Home Security--Fill with sandbags, suspend on a cable and hang in a corner. When activated by a tripwire release, the weighted suit slams into the unwanted guest while scaring the heck out of him.

The home Security glomp. Keep the burglars out of your house by having a giant animal leap at them upon entering the home.

As a very fancy seat cover for your vehicle.

Do what Takata should have done.

Use fursuits as airbags in vehicles!

 No one will get hurt by a big fluffy bag of roasting hot air and fur wrapping around their head at the speed of light!
Only draw back is the size.  Oh well, just make the center of the steering wheel as big as a beach ball.  ...Cuz thats safe...

Who needs to be able to see the speedometer, or that pesky flashing red light when driving.  They just distract you anyway.
At least you will have comfort knowing that a cute furry animal will pop out and wrap its arms around you in your last moments.  :)
(I am a mind reader too)

I think I will ask my dealer for the large stoat option for the side curtain airbags, and perhaps bunnies for the frontal air bags.
Or maybe a red fox, they don't show the blood as bad.

Walking through the mosquito infested park, it became clear to me that perhaps I should have worn more clothes.
Would a fursuit work well to block mosquitoes from biting you?
No chemicals needed,  also has SPF  rating of over 30 I bet.

I just saw this video from a furry youtuber talking about this very subject.

Oh Pocari Roo!  8) I love her, and the accent.  :-[
Dang!  She listed a few of the ones we came up with...
But I am not deterred!
I shall keep thinking!

Again fill one with sandbags, set up seated dog-style, and a motion-sensor-activated dog bark sound chip. Place the assembly near your back door to discourage burglars, canvassers, and salesmen.

Procure a Boston Dynamics humanoid robot, dress it in a fursuit.  Then take it for a walk in the park.
That will scare the stuffing out of people!

Stuff the fursuit with straw and use it as a scarecrow in a corn field.

Put the fursuit head on the wall next to all the other animal head trophies. :D

Use it as flooring in children's playground, that way kids land softly if they fall off something. Or y'know, do other kinds of reckless stuff.

Embed carbon fiber threads into it, pass 12 volts dc through those fibers.  They make heat like an electric seat heater for a vehicle.  Then wear the suit in very cold climates as an electric blanket.  Seriously...could be a market for these things.  I can just see a hyena on a snowmobile in -40 weather.

I'm doing it...

Could people at an animal hospital wear fursuits that mimic the type of animal they are working on? In an attempt to reduce stress on the animal patient.  Of course when the animal is asleep, during surgery, no need for a disguise.  Or would it stress the animal more.  Or are they not fooled by a suit?

Use it as a beach towel for when you're at the beach and need something to lay on.

Well, I have suited at a wrestling show three times thus far.  My reasons for going in suit is I used to be involved with this indy promotion, and I didn't want the fans to know I was there.  Thus far, only one fan knows who I am (because she saw me with my fursuit head off).  Even the wrestlers weren't sure who I was at first.

You can use the fursuit as a replacement for this...
You might want to be careful.

Okay so my last post on this thread maybe wasn't so useful. 

But what about using a fursuit to make cottage cheese, to strain out the watery portion, keeping the curds.
Just fill a glove with curds and whey, squeeze, and get the cottage cheese out.

Stuff one, lay it next to you in bed, to be a stand in for your mate who is away.  *nervous laughter * :-[

Wear it when training attack dogs, that way they don't bite much because you are a bigger dog than they are.

Perform CPR on it for practice. Mouth to muzzle and chest compressions.

Use the hand paws to set hot food containers on to keep from burning the table? Especially if they have silicone paw pads.

Drink champagne out of a foot paw at a furry wedding?

Use one to cast a shadow on the inside of your windows so people think you are home, and you have a false alibi. Kind of like a Perry Mason episode.

Stuff one, set it between two cranky children who are fighting in the back seat of a car during long trips.  Maybe they would settle down.

Stuff one, throw it into a volcano to satisfy the gods by fooling them, and no one dies?

Punching bag.
