The only one who can decide if you are a furry is you. If you think you are the answer is yes, if you think you aren't the answer is no. You'll find slice of life comics for anything, in jokes and furry slice of life too.
You might be thinking of de-clawing, which is a surgical procedure where the whole first joint is removed. Just trimming might hurt an outdoor cats ability to hunt, but they probably shouldn't be outside anyway.
I've touched on a few similar themes myself (see my doppelganger) https://yiffit.net/post/3113251 and https://yiffit.net/post/11919426 Since those posts I've joined in a few other places online and I'm not sure I really feel a part of those groups, but I do feel free to just be me there (here too usually). In person stuff hasn't really changed though. I'll disagree with omegamouse on one thing, I don't think the lockdown has as much impact as they think. The bubble building and online validation had been building for a long time, I think it was more of a correlation as opposed to a causation.
I don't know if this is part of the case, but browsers basically control standards, and with the size of chrome, that means google controls the standards. The browser is a big aspect of the ad pipeline. Because they have the browser they could direct page views to themselves more than they do by using amp links. Even with blocking cookies and such, chrome still sends data back to google. There was the whole logon scheme they were pushing (I don't remember the name) that only chrome would be able to do. There is a lot you can direct to yourself if you control the main access method.
