I agree...and they're more kitsune than neko...since kitsune is fox and neko is cat lol

Neko has come to sort of encompass a human with any creature's ears and tail. The proper term is actually kemonomimi for miscellaneous animals, but due to popular culture etc. neko is more frequently used. I've tried using kemonomimi in picture descriptions/explaining in real life before but it doesn't get the same recognition that neko does. While I hate using a word improperly, the definition seems to actually be changing (with some websites citing that though neko means cat nekomimi can sometimes refer to humans with other animal characteristics.)

They are certainly not kitsune, that's an entirely different mythological creature with particular attributes and connotations.

I bow to thee *bows* for you have certainly done your research! Which makes me feel much better =^ ^=

Hahaha thanks sweetheart. I'm really into the neko/kemonomimi scene being one myself. I'm glad that SOME people realize that neko is the improper term hahaha. But I have trouble convincing people of the differences between a furry and a neko, much less a nekomimi and a kemonomimi lol

*laughes* If you saw my normal name you'd get it
