I think the biggest downside to having animal ears and a tail would be trying to mask your discomfort in public like imagine trying to play it cool in customer service but your tail keeps bristling
if i had animal ears and a tail girls would always know im into them cause my dumb tail wouldnt stop wagging. the girl i think is cool at the gas station would literally be able to see my stupid puppy tail wagging back and forth and id look like a silly little mutt. id literally have no hand in the situation (<- george costanza ass way to express that thought)
George Costanza would make a great puppygirl.
