First off, nice sarcasm. Entirely required.
Second:
Hold on a sec... what premise? Last I checked, the definition of anthropomorphic fiction is pretty liberal. There are animal-like characters present, and so the stories fit the premise perfectly. If you are going to tighten up that definition, better contact Oxford, Webster, etc. because otherwise you are kind of going out on a limb there. You are creating, as I said, an entirely artificial attribute, the boundaries of which you define, and then focus on that instead of actual story elements. It'd say that IS a pretty big mystery.
