QUESTION: How human do you like you're anthro/furry?

General
I hope I'm wording the question correctly. The very definition of anthropomorphism means human and animal elements. That's not an entirely accurate definition as strictly speaking, in terms of biology, when you get down to it we're all just biological creatures. But let's go with that to keep things simple.
So again my question is... in terms of physical appearance, how much human characteristics do you like in your furry/anthro character?
BTW in case you are curious my personal favorite has to be what I saw in Thundercats the 2011 series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1666278/ those characters really inspired me in terms art style. I would say the characters there ranged from 70% to 90% human to 30% to 10% animal characteristics respectively. That's a pretty good range.
But I do notice art pieces, especially here on FA can vary greatly.
What yould be your ratio
% anthro/furry?
% human?
Please say what species, if you want.

Thanks for the feedback.
the more "feral (Pure animal)" a character is, the more I associate the implications of their feral species, for example the more a sona is a feral kitten, the more I associate them with being playful/curious, or the closer they are to a tiger the more I'll see a loner/predatory personality.
Since recognizing distinctions in humans is easier and more contextually meaningful, the more human a sona is, the more I will rely upon other characteristics to predict/project who that person is/the art's mood is.
Good feedback here.
Lately I had been experimenting with creating a furry anime style. I wish I had better skills to do it. I have the look in my head but like I said I need the skills to bring that to life. More practice practice practice I guess.
