* Actually very well avoided in ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}'' -- Their anthros were originally created experimentally by humans, first just rabbit-people, then, presumably, all species. [[spoiler: The reason we don't see humans in their world is because they killed them all.]] Non-anthro animals remain exactly as they are for us. There is the strange matter that the furries can interbreed, and become strange mixed-species creatures, yet almost all of them appear to be one pure, unmixed species.
** The most popular explanation for the interbreeding is having a common base in the form of human DNA with some extra bits from other species spliced in. Enough to give the distinct appearances, but not enough to create true separate species.

** In the same comic, a cat character has numerous pet cats, and says that it's instructive to have a pet with all of your instincts and none of your higher thoughts.
* Explained in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1200/fv01144.htm Florence]] is a genetically engineered creature based on wolves. She occasionally deals with more mundane [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00410.htm canines]]. There's [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00463.htm another sequence]] that explains how she originally resembled a normal wolf cub, but had to adapt to bipedalism as she matured. Talk about growing pains.
* Every creature in ''KevinAndKell'' is anthropomorphic, down to the ''bacteria''. The confusion here mainly has to do with their size. Some of the insects we see are the size of the main characters, about human sized. Others are tiny, as you would expect from insects. The real confusion sets in when we see examples of both sizes from the '''same species''', like the moths.
** Lifespans are also massively screwed up -- just check out [[http://www.kevinandkell.com/2008/kk0707.html this strip]]. For those not knowing, a fifteen year old wolf in the real world would be either dead or in their dotage. One day, however, is about right for (adult) mayflies.
** And then there's the morality of carnivorous people; apparently it's alright for them to kill herbivores, even though they're quite sapient. In fact, the one of the main foci of the strip is carnivores and herbivores getting involved in relationships, to the point that the eponymous characters are a married carn/herb couple -- and yet there's no problem that [[MoralDissonance Kell's job is to kill massive amounts of herbivores]].
** Apparently murder is acceptable as long as it's part of the natural preying process (the incident that granted everything sapience is pointedly established as having done nothing for morality). This means that predator species can, literally, get away with murder, while the same act is criminal for prey species. Kevin's father is in prison for killing a carnivore (which admittedly gave him a badass cred). No one seems to think this is unfair, either.

Despite this, dogs have been shown talking on a few occasions. It could be that cats in the Achewood universe simply look down on dogs and refuse to consider them equals, much like [[CatsAreMean in real life.]]
* ''YouSayItFirst'' averts this; the pets shown have been Brants (a creature vaguely similar to a rabbit or cat, with blue or purple fur; not the RealLife goose) or fish.
* ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' depicts a world mixed with humans and anthropomorphic animals, sans Leonard, the TeamPet who is just a regular platypus. A perfectly regular platypus with an as-yet unexplained three-foot poisonous barb that occasionally bursts forth from his upper spine, in place of the barbs on the back of his... Flippers? Claws? Duck feet.
* ''{{SSDD}}'' usually averts any mention of species, but mentions it at least twice in relation to an affair between two characters of different "species" (which is apparently considered an unusual fetish even though it's common amongst featured characters).
* ''NobodyScores'' knows what to do with those damn furries. [[http://nobodyscores.loosenutstudio.com/index.php?id=33 War, and lots of it!]]
* ''MurryPurryFreshAndFurry'' takes place in a world where furries live alongside normal animals, a fact that the characters regularly acknowledge [[http://www.murrypurry.com/?p=138 does not make sense]].
* In an early ''[[http://www.catandgirl.com Cat and Girl]]'', the anthropomorphic eponymous Cat [[http://catandgirl.com/?p=1548 flirts with a non-anthropomorphic cat]].
* ''TheKennyChronicles'' regularly shows regular cats, dogs, mice, and chickens alongside [[FunnyAnimal Tarnekis]] but there seems to be a pretty clear distinction between the two ([[http://www.kennychronicles.com/2009/05/04/hell-forget-about-it-later/ this comic]] notwithstanding)
** Also a strip from the sequel comic ''Ferrets vs. Lemmings'' where [[http://ferretsvslemmings.com/archive/dook-dook-doppleganger/ a lemming dressed up a pet ferret like the ferret king.]]
* ''LasLindas'' eventually explains that their anthros are aliens that happen to resemble earth animals, but before that revelation, it's shown that one of the two cow-anthro characters runs ''a milk factory'', and the other runs a dairy farm. To add to the confusion, no non-anthro cows and almost no non-anthro animals have been shown.
* Mewsli from ''[[http://www.tinykittenteeth.com/ Tiny Kitten Teeth]]'' is an anthropomorphic cat who has a pet regular cat. Lampshaded in an early comic when he brings the pet cat on a bus and someone thinks that it's his child.[[hottip:* :Which just raises further questions, if they can't tell furries and regular animals apart.]]
* Appears in ''{{Pandect}}'', where there is a clear difference between animals with souls and the ability to wear a human form (Aces) and animals without souls. Aces sometimes have a sense when a human or animal is another Ace, but they do not know for certain until the other Ace reveals it.
* Actually very well avoided in ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}'' -- Their anthros were originally created experimentally by humans, first just rabbit-people, then, presumably, all species. [[spoiler: The reason we don't see humans in their world is because they killed them all.]] Non-anthro animals remain exactly as they are for us. There is the strange matter that the furries can interbreed, and become strange mixed-species creatures, yet almost all of them appear to be one pure, unmixed species.
** The most popular explanation for the interbreeding is having a common base in the form of human DNA with some extra bits from other species spliced in. Enough to give the distinct appearances, but not enough to create true separate species.
* I believe [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-052807.php this gem]] from ''AwkwardZombie'' used to be the page picture.
* The webcomic ''Moo & Keo'' gives us [[http://www.mookeo.com/archive/2009-06-01-2a7061a/ this example]].
* Variation in ''BarD'': It's established that all animals exist in both anthropomorphic and non-anthropomorphic varieties . . . which leads to Vas being bewildered when he sees a human, because he can't even begin to imagine what a [[OxymoronicBeing non-anthropomorphic human]] looks like. Shelia's attempt to explain how anthropomorphism works just leads him to believe that humans are "empty shells, devoid of all existence".
* ''WebComic/BrawlInTheFamily'' [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/08/11/354-animals/ visits the]] ''SonicTheHedgehog'' universe.
* A sentient alligator in ''Webcomic/{{Vinigortonio}}'' in order to avoid getting headshot by Platypus's pendant attack uses the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Croc-o-style Sniper set]]... which is made from a skinned and decapitated crocodile...
* In ''FruitIncest'', Molo and Zeke are both surprised to find cheetahs at the zoo, but never question why none of the other cheetahs are anthropomorphic.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Concession}}'', Artie and Melusine go fishing and then cook their catches for dinner.
-->'''Artie:''' ''(about to eat fish and crab with Melusine)'' This feels weird. It's like I'm about to watch cannibalism.\\
'''Melusine:''' Dolphins are mammals, Artie.\\
'''Artie:''' I know! I know. But it's still weird, you know?\\
'''Melusine:''' You know what's weird? Furries that have dogs for pets. I think that's weirder than anything we do.
** Also, [[AnythingThatMoves Joel]], an anthropomorphic dog, once had sex with a non-anthropomorphic dog . . . and Artie will [[ButYouScrewOneGoat never let him forget it]].
* ''Webcomic/RankAmateur'' has [[PettingZooPeople GELF]], like Felix and Guardian, but also has normal animals. This is because GELF are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Genetically Engineered]] [[AppliedPhlebotinum Life Forms]], creatures who most commonly share DNA with humans, but also with other creatures. In some cases, a form has been made through Computer Aided Design whose DNA is entirely made up specifically for that form.
