Well, you're definitely spot on about there being too big a deal being made of it. (The rest of this post took me about 20 minutes to build up the nerve to just bull-rush my way through.)
As to what it is, you're probably in the ballpark.
Since a few days ago, I've had a mental image locked in my head of a new incarnation of my online avatar, Will Rennar; rather than being human, he was a silver-furred wolf. On top of that, I've been, for want of a more blatant term, looking at the art CDs I bought from Jodi Tong a few months back a bit more.
The other night I finally just sat down and asked myself a simple question:
"Am I a furry?"
Answer used to be "no," probably because I've always had this mindset where, since I have no interest in ever wearing a fursuit, I don't meet some pre-conceived requirements...it's ridiculous, I know.
After some introspection on it, though, now I'd have to say...
A bit, kinda, but...basically, yes.
...And in hindsight, I really can't see why that was so hard to admit. o_O;
