Long fake fur is cut from the back, not from the front. Trace your pattern on the back and then gently cut out your pattern with a razor blade rather than with a scissor. Be very careful to cut only the backing, not the fur and then very gently pull your fabric apart. This way you will keep the long hair rather than end up with straight across "bangs".
Heavy fleece is a good alternative when making stuffed animals, rather than using the fur.
