A par question...
Personally, I would have to say no. In my experience, things that would be regularly qualified as 'furry' material are very anthropomorphic--that is, they replace what would regularly be humans by human-like animals in their place.
Digimon, pokemon, etc, all create a niche for the 'monsters'. They stand as another type of characters with the humans, rather than replacing. Oftentimes, their 'humanity'--or, more precisely, their 'un-monsterness' is touched upon as a character development--i.e, the whole 'absorption of data' debate that the Season 3 digimon, especially Renamon, go through.
That kind of distinction is absent in furry material. In furry material, they just insert anthropomorphic animals into human parts. So, my answer is no.
