     There's a fairly good reason for this, on my part at any rate, I
didn't simply just disregrard her. I have come across a lot of "career
women", and Ann strikes me as extremely focused (focussed?) with little
room for romance. It's almost like she's written that way to ward off
any attempts to integrate the female aspect of her character as some kind
of plot device.

     The furry.fandom thing in cartoons is self-perpetuating. Furry folk
who have an "interest" in such characters are often looked down upon by
the studios, yet the character developers create aspects of Callie,
Felina and Ann specifically to appeal to such people. Go fig. I suppose
the same could be said of Razor and T-Bone, but it's less (IMO) obvious.
As far as Furry-infatuation with the characters, I usually find it makes
the particular person interesting, not a sicko, but I know others that
hold the complete opposite opinion - they're just usually more vocal.
