It's certainly an interesting idea and at least respectable. As opposed to something like Zootopia not being anthropomrophic which is patently ridiculous. I'm not saying I would disagree with you here but I'm also not sure I would say this does anything to really blur the lines between furry-related and true furry. I would put your cute animals as furry-related. Kinda of Meeko = furry-related, Nala = true furry.
