I was never really into animals until my brother saved a kitten from being washed away into a street drain. It was so adorable and helpless that we just HAD to keep it. This was my first time ever being around an animal that I didn't hate as well. We nursed it back to health cause it had this cruddy stuff on it's eyes and could barely walk. We named it Snickers~ But nature took it's course and eventually died of a birth defect in it's neck, atleast he died peacefully and in a warm bed at the vet.
But then we just got more cats, so I started getting really interested in the furry little things. I liked the way their fur felt and their silly behavior(and their tails), so I started looking up cats online. Never really got further until I got really hooked into cat girls. Then later on I learn about furries, which I never liked to begin with but as I started getting into anthros I learned they weren't all that bad and found myself more connected with them then the human race, as stupid as that sounds.
Then that died out until I moved and lost my friends from my old neighborhood so I was pretty much isolated to the internet, and there goes my old flame firin' up and soon enough i'm full blown furry after getting into sonic fandom again and then it transforms into all anthros!
Took awhile to get here but here I am. And now that I think about it...I might of always been one considering my favorite childhood movies were The Fox and the Hound and Oliver and Company.
