you need their help for anything; user “friends” who only glomp onto you because they want something from you; and true-blue friends, who are the rarest of all. These are the people who love you for you and will be there for you when you need them, and who you will gladly help out in return. They are the friends who will walk up the side of Mt. Doom with you.
Lucky is that person who needs two paws to count all the true friends in his or her life; blessed is that person who also needs to count toes.
I hope these words of advice help steer you in the right direction.
Good luck!
