Nothing like starting your morning by being randomly attacked by a friend!
So do you know about CLAMP?
CLAMP is an all-female Japanese manga artist group very famous in Japan. They're also famous outside of there thanks to some very notable works such as Magic Knight Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura!
For many, their work was the first contact with kemono characters which isn't rare in their manga. One of the most famous is Cerberus (or Kero), the lovely stuffed animal that looks like a lion cub in his "fake" form but looks like a mane-less lion in his true form! And later he is joined in by Spinel Sun (aka Suppie) his rival/friend that resembles a panther in both of his forms.
Both of them are some of CLAMP's best kemono characters but there are at least two others that are very good as well. I'm talking of course about Ginsei and Genko (seems they were human but after helping a friend start a war they were punished by being turned into a wolf/rabbit hybrid and a bear respectively), from the manga Kobato.
Kobato is sadly one of those cases in which the manga is better than the anime. Probably because the anime aired when the manga wasn't finished yet it got to the point that they did stuff very differently there. So much so that Ginsei is one of the main characters of the manga just like Kobato herself but in the anime, he's like just a secondary character at best. A shame...so I recommend you check the manga instead of the anime in this one. Or just watch the anime until Ginsei shows up and read the manga because I assure you, Ginsei shows up more in the manga from that point on lol.
Also, Kobato is an anime that does something similar to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle (another one of CLAMP's manga) which is playing with the idea of a...let's call it CLAMP Cinematic Universe. Heck, in the anime, one of the episodes shows a crossover when characters from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle appeared in it! In other words, the idea of Kero and Suppi interacting with Ginsei and Genko is very possible and even canon.
if he could draw a comic based on that idea. A comic with over 30 pages showing the four guys talking and interacting together! The kind of thing I still hope we can see in a new season of the new arc of Cardcaptor Sakura one day!!
