Foxes can shed quite a lot and having a friend helping with all that undercoat is useful! Neem the corsac getting plucked by Ru the hairless cat. The Big City is full of animals so lots of shed undercoat gets gathered and spinned to make warm winter clothes for hairless and short haired inhabitants.

I think it's because most part of fantasy it's based on opposition of cultures and not on the importance of collaboration, so furries are always people x vs. people y in disguise . That is good because we all love some sword clashing and head chopping but may get redundant after a while...
even 20+ years ago when i was first in the fandom i was tired of the idea of "the rabbit kingdom (england) vs the wolf kingdom (germans)" ngl
people like, i think, also to use furries just as stand-ins for humans without going into any of the thought detail about what and why they are a lot and it's such a missed chance because you can make it all so WEIRD but a weird that makes so much more sense than without

Lem was a polish s-f writer. He once said (more or less, it is hard to translate):
If you can remove from your work all sf/fantasy elements and it won't break your story, then you are not writing a sf/fantasy.
This is similar to what you were talking about. The fact that one can replace all furries with humans and it won't be any different to the story shows that the work in question isn't a "true" fantasy.
I personally like a lot such works like yours where you find out what a society with fur/scales/feathers/what-have-you could create. Your stories aren't "human-replacable", so they are a real not-of-this-world creations.

YEAH that's the thing i was trying to recall the name of
back when i was more Opinionated on Things i always said if you can just replace the furries with humans and species with ethnicities and nothing is lost, then you're doing it wrong
these days i care a lot less, people just like the aesthetics of furry and that's cool!
