While we're on the topic of clearing up terms, let's talk about kemonomimi. The term comes from the Japanese 獣耳, literally meaning "beast ear", referring to otherwise human characters who have animal ears (along with, sometimes, tails and other traits). Because cats are a popular species to use for these characters, the alternative "nekomimi" ("cat ears") is also commonly used, gradually becoming shortened to "neko girls" and, from there, just "neko". But guys. "Neko" just means "cat". Stop using it to refer to kemonomimi. 

On a similar note, "kitsune" just means "fox". While magical kitsune are a pretty big/well-known part of Japanese mythology, the term in and of itself does not necessarily imply magic powers or nine tails.
