Description
Felid humanoids (colloquially known as nekomimi, or catgirls/catboys) are animal humanoid characters who possess features of species from the cat family, this almost always includes a pair of feline ears and a feline tail. In addition to ears and tails, they may have other feline features, such as whiskers, sharp teeth, fangs, slit pupils, and/or claws. They may also have paw-like hands, patches of fur on their skin, hair patterned after feline fur, they may have markings on their skin (such as stripes or spots), or they may even appear to have a thin layer of fur covering their entire body.
[quote]h5. Tagging Notes
- If a character has full-body markings or appears to be covered in fur, and has an animal-like nose, they should be tagged as anthro, not as animal humanoid
- A character with a snout and/or animal shaped head should always be tagged as anthro, not animal humanoid
- Animal humanoids should never be tagged anthro or human
- If the character appears to be in costume use fake cat ears and/or fake cat tail instead[/quote]
While most commonly these characters have ambiguous feline or domestic cat features, this is an umbrella tag, and includes any animal humanoid that has features of species that fall under Felidae, this includes big cats (Pantherinae) and small cats (Felinae), as well as fictional felid-humanoid species and mythological creatures, see the section below.
