To go on your colour splotches, I think everything has a grouping but there's always going to be the stuff on the edge which is harder to define. Like you can have splotches of green and blue next to each other, at the very edge you get that colour which people always argue over whether it's one colour or another. This happens in a lot of things, you've got music genres where you know who are the core bands that make it up without doubt and then you get these bands that are on the edge where it's harder to figure out where they lie, often they're cross-over genres. Course there is the argument that people should not be obsessed with trying to pighole a band into a genre.
I think if there was one important aspect I was to amend to "It involves anthropomorphism" I would insert the word animal in. Anthropomorphism only means applying human traits which would leave the door open to anthro cars and transformers and such, which to me there's no ambiguity about it, they're anthro but not furry.
That said, "It involves animal anthropomorphism" and any other definition will throw up spanners if you say have a robot that's shaped like an animal.
