A '''catgirl''', also known as '''Nekomusume''' 猫娘 or '''Nekomimi''', '''猫耳''' in the original Japanese, is (normally) a [[female]] [[Human|human/humanoid]] with such traits as [[cat]] ears, tail, whiskers and/or other feline characteristics. <br />
<br />
Catgirls are common characters in Japanese [[animé]], [[manga]], and [[video game]]s media. They are often misnamed as '''Neko girls'''.<ref>[http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=neko+girl&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi Google image results for '''Neko girls''']</ref><br />

==Catgirls and furry==<br />
<br />
Catgirls are generally not considered a "[[furry]]," character or person wise, as their animal traits are simply cute add-ons to an otherwise [[human]] character. <br />
<br />
However, there are exceptions; for example, [[Natsuki Sasahara]] from [[Hyper Police]] is considered to be furry due to her personality and instincts, which are significantly more feline than the standard nekomimi. <br />
<br />
In addition, the "furriness" of catgirls varies from fan to fan, with some accepting catgirls as furries.<br />
