A catgirl (猫娘, nekomusume) is a female kemonomimi character with feline traits, such as cat ears (猫耳, nekomimi), a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body. They are not individuals who are literal cats but individuals who only look superficially feline.[1] Catgirls are found in various fiction genres, particularly in Japanese anime and manga.[2] Catboy is a term for the male equivalent of said character type.
