Goofs:

Factual errors: The lining of the costume (known as a fursuit) is described as latex. Fursuits are very warm costumes, and latex (which traps heat) would make it worse. For this reason, latex would not be used in a real fursuit, particularly in Nevada.

Quotes:

[after finding traces of semen on Bud Simmons' cat costume]
Catherine Willows: Okay, well, I've heard of some guys getting off in some weird ways, but humping an animal suit? Whatever happened to normal sex?
Gil Grissom: What is normal sex?

Movie Connections:

Tearing Me Apart

Funny, though over-exaggerating

As a person new to the furry community last year, I joined it hearing all sorts of bad things about this episode.

I finally got a chance to see it for myself awhile back. I have to say, the show kinda over exaggerated about the whole community...

The show made it seem like all furries are nothing but sex fiends that prance around in suits all day. I have to say that's only true for about 5% of the community. Most furries I meet are into being friends and talking and playing games. Only a small few of them are into nothing but sex.

The episode was funny though in showing the outsider reactions by Catherine Willows, who didn't understand that people have different kinks and they are sometimes weird.

I loved how Grissom actually took the time to see what it was all about and try and understand why some people dress up like animals.

In all the episode made me laugh and unlike most furries, I liked it.
