I think there's a pretty solid line between kemonomimi and furry. Horo is a kemonomimi, 100%. No fur, just ears and tail in her usual form. The fact she can take on a wolf form has nothing to do with it. A number of mimis can take on purely bestial forms, but that doesn't make them furries. The defining characteristic of furries is the... fur.

But that's just IMO. Will always be argument about it, unfortunately. But I'm a pretty big kemonomimi fan (have quite a collection, and run a kemonomimi potd site) so I'll always have a pretty solid stance on the matter. ^^;
