Removed at will?[edit]

Really? Actually,Kemon. can't remove their tails or ears,they're apart of them. 98.14.15.12 21:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I thought kemonomimi were only human-fleshed characters and characters with colored fur counted as furries. The image shows what looks to me like a combination of both furries and kemonomimi. 24.94.82.36 09:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The "fur" part of furry isn't necessarily literal, as some furries are reptilian or avian and thus would have scales or feathers rather than actual fur. As for whether it's a requirement, I don't know enough about kemonomimi to answer that. --mwalimu 14:33, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
It depends on the character & story; in some, kemonomimi are basically humans wearing props while in others they are actually hybrid characters, largely human but some animal features and sometimes certain behaviour or vocalizations based on the animal species, hence meowing (neko), yipping (kitsune, inu), whickering or whinneying (uma), lowing (ushi). I confess I'm not really sure what noises rabbits make. GingerM (Leave me a message) 09:01, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
