i think the best thing to do is to trick them into telling you and then tell them.
for example you could say that you ended up watching puss in boots and ask them their views on it and lead on to making them tell you whether or not they are furry and from there you can tell them if you are or not.


good plan no?

Our mere existence is enough reason to carry on. Never let others steal your lust for life. Life is all you have and it is all you will get. Cling to it until the universe says it's time to let go. Then rest, only then have you earned it.

I almost told my friend today which was weird, because I have no real reason to tell him, but I just had this sudden urge to go up to him and say I'm a furry, cause he was talking about how he was a brony.

I ended up simply saying that "So... sometimes bronies like being furries" and he kind of took that as an insult XD Well, maybe next time I guess :P

Once, my mom was watching TV. As I was chillin' round the house, I see she's watching a documentary about anthro art and furries.

So I ask her, "whatcha think about it ?" and she says something like "Disgusting perverts".

So I shut the hell up.  0:)

No big deal, since I've got pretty good furry friends and anyway I'm not gonna die from my mom not knowing i'm a furry  XD (is that english ?)

But I wonder how it is when your parents know about it.

They had the worst idea of what a furry was so it was a long and painfull argument tht is actually still going somewhat. I love them so much but Im leaving when Im 18 I dont think I can live here anymore :/
