I’m a little squicked out by the Dopername/post combination here. > [@Evil Captor](#): > > Women like playing at being catgirls, men like women who play at being catgirls. OK, Speaker for All the World’s People, if you say so–but this man is nearly driven to homicidal rage upon the sight of catgirls. Cats are cats and people are people. I love cats and I love women, but I find they are concepts which do not mix well. ---

I wore cat ears today. Little cute sparkly ones. 🙂 ---

I think an actual realistic looking female-cat hybrid might be at the wrong section of the “uncanny valley” to be attractive. Any links to some photoshop works along these lines? I’ve never seen any attractive CGI catgirls. On the other hand I have seen some pretty sexy girls made up as catgirls. Hard to say. Maybe just some ears, a tail and some fur. That would be enough for me. ---

> [@Dijon Warlock](#): > > _that’s_ subtle. Purely for research purposes, right? Again seriously, I’ve seen zillions of cartoon cat-girls and almost no realistic looking ones (women in SF movie level makeup, or CGI as Furryman said). I really would like to compare because I’m trying to sort out if it’s the “felinity” that’s sexy, or the ultra-idealization of cartoons. I mean, compare even the most angelically beautiful real woman with fantasy art. ---

Well, all I know is that if [this “cat-woman”](http://nekoweb.topcities.com/veerle/pics.htm) ever showed up on my doorstep, I’d certainly take her in and . . . feed her. “Honi soit qui mal y pense” ---

My cat likes to open the kitchen cabinets and crawl through them, I am trying to picture a woman doing this. ---

Cats are cats and people are people. I love cats and I love women, but I find they are concepts which do not mix well. If you don’t like the catgirl game, don’t play it.

It’s nothin’ to me, go ahead and play it. I’m just sayin’ that you’re not speaking for me when you say that all men love catgirls. I don’t, and I’ve been to my share of Comic-Cons. Have fun, though. ---
