No, I don't like chickens. Nor I like to pretend to be a cat, despite liking them. Nor I am a furry. But I know a lot of people who would never be furries nor anything of the sort still have a deep connection to animals.

Then, a lot of non-furry people like to pretend to be cats/dogs for fun/kink, and so I see them in the furry-spectrum. Again, I'm not a capital F Furry. I don't get the kink of dressing in those fursuits where basically nothing of you is visible and everyone looks the same but in different colors. But I totally get small masks, cat ears, peg-tails and leashes/chockers.
