mamals can use fur for many things. They can use it for heat in cold climates, and protection. Have you ever noticed that a beaver uses it's fur to stay dry? the oils in the coat keep water away from it's skin. Cats will also poof out their fur to make them look bigger when facing an enemy, such as another cat.
