Didn't these people see http://leasticoulddo.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noreferrer noopener">the video? Seriously, don't do you pets. Then we have to deal with hearing about not doing it.
I know a fur who wore a broad, blue plush-dolphin-fluke in public that was attached to his belt and hang almost to the ground. He wore that while shopping for example. Atop of the shirt he wore a grey plush-dolphin-backpack. The scary part was, that he had convinced someone to take photos of him while shopping. In almost every picture was a crowd, obviously wondering what his intentions were. He showed the photos proudly around, stating that it needs this for him to show the world, how closely related to dolphins he feels. Several furries began mocking him and made fun of him, luckily it helped, now he doesn't do it anymore.
I like to think so, personally, but the police report stated it an accident.
By the way, they did recover after years of rehabilitation (it was partial head trauma) and actually had no recollection of what they were doing all those years prior to the accident, other than what a few others explained. They left it all behind and became a successful, self-employed worker.

It's all about being appropriate. There's wearing a collar for style and there's putting on a collar and tail and weearing them where it's not appropriate. Like walking around in a schoolgirl uniform if you're a 35 year old guy is OK if it's an Animé convention but not OK if it's the mall or he's teaching class.
The only slightly furry tshirt I have, is of a dark lord on horseback. It's totally brutal looking and doesn't look furry at all, but it's a subtle joke with a couple of fur friends because the horse he's riding has a spike on its forehead. It's the most badass unicorn I'll ever find :P To everyone else it's just a badass tshirt lol
A lot of time the local furs will wear an animal t-shirt and a tail to the food court at a local mall.
While indeed, there is a Line, not everything furry crosses it. I like to refer to this site for an opinion I share.

I really don't care what other people think. they seldom do.
anybody who lives thier lives by what others think is a Fucking Moron.

For comedic exaggeration.
Basically it's the dichotomy of humour as used by circus clowns.
On one hand you have the broken down little guy with the red nose, shabby clothes who's always incompetent but basically human at heart.
On the other side you have the "white face" clown, the one who's in charge who's cruel and commanding. He represents authority and so on.
The comedy comes from playing them off against each other. You have the red nose guy doing everything wrong and the white face guy trying to control him, and he never can, and generally ends up with a pie to the face.
To make it work in comic format you need to have and archetype: A defining template. The "Wrong" guy should be as wrong as possible, not just slightly wrong, but really wrong, to get a laugh. And so we have the Generic awful Furry who's not based on anyone specifically but designed as a template to project features on. Everyone has met or knows someone who fits him just a little, to one extent or another, and even if they haven't, they can get the concept because it's visual: he's awful.
He's letting his belly hang out, he's got a bad taste t-shirt on, his pants and shirt are stained, he's got a ridiculous collar on, an inappropriate lunchbox for his age, a really crappy tail, and cat ears because it's a specifically defining character trait, like in comics where you can recognise the characters by their hair or clothes or the big blue arrow on their head, because he has no other distinguishing features due to the lack of fine detail in the art.
The right guy always has his name badge and tie - even in the shower. He's the classic featureless corporate drone - partly because the style of the comic is corporate infographics, and partly because the contrast is funnier when he e.g. has a gas mask on or a Hello Kitty briefcase.
The "right" guy isn't particularly "right" in most of the strips. He's always doing something odd - like wearing a hazmat suit to clean up spilled milk, or taking a shower with his tie on and so on. This is metahumour, a second level of the joke, that the "right" is also "wrong" - the pie in the face.
