9) 1 . . . snow_shoes_(character) . . . (char category)

Where to begin?

Let's start with tags snowshoemama/snowshoemama_(artist).
While some people may think character is named Snowshoemama (or are just referring to artist's username)...
artist with FA username Showshoemama (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/snowshoemama/ )
has snow leopard character named Apricity (model sheet: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19599337/ )

and apparently NO character named Snowshoemama (FOLDER of model sheets: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/snowshoemama/folder/672787/Character-refs )

ONE post tagged with snowshoemama: post #1402069

Taking a brief break from the tags to look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowshoe

so the thing you put under your footwear to walk in (deep) snow is .... a showshoe.

(BACK TO tags)

So seems odd that plain snowshoe tag would be a character tag.
The good news is that character's full name is SnowShoe Frostpaw (model sheet: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29050011/
uploaded by FA username Snowshoehusky )

So that character can be tagged as showshoe_frostpaw.

Next the species
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowshoe_cat

I have to ask how we are defining snowshoe_cat (no wiki at moment)

(If I'm reading the Wikipedia article correctly) a snowshoe_cat's feet (& hands if anthro) should all be white (TOP and sides?).
(not necessarily the bottom of the feet ... such as paw-pads)

Tagged with snowshoe_cat:

(ignoring Sugar_Sprinkles posts ... since https://lps2012.fandom.com/wiki/Sugar_Sprinkles says she is a "Snowshoe Cat". Looking at https://lps2012.fandom.com/wiki/Sugar_Sprinkles/Gallery ... it appears her rear-feet are NOT white)

post #1113403 where hands NOT white, SIDE of foot NOT white (ONLY see ONE foot and see only its bottom and a side)

post #927713 where hand NOT white (Feet NOT visible. With other hand only the palm is visible)

post #687484 has Faye character with front feet which are white (rear-feet not visible)

post #669563 has one white(ish)-hand. The other hand may not have front visible. Feet seem to be non-white.

post #653908 ... hand maybe white (too much shadow). No feet visible.

post #598630 both hands & feet seem to be white. (HUZZAH)

Switching to tag snow-shoe-cat (only ONE post):
post #1228465 : NONE of the hands NOR feet are white.

snowshoe_hare looks FINE

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I assume snowshoe_paws is for paws that are wide-and-white???

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Only three posts tagged with snowshoes

showshoes depicted at post #2059071 AND post #223852

I don't see any showshoe(s) at post #258031 (RE-tag as snowshoe_paws ???)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

LAST tag:

snow_shoes_(character)

ONE post: post #2768323
(source: page at derpibooru.org tagged with "derpibooru exclusive")(apparently character of artist badumsquish )

Tags AT derpibooru include "oc:snow shoes",
so tag at e621 seems ok.
