Nekos are not Inappropriate. in fact they are accepted in more places than Visa's and Mastercards. ;)

As for cat girls... uh... since Kat HAS one as her advatar, I think I'll behave myself and not post the please spay your cat girl poster. ;)

Nekos are not furries. Furries, or "anthros" are animals with humanlike characteristics, not anime catgirls. I'm in the furry fandom, and nekos are part of the anime fandom.

Actually, no. Not in their natural envioment. Most of the cat girls I see here in Japan are used just as cute avatars for various ads or posters, not echi at all.

You can probably get one printed up.

Or, sadly, you could probably FIND a shirt that said that in English somewhere in Tokyo.

Depends on if you're using the Japanese word for cat, or the slang term used by Westerners for cat-girls. Either way, they are acceptable. And cat girls are damned sexy. Anyone who says they're not is wrong.

Was it Smunkee who's cat I named Yakineko? I forget. I seem to have a talent for naming pets with unusual names. when my neighbors were recently given a rabbit by their school, I named him too. He was hopping up and down the couch in the TV room, and then just flooped down in a really funny fashion. I called him Couch potato and it stuck. :D

Anywho, I know a few cats named neko.

You mean those stupid kids who like to read Japanimation and think they love Japanese culture because their favorite anime is from japan, and wear stupid shirts that have a Japanese character and is translated to "peace" or "love", and eat pockys and ramen noodles?

Neko Portraits

Neko is our bunny. He is a Netherlands dwarf rabbit. We bought him from a PetSmart in Chicago in summer of 1998. He was our first mammalian pet, and is still our first and only lagomorph. He is a friendly but naughty house rabbit who lives in a fine two-story rabbit house from Leith Petwerks.
