See, I had a feeling when I wrote that it was coming out wrong. I'm not feeling any better now, so make no promises this will make any more sense.
First off, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a Furry, just that like 80% of the usual meaning of the term doesn't apply to me. To me, Furry implies
a general liking of most styles of anthropomorphic animals and, all things being equal, often preferring such depictions to fiction/art with regular people;
Enjoying dressing up as animals or anthropomorphic animals, or seeing other people doing the same;
Feeling an affinity for animals in general or one species in particular;
Finding a particular enjoyment in spending time with other furries;
Liking fluffy toys;
All of the above, with "sexualised" added in there as an adjective as appropriate.
Obviously not all furries satisfy all those properties, the same way that not all nerds like space opera or computers. But me, I like some styles of art involving anthropomorphic animals as a fairly minor subgenre of the art/fiction I consume, and I like cats and other generally accepted adorable animals (though not to a very unusual extent), and that's it(*). In particular, I am really put off by sexualised anthropomorphic characters, they rub me entirely the wrong way. I don't even like obvious boobs on the female characters since the base animal doesn't look that way (human-like hair often bugs me too. I used neither in ACOS and then realised this means it is impossible to tell what gender anyone is, so I do see their purpose) Then again, I think most cartoon women could do with less obvious boobs *mutters in the direction of anime in general*.
(*)Obviously there are a lot of furries I like as people, but I'm fairly sure that's coincidental to your furriness.
