You know, it suprises me how you do a "search people" on IMVU for furry and almost none of them "look furry".
I wonder, does the furries on IMVU like to hide in a dark hole like rats?
Sure, there's anti-fur out there, but a digital shield isn't going to help with getting furs together.
I'm not hidden and I encourage others to do the same.

It's just self expression mixed with diplomacy.
Human avatar pics don't scare the mundanes away as fast.
Then by the time they've invested enough time on the furr's page it may be too late.
They've gotten used to them and won't be scared away as easily.
My avatar is very furry and has received a few compliments. :P
-
I've had a few complaints on being like this... but not all IMVU'ers are like that. You just have to find the right ones.
-
my pic was of a few furrs but i dunno what happened to it... {emph can you see it?}
-
If you mean your forum avatar, then I noticed that it vanished a while back.
-
yea, whats up with that??

I think i have like...every way possible for furs to come to my page...Furry Pride Web Ring...furry furries etc..in my interests and link to my HP on this forum I even have furry dev banners on my page...and it all works pretty darn good :) I also get compliments about my page and my avi...but seems like almost every chat now i go into...ppl mistaken me for a cat...yet i have fox tails, fox/wolf muzzle and even the fox legs :peek: it's annoyin but funny at the same time...

Well... I have to admit, the kitsune/fox items do look feline. So I can't really blame them. I wanted more of a wolf-like appearance, but IMVU doesn't really show good wolf items or represent the animal fully right. Developers try their hardest, but making a program like that with more true-to-animal items would consume heavy amounds of memory and bandwidth.

i dont get much messages and dont much care i show my pride with a furry blinking sticker and nope not a single complaint in fact half my of my friends are human =p
guess im just friendly
-
I just have furry in my Interests and my avatar looks very furry, I meet lots of furries still.
But yeah I get confused with a cat too, it seems everyone thinks any type of furry is a cat.
-
do you see me as a cat from my avi pic?
-
No i see you as a wolf
-
Furries can tell the difference its just the others who think we're all cats on IMVU
-
Yea lol that's true...this one girl i met in chat...she thought i was a cat and she RPed with me as if i was a domestic cat...like jingle balls and cat nip and stuff like that...theb i told her i was a fox...shefelt stupid and was all sorry to me about it...it happens...I'm used to it as well...heh i bet if i buy a cat skin ppl will say i'm a wolf of fox XD
-
somebody called me a dog...i dont look it. ill post my avitar on imvu sometime soon...
-
The cat confusion is likely due to a few things.
Their knowledge of anime/neko culture.
Fox/wolf tail meshes being similar to a fluffy cat tail.
Ears being similar to cat ears.
Lack of knowledge or consideration of the "furry" element.

ywep...
{why dont they ask politely?}
some guy came up to me, hugged me, and asked me what animal i was...i almost tackled him...
