Furries | National Geographic


I’m a 24 year old adult and my hobby is
dressing up as a blue cat on weekends I
wanted to today with actually like we’re
you know from head to toe look exactly
like I do sort of in my head
Courtney is a furry one of a growing
number of people who believes that they
are part human part animal he feels the
need to get in touch with his inner
kitten called Nuka putting on the whole
fur suit for Niko is it’s unbelievable
venom Courtney I’m shy I’m nervous I
don’t like having a lot of attention on
me Courtney’s the stressed out grad
student trying to work on a PhD I prefer
being Nuka he’s mischievous and playful
and then Cillian when I’m in my knife
asana I don’t mind people looking at me
I don’t
okay with being the center of attention
I don’t feel so embarrassed to have
everyone’s eyes on me if I got a pair of
ears and a tail on or if I’m wearing my
collar if I’m in in the mindset of Nuka
I’ll run out to a group of people and be
really enthusiastic I I engage with
people a lot more while Courtney feels
comfortable in fur most people would
find this behavior bizarre
baris can be considered greatly taboo
because we look at people dressing up in
fairy costumes as being child’s play and
it’s something that should have been
left in the past and not brought into an
adult hood
it’s considered strange for grown men
and women to dress up as furry animals
because most adults just just can’t
relate to people who want to do that
strange as it may seem Courtney feels
more like himself when he’s Luca yet
he’s far from alone he’s just one of up
to a million people worldwide who
belonged to the furry fandom you think
to refer you feel like you’re free
you’re furry like any other subculture
we need we come together because we have
this common interest Erik belongs to
Courtney’s local fandom his first sona
is a hybrid Fox dragon and plant called
alkane
I feel like a lot of social barriers
that I don’t like have been removed so
it I get to have a lot more fun without
people thinking I’m weird or strange
because I’m already weird and strange
I’m not in the closet so to speak
I keep alkane in my closet but that’s
about it
research suggests that up to 85% of
furries believe they’re not entirely
human
