(KDKA) PITTSBURGH Have you seen anything furry lately?

Large, furry animals have converged in downtown pittsburgh.

They're here for "Anthrocon 2006".

Anthrocon's chairman says, to put it simply, this is a gathering of cartoon-animal-loving fans.

Sam Conway says Americans love their animals and "furries" are just people who go to great lengths to show it.

Many dress up in full costume and assume the full personality of their "animal."

The furries are making history this weekend.

“This is the largest anthropomorphis convention in the world,” said Conway. “We have a little more than 2,500 people so far and we still have more people coming in.”
