Twitter has guidelines for using their trademarks, so that other sites like Tumblr and Facebook can integrate Twitter without having to talk to them directly.
The point of a trademark is to instantly identify the owner of said trademark - therefore, the trademark must be consistent, so Twitter has a very strict set of standards for how to display it. "Do not anthropomorphize" is one of them.

The best part is that TwitterFur wears the perfectly on-model Twitter logo on her shirt, and therefore is probably completely in line with the guidelines.
