I mean, you know, no one ever things about what it would really be like if upright animal people were strolling around in place of naked monkey-things. No more tattoos. Fur everywhere. Tail injury warnings by every elevator. ...Dingleberries. 6__9 Don't even get me started on "scalies" and their shedding... oh wait apparently they... clean up that problem themselves. X)
December 2005 I cut off the dreadlocks I had for four years... and now that my bangs have gotten a bit longer I've noticed I shed more. I do not like this... so I drew this maybe three or four months ago. Gekko looks so embarrassed and guilty.. yet he cannot stop. Dork.
Sadly I might not make it to December 31st of the post-every-day-til-the-end-of-the-year-thing, as Ive been so freaking busy with work that it aint funny. Unless you want crummy sketches. Eh. :\

I actually do break vacuum cleaners all the time. I shed a lot. ;__; And I've known guys with terrifyingly hairy bums, who sometimes had issues... >__>
I won't even get into that weird kid back in Jr High that had a scab-eating thing going on. D:
So really, these things do happen anyway. XD;;

I've made the ones I write have both a monthly period and an estrus similar to the animal they look like... It makes for a culture that's very understanding of the female sex drive since at different times of year and sometimes multiple times a year women basically get out-of-their-mind horny.
Also consider what would take the place of routine grooming and make up. The way I write them they don't have make up, but they have small combs they use to smooth and contour their face fur. I also make notes about how wearing their fur in certain ways looks nicer.
As for shedding, I make the assumption that routine bathing and brushing (like you would do for your pets) is a necessity for a Furry to keep that under control. Rather than a dinky 2" by 1" brush like you'd have for your cat, you'd have a full-sized brush similar in size to a hair brush, but with the wire bristles like a pet brush. I'd also imagine sales of Drain-O like products would be fairly high compared to with humans and cleaning the little grill over the drain in the bathtub during a shower would be a must. (I'm a VERY hairy man and I have to clean it a couple times while I shower, I imagine with Furries it might be four or five times.)
But, hey, I thought I was the only one thinking that logically about them. I also have my Furries smelling like the animal they look like, so the cute little Vixen I have the pictures of stinks and her smell changes when her mood changes.

good points, thought out well, I'd say. I had similar thoughts about the people in my stories, but with different details.
at some german furry forum someone made athread asking the same question... what would change within society when we would be furries all over, and some interesting thoughts came up.
and a long list with vehicles with animal names roaming the streets.
hey, what solution would you have regarding drying the fur after showering? someone came up with a dry-blower apparatus built into the shower cabin blowing the water out of the hairs after showering, and I think it might work after all...

I have pondered such issues myself... I figure tattoos would be more about really cleaver dye jobs on the fur, and that Flowbee would be a much more popular item.

dingle bells, dingle bells, dingle all the way...
awesomely funny, and so hitting the point, it's almost cynical. :)
I guess if a furry would tend to 'dingle' they would shave off the excess fur. most animals are really hairy in places where a human-like critter would get into trouble with it. just think of hairknots between the legs and such.

I always did wonder about that. Would make laundry a more common affair, and the Draino people would be rolling in more money than all the oil industries combined. Not to mention that maid services would become obsolete, since they could, in theory, clean forever and really never clean anything.
What I really fear for are some of the more... funky animal things. Like the kind of stuff people always neglect in their species (scent glands, anatomy, etc.) that would make anything from clothes shopping to simple public manner very.... interesting.

This is hilarious, and is also a very very good point too!
Imagine shedding all over your clothes too! Ugh! You'll run out of lint rollers so quickly. xD
And bathing, bathing a dog alone is a pain within it's self, so imagine bathing yourself every time you needed to do it...that could possibly take a while. x3
And the problem with clothes...well, that right there is a whole story in it's self.

Eeewww the skin munchies totally grossed me out haha
Ah, people in general lose about 100 hairs a day (true fact!) but thats natural, just like we shed our skin everyday. It's funny when you mentioned that because I have synthetic dreads braided in & when I first took them off after having them in for 5 weeks, I was combing out like actual HAIR BALLS from my head. I almost shat a brick, so thats when I found out that people shed just like cats or dogs lolz.
But at the same time I would imagine if there were half animal/human creatures roaming as normal society..then we'd adapt in our own way (grooming products, clothing, medicines, etc) just like how we treat anything else that comes into our lives these days ;D
Personally it wouldn't dig it. I think being human is aight ;]

I saw this and lol'd ...
Then I thought ... OMG Money! Vacuum booths that suck off the excess fur to be knit into coats for all the hairless cats out there! Dried lizard skin flakes for breakfast! Anti-pheremones so everyone within wind-range doesn't know you just thought that afghan hound on the corner was really hot!

Hehehehehe... XD I honestly wouldn't care about the shedding. I think the oooooonly things I couldn't deal with would be being fat and fluffy durring this desert heat (gal;kjda;ijgdaijgfdi!!!!!!!), the fact pools would like the bird and scale types better (as they wouldn't shed fur and clog the filters), and then there's the whole damn tail loop placement in pants/shorts (asuming it's cheaper to buy the 'human model' pants and needing to add the loops yourself).
You know, I feel tatoos *might* be possable as it would take a LOT of (and prolly painfull) deep-dye to bleed into the fur, but the thing I feel sorry for is the furs who wish to quit smoking and happen to be the critters who don't have porous skin. It'd be impossable to use medical patches XD
Awesome pic =3 I love it when real life is applied to anthropomorphics like that XD

I've thought about it before.
Kissing would be more awkward for some species, and they'd have to groom daily, fuzzy or otherwise. I'd imagine scales may be tricky to keep too.
Oh lawdy. Imagine lunch ladies...covered from head to toe in saran wrap!
And shedding season'd be a nightmare.
