ok so it's a well known fact that saying shit like "my friend dave is my spirit animal" is both cultural appropriation and insensitive. the long time recommended mitigation has been to substitute "spirit animal" with a harry potter reference, but that means doing your part to keep making trans phobe rowling very rich and you should stop doing that. I propose "fursona" as a modern, tasteful alternative.
