With Big Eyes and Even Bigger Hearts, Catgirls Will Have You Purring!

In fiction, catgirls are characters that have feline/animalistic features and personalities or can simply be real-life girls in cat costumes. We like them both. 😊 Often considered the Japanese version of America’s Playboy Bunny, catgirls are normally cute, playful, naïve, and innocent. Depending on the media, they may have fluffy ears, tails or even unique eyes that are shaped similar to the one of a cat.

But where did this representation come from you may ask? Ancient Egypt would be our first guess! The Egyptian goddess Bastet is depicted as a woman with the head of a lion or sometimes simply a cat-headed woman. But Bastet is not today’s modern image of a catgirl, those pretty little kitties come from a different origin altogether. Let’s look at what makes today’s catgirls purrrr….

 

Catgirl History

References to catgirls, also called nekomusume, can be found as far back as the 18th century when a woman/cat hybrid sculpture was put on display at an exhibition. By 1936, Japanese street theater brought catgirls back into the limelight.

Looking at modern day pop culture, the 1940’s truly brought us two biggies. Anime saw its first catgirl in The King’s Tail (Ousama no Shippo) and DC comics brought us the super scrumptious Catwoman and villainous Cheetah.

You might think of Hello Kitty as appearing next. In 1974-1975, Yuko Simizu created Hello Kitty, a pop culture icon who first appeared on a coin purse. Years later, catgirls had grown in popularity through a multitude of manga titles and when the 1990s hit, these hot pussycat characters would feature in tons of anime and manga. Were willing to wager that this is when many of us Otaku fell in love.

Catgirls have become so popular that they can even be found by the hundreds at anime conventions such as Nekcon, neko being the Japanese word for “cat.”  You can bet they need to stock that show with lots of kitty treats and cat litter!

 

Animal Roleplay

Not all catgirls are cute and cuddly moe characters. For example, animal roleplay is a very popular form of erotic fetishism that sexualizes our furry friends. Focusing mainly on psychodrama and playing, it can be a fun and leisurely activity. Using toys and other costumes, people usually assume the role of a feline by purring, rubbing and acting the way a cat would do, but in a sexy way! When taken to the next level, animal roleplay can easily dip its toes into the BDSM world and when it does, it is often referred to as petplay.

Petplay is all about dom/sub relationships where individuals are treated like animals.  If you’re a fan of psychodrama and costuming, you may already know this, if not, read on! But first, you may need some props, search online and fill your shopping cart with leashes, chains, collars, catsuits, ears, muzzles, harnesses and more.

  

Our Favorite Catgirls in Anime

Fairy Tale features a couple of catgirls including Millianna and Carla. Milliana is curvy and has a catlike eyes, nose and mouth, her whiskers are cute red tattoos on her face! Carla is literally a tiny cat that stands, walks and talks like a person (designed similarly to Hello Kitty).

Another great example of catgirls in Anime is Blair from Soul Eater. Her feline mannerisms are the best, making her one of the cutest catgirls and clear pick of the litter.

Eris from the anime Cat Planet

Our Favorite Catgirls in Video Games

In 1990, the world was introduced to Nei, one of the main characters of the Sega Genesis game, Phantasy Star II. Nei had catlike features such as long ears, a tail and claws. If you played the game, you might remember how incredible it was to have her on your side during battle and how devastating it was to lose her.

Felicia in Darkstalkers also comes to mind as another hot piece of cat tail. She has a mane of long blue hair, cute little fangs, claws and some of the nicest boobs in Capcom history! She’s basically nude with only tiny patches of white fur covering up her fun bits, we certainly hope she likes to cuddle by the fire on a cold winter's night.

Lethe from Fire Emblem is the epitome of a catgirl with stereotypical cat ears and a cat tail. The big difference with her is how tough she is, her personality is a bit more tense than most other carefree catgirls out there, but we still love her.
