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)
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)
Billhpike and Benjaminikuta - with regard to this reversion here - I see nothing wrong with the suggested change from a generic catgirl to that of Wikipe-tan. The Wikipe-tan image has a couple of advantages over the current image - it's higher resolution, has an article dedicated to the subject, and doesn't have a large blank area at the top, which is purely aesthetic, but still a waste of image space.
What reasons are there to not use the Wikipe-tan image? Chaheel Riens ( talk) 07:20, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
is not an encyclopedia article, but a page in the Wikipedia namespace.. — BillHPike ( talk, contribs) 07:26, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
self-references within Wikipedia articles to the Wikipedia project should be avoided.We have a suitable alternative image, so there is no need to use Wikipe-tan. — BillHPike ( talk, contribs) 09:41, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
It seems that you're the only one who thinks that way. That's not what the edit history indicates [1]. — BillHPike ( talk, contribs) 12:57, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
That's a broken link, but I presume it shows a diff where Wikipe-tan was removed from an unidentified article. I'll modify my statement then - you're in the minority. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 19:10, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
I support the use of the Wikipe-tan image but I agree with @ Billhpike: that we should avoid WP:SELF references. We can use the image without calling attention to the fact it depicts a Moe anthropomorphism of Wikipedia (it is not relevant to the topic at hand, "catgirls"). I add that Moe anthropomorphism article mentions Wikipe-tan because she is relevant to the article's topic but still does not link to WP:TAN in accordance to WP:SELF. _dk ( talk) 17:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

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)
Edit: I added in the history information. Anyone is free to remove it, of course! Kasedori ( talk) 13:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
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)

I've sorted through anime from the 1980 all the way to the 2000 and figured it'd be nice if we got a full list of every catgirl. (Included other things I've found)
1700s - The first known appearance of nekosume in plays
1924 - Suisenzuki no Yokka
1936 - Kamishibai Plays
1940 - Catwoman (First comic catgirl)
1943 - Cheetah
1949 - The King’s Tail
1968 - GeGeGe no Kitaro
1982 - Urusei Yatsura (Episode 43)
1989 - Ranma ½ (Shampoo is introduced in Episode 16 and can turn into a cat)
1990 - Kyatto Ninden Teyandee/Samurai Pizza Cats (Biggest maybe of my life, it’s a humanoid robot with cat features.), Magical Taruruto (Based and designed after a cat)
1995 - Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger
1997 - Cutie Honey Flash (Panther Zora technically has cat ears)
1998 - All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (Do I need to explain this?)
1999 - Di Gi Charat (Magical Catgirls)
1999 - I’m Gonna Be An Angel (Miruru is a catgirl)
2000 - Inuyasha
2002 - Tokyo Mew Mew
If anyone would like to change or add onto this list I think it'd be nice to have this Kat Z Edition ( talk) 23:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
