>>532512 Catgirls, in their truest form, are not furry. See the posted example.
Notice how her face and head looks more like a human than a cat, like the artist just drew cat ears on her and left the human head alone. Do you see the difference between that, and anthropmorphizing, that is, adding human traits, to an animal?
In this purest form, the fur is also confined to only the subject's tail. This is not -always- the case, but typically a good indicator of what is furry and what is not. Furry is defined as an anthropomorphized animal.
Anthropomorphism is adding of human features to something that is not human. It can be human emotions or something more tangible like opposable digits. Whatever the case, the difference is what you start with and add on. Sometimes, however, there are cases where it's difficult to understand where the human starts and where the animal begins. It's best to leave borderline images, much like the op's, away from /d/.
