Further Confusion is among the biggest international traditions celebrating anthropomorphism in all of its guises. With the attendance of over 3,000 and developing, it's one of the premiere events of its type. Additional Confusion includes charitable benefits, educational conferences, art shows, panels and overall social activities. This was the first event sponsored by Anthropomorphic Arts and Education Inc. and has been its largest.

A Furry creature is anthropomorphic, in which animal and human traits are equally present. It may be physical, mental or both. They may be funny or serious. Utilization of the term furry friend is limited almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other cultural groups aware of furry fandom. The term Furry is also occasionally used to refer to lovers of the anthropomorphic arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and actors, actors, voice talent, literary writers and songwriters.

Within the approved usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they are anthropomorphic, largely act like humans, and can be considered the fur con animation equivalent of character actors. On the flip side, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (although turtles do not have fur). They're usually more"realistic" in look compared to humorous animals and act more like crosses between humans and animals. They are sapient and equally as much"individuals" as any fictional character, but they are not presented as animals for laughs.

By way of example, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to each other, but their behavior and psychology is very closely derived from that detected in real life rabbits. Additional furries are not so closely tied to their own creature sides, but there's always some amount of critical consideration given for this. Andre Norton's Breed to Come, Brian Jacques' Redwall series, also Steven Boyett's The Architect of Sleep are different examples of novels featuring furries, as is Paul Kidd's Fangs of K'aath, that has been cited as a source of inspiration for many people to create miniature works.
