Your question struck a chord with me and I'm not sure why. The closest thing to an animal in my books is a character in my sci-fi novel Princess of Amathar. He is a supporting character and is a dog-like alien, but I never thought of him as an animal. In my Senta and the Steel Dragon books, there are lizardmen; definitely not fuzzy. One of my favorite books of all time though is Watership Down. Maybe someday I will write a book with animal characters.
