Talk:Catgirl

message: # Information about furry vs nekomimi eg http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:FurryChart.jpg
# Imageboard culture and catgirls.
# Products related to catgirls, images of headbands possible cosplay images.
# A lot more about catgirls and their prevalence in Japanese culture. 
I think the article as it stands misses a lot of interesting information. I believe the primary reason for this is that it is very hard to produce citations for this topic. Any suggestions of sources likely to be citeable would be appreciated. For example http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Cat_girl actually is a far better article then what we have at this point - Bostwickenator (talk) 08:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible new inclusions 

message: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%8C%AB%E8%80%B3 has a better article. Even when I read it through Google translate. Can we get someone who can translate Japanese to help bring it across? Bostwickenator (talk) 10:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello! I'm planning on including more about the history of catgirls, since it seems their origins date back much further than the 1920s. I'll probably have to rewrite a bit of what is currently in the article, but this (link to my sandbox) is what I'm planning on adding.
I'd like to include information about Nekomusume from GeGeGe no Kitaro, as it seems like she was an important precursor to modern catgirls (considering the JP catgirl article makes references to her). However, I'm having some trouble finding English sources. Kasedori (talk) 13:06, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Information About the History of Catgirls 

message: Do we need a new article for catboys or just a new header?. I've noticed that they tend to symbolize very different things, especially in male gay and trans spaces. Can anyone look into this?Lurker no more (talk) 04:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be fine to reframe this article for cat people if there were sources, and then to discuss regional and cultural differences as appropriate. We do not have a category for catboys but we have :Category:Catgirls. I do not know many cat guys, but there is Cat (Red Dwarf) and Adrien Agreste. Do we have other sources?
