Here're a few suggestions:
-Instruction by the elders of a furry species' clan, for someone who's just been transformed into their kind.
-Humans and our closest living relatives are highly social. What keeps an anthro version of some other species together, one that's not innately so social?
-After an unexpected change of sex/species, a friendship might become more than that.
-In science fiction, the designer of a race of robots is usually a single male. Why?
-A distant colony world has a lightspeed communication delay of years with Earth, and limited bandwidth. What do the worlds talk about?
