Some people fantasize about living in a world where humans are not the only sentient race. Some of these people not only want to live in a world like that but would also like to be something other than a human. Wearing a suit is currently the closest thing to the actual fantasy itself, unless you count cosmetic surgery (which is too dangerous for most people to consider and can produce some uncanny valley-worthy results).
And with regards to the art, while a lot of people do find anthropomorphised animals attractive, very few (that I know of) feel the same way about the actual animals themselves. The humanization is the key component that makes it attractive.
