Before I get TL;DR here, I'd like to say that she has the fluffiest tail I've seen in a long time, and that includes the RL arctic fox I found in someone's DA faves.
I've enjoyed your art for a long time, and this piece really made me think about why.
I've never seen Rayvenwolffe's character before, and I won't go to her page until after I've said my piece here - I want to form my impression solely from this picture, without being influenced by other visions of her. Despite my hanging out here and making the occasional comment, most of the time if I find an anthro character attractive, it is because of the humanoid rather than the animal qualities. Yet, here is a woman I find lovely, but she has almost none of the humanoid cues I would usually go by - her clothing is completely unrevealing and her chest is hidden by the plushie. We can't tell much about her figure except that she is neither obese nor emaciated nor outrageously proportioned. A surprisingly large portion of the human brain is devoted to interpreting the facial expressions of other humans, but her face, while appealing, is not human.
That, I think, is why your characters so often appeal to me. There is just enough cartoon quality in your faces and body language that they convey emotion and personality without being a blend of human and animal which falls into the uncanny valley. You have a gift for making these fantasy characters seem both alive and likeable.
I usually just admire in silence, or make an inane comment. I doubt if this logorrhea is an improvement, but it is a testament to the power of your art that you can make a shy geek like me this effusive.
Okay, I'll now.

I have been collecting them for years pretty much as long as I can remember. Most are small ones, and about 20 key chain sized ones, but the prize of my collection is a life size tiger plush which makes an excellent reading pillow, or something to snuggle up to when I'm alone at home =)
