Wenn Menschen zu Plüschtieren werden (When people become stuffed animals)

Why are you a furry?
This question is difficult to answer. I am a furry, because I felt connected with cats all my life. I always dreamed to be a cat, or to have a cat, so how many people dream of a unicorn or a dragon to be. And eventually crystallizes out: ok, I want to have a costume and then they realize there's a community.

Since when are you a furry?
I am here for about ten years, all my life I certainly felt myself as furry.

Why did you choose this fursuit character?
I represent a Serval. This is a medium sized cat from Africa. This figure has found me, which is based on a computer game where you can customize his character in animal costumes and I've then copied itself. You have to model the whole head, sew the paws, sew the body, the hind feet, that's a work of three days, even when working with the machine. And the head since I was about two months, though it is made of PET-grid, so this leaf guard from gutters. In the Internet there are instructions on how best to use foam insulation blankets and how to use PET mesh.

What makes the costume with you?
It makes me sweat animal (laughs). It lets you experience me to put my opponent in amazement and enthusiasm and that fills me with joy to see small children as they get stunned me and say "how fluffy". Adults who come to me and ask, "May I take a picture?". The experience of joy to others, because it is worth it to me. It makes me not feel like an animal. It gives me the chance reinzuschlüpfen in a role where I can give pleasure to others, like a clown in the circus, except that I get no money for it and make fun of it.

Who is behind the mask?
I myself am a trained locksmith, as you can see a little fuller nature (laughs). An ordinary average citizen, with normal life of from time to time purely slips into a costume that looks a little funny and fluffy.
