One of my clients at work has this IT guy with a furry profile picture on Zoom.

I assumed it was a mistake, people join with dumb pictures/names sometimes, but no. He never changed it in any of our meetings.

And then I looked at his account in our software, which allows users to upload their own photo, and he put a different furry picture there. A strictly work related account, that only his coworkers and us can see.

And you know what, I respect it.

I work as a Linux sysadmin and I have quite a few plushies strewn about my office; and for my profile pic I have Ikea Japan's Blahaj in a business suit. Have yet to here any grief about it!

Why would you get any grief for a profile picture with a proper business suit?

It's like getting mad at a male programmer for having a beard, even the business majors know it's part of the professional attire.
