In general furries as a concept are often attributed to cartoon animals, which themselves came to be due to limitations in early animation.

Famously the mangaka for Astroboy, well known fan of disney and often called Grandfather of modern manga, was a furry. Her daughter straight up narc on him after his dead, showing his private drawings she found on his drawers. He was born in 1928, obviously Japan, so no gen X there.
