I work my way up if asked.
You will laugh if I'm slothful,
And cry if I'll not careful.
I can make your mouth shut,
followed by that furry nut!

You are a...
Zipper!
Starts out from the last,
Begins with the letter 'Z'
I work my way up if asked.
If you pull at a zipper, it goes up!
You will laugh if I'm slothful,
People who leave their fly open are readily mocked!
And cry if I'll not careful.
Ouch!
I can make your mouth shut,
A 'zipper-mouth' is a common analogy for someone who is keeping schtum.
followed by that furry nut!
... self explanatory?

I think the answer is:
Toothpaste
Explanation:
Starts out from the last,
You start pushing the toothpaste out by pressing from the bottom...
I work my way up if you ask it.
...and then moving up as you use it.
You will laugh if I'm slothful,
Maybe this alludes to toothpaste coming out slowly which is a convenience
And cry if I'll not careful.
If it comes out all of a sudden, it can spill and go waste.
I can make your mouth shut,
You shut your mouth to brush your teeth.
followed by that furry nut!
This refers to the toothbrush.
