OK this one is a bit of a challange...I can see that there is a nice fur look to the 2d texture map, I downloaded the picture to try out a few ideas, but one that comes to mind is to use the clone tool in photoshop, the heal tool and to select a fur brush I think I got originally from 3d menagerie....that way instead of smearing the original texture map you could actualy paint it out and away without destroying the nice fur look....
