I've never seen a furry whip, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. :)
One problem I have with fur is allergies. I'm rather allergic to rabbit,
and the only real animal fur we have here is a rabbit pelt my husband
acquired when he was young. He gets to keep it boxed up and way away from
me. :) (I've told him that if he really wanted to actually display it,
he could seal it in plastic and do so. I just don't want to breathe
anywhere near it.)
The rabbit allergy wreaks havoc on me if I need to go to a pet store near
Easter. I've given up on going to the small local independent chain
because the stores tend to have allergy-provoking animals near the cash
register on a regular basis; the last time I went to one of them, there
were rabbits not 5 feet (1.6 meters or so) from the counter, and I was
miserable for the next hour. In principle, I'd like to go to the small,
local, independent stores, but if it's going to hurt me in practice, I'll
go to the national chain instead.
