Fur-Piled is a gay-themed slice-of-life web comic by Leo Magna. It used to be available in nine languages (English, French, Italian, Russian, Polish, German, Portuguese and both Castilian and Latin-American dialects of Spanish), but all translations has since been indisposed. The comic is now only available in english, in a pdf form on the author's patreon: Pages 1-151 Pages 152-265 Pages 266-366 Pages 367-427

The web comic was typically updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The characters in the comic never made any references to their artistically-depicted species during its run, which may, in a similar arrangement to Circles, render the characters as merely artistically-anthropomorphic representations of fictional human characters.
