Catgirl: Difference between revisions

* Shadow Panther, Misaki/Hikaru's first opponent in ''[[Angelic Layer]]''.

** So is Mao.

* Interesting example with the ''[[DOGS: Bullets & Carnage|DOGS Bullets and Carnage]]'' manga. There is a cat-girl... only she's at least seventy, and looks every year.

* ''[[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku]]'' although she's actually a robot with a cat's brain inside.

== Tabletop Games ==

* There are a few in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' [[Yu-Gi-Oh (Tabletop Game)|Trading Card Game]]—the two Nekogals and Thunder Nyan Nyan. The Thunder Nyan Nyan is depicted as a cat-girl playing drums.

** And there's also the "Catboi hireling" in the same game. A cute tigerstriped male in a loincloth, usable only by female characters. But he's on the player's side, not a monster.

* From the people who brought you ''[[Munchkin (game)|Munchkin]]'', there's also the game ''[[SPANC: Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls]]''. It's [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].

** Actually SURGE began with the Sixth World, when elves and dwarves first appeared. The Halley's Comet just caused a sudden and significant raise in magic level that triggered another wave of transformations (as it happened with orcs and trolls a few decades earlier) in humans. This time it was pretty random, and ranged from simple cosmetic changes, to serious cthulhu-esque monstrosities. These metahumans are known commonly as "changelings". You can find the catgirl stuff in the 'Runner's Companion'. Also, the SR level of cosmetic surgery allows easy and not-so-expensive modifications, so if you want to, you can be a catgirl.

** Averted by Striper, who's likely to eat your face if you even ''think'' of her as this trope.

* ''[[Old World of Darkness]]'' players have a couple options for making catgirls (and boys): Gangrel from ''Vampire: The Masquerade'' whose animal features "happen" to be mostly feline, Bastet [[Were Cats]], pooka from ''Changeling: The Dreaming'' with a cat affinity, and an entire kith of [[Catfolk]] (traditional look and all) among the Eastern fae with the Neyan—whose name is even the Japanese version of "meow".

** Those wanting to play catpeople in the ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' have other options: Changelings of the Beast seeming who have feline characteristics, cat Skinchangers, the Bastet Changing Breeds, and the werecats of the Colony.

** Also Arcueid, from the same series, who isn't a cat girl but occasionally grows cat ears in the same fashion as Hikaru from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''. There's also a super-deformed version, Neco-Arc. Even villain Nrvnqsr Chaos gets a super-deformed cat version of himself, Neco Arc Chaos, in the later ''[[Melty Blood]]'' games.

* Shanoa from ''[[Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia]]'' can transform into a catgirl with a particular glyph. In addition to giving her a new set of attacks, it also allows her to talk to the various cats that she rescues.

** Supporting cast member Kokonoe is another catgirl, this time quite visibly modeled after the above-mentioned nekomata, having the trademark split tail, and [[Mad Scientist|some rather... interesting hobbies.]]

* The 4 catgirls from ''[[Neko Kawaigari]]''.

* The [[H-game]] ''Mina De Nyan Nyan''.

** Repeatedly respawning just to die again seconds later can be more of a curse than a blessing, especially when he pisses off the Elf.

* The jury's still out on whether or not Gina from ''[[Outside Interference]]'' is a cat. Although she has cat-like ears and features, she lacks any visible tail, in a setting where all the other [[Anthro]] characters have them.

{{quote|''[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01192004.shtml A message from Something Positive]''': Please, for love of all that is decent, {{smallcaps|Spay/Neuter Your Catgirl}}.}}

* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' goes for the furrier side of catgirls, although technically Adharia's the only true catgirl (Jigsaw's a marsupial, but because of her otherwise feline features, ends up being the definitive catgirl for the series - although she does end up being called a rat sometimes thanks to her large ears.)

== Western Animation ==

* Ashley, a.k.a. Katnappe of ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'' seems mostly to be cosplaying a Catgirl, but her tail does twitch, her fangs are real, and her claws retractable. [[MST3K Mantra|It's best not to think about it]].

* Manny Rivera from Nickelodeon cartoon ''[[El Tigre]]'' has a superpowered alterego which is a catboy called El Tigre—he can turn into this form by spinning his mystical belt buckle. In fact, it seems ''every male in the Rivera side of the family'' consists of cat-themed supers, be they hero or villain.

* Angel in the underrated early-80's animated film ''Rock and Rule'' is clearly a biological cat-woman.

** There is actually yaoi fan-art of him and ulrich doing...things with him in lyoko "cat-boy" form.

* Subversion: Cat Man is a (very) non-sexualized hench of [[Big Bad]] Coiffio in ''[[Perfect Hair Forever]]'', a 6-episode anime parody, who appears to be a surly man in a cat costume. He hates [[Shounen]] like Gerald with a passion and will fire indiscriminately at them with a gatling gun if they bother him. He lives in a giant cat-carrier—his floor is a sea of cat litter—he frequently grooms in public, and loves batting around stuffed-mice-on-strings.

* The new ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]'' series features a race of alien humanoid cats called Catatonians- the member of this species that fits this trope is.. [[Cats Are Mean|every female Catatonian ever to appear on the show]].

* Parodied in the ''[[Stroker and Hoop]]'' episode "XXX Wife (a.k.a. Stroke Her and Boob)"; when the pornographers attempt to [[Lego Genetics|splice feline DNA]] into two [[The Ditz|ditzy]] co-eds to cash in on the [[Furry Fandom|Furry]] market, they wind up with insane mutant catgirls that [[I'm a Humanitarian|eat human flesh]].
