how many ears do catgirls have. is it 2, with smooth skin where the human ears are? is it 4? are the cat ears cosmetic? are the human ones? if the cat ears are non-cosmetic, how is the inner ear arranged. is it, like, intruding into the brain cavity of the skull?
i can’t find it even though i’m pretty sure it’s on my blog, but there’s one artist who would draw the ears as starting from where human ears would but still sitting on the top of the head, so that there were little tufts of fur covering where human ears would sit in a way that looks natural and not at all awkward
i found it!! originally by fireflufferz
“tufts of fur” was prob not the best way to put it, since that implies it’s more bunched up than it actually is
this soothes my discomfort with the whole concept, although the size of the ears on the third row right make me think of bats. batgirls…
Prompt: the ideological opposite of a catgirl.
so, a catgirl is a human woman who has taken on certain traits of the cat, which is a housepet known for its temperament - it is affectionate when it chooses to be, but it must choose to be. the appeal of the catgirl is the implication that the woman has decided, much like a cat, that the viewer is worthy of affection. thus the ideological opposite would be a feral creature that is known for being tame except for when it is provoked. countless examples of this exist in nature, so to narrow our options we will select one which is generally considered “scary” as a parallel to the “cute” cat, as is also as far away as viable from a cat. as an extremely social invertebrate, compared to the relatively solitary and spined nature of the housecat, i believe the hornet is the perfect choice; despite popular belief hornets are not aggressive unless and until they are given a reason to be.
then there is the fusion of cat and girl. the catgirl takes the “cutest” and most traditional elements of the cat - ears, tail, and whiskers - and assembles them onto the girl. thus, our inverted catgirl ought to take the most disturbing and detestable elements of the human and assemble them onto the hornet. for this exercise i will propose the spine (deformed due to our bipedal nature compared to most creatures), the chin (a structure that no other animal possesses), and the penis (for obvious reasons).
thus, we can safely conclude that the ideological opposite of the catgirl is
Take your prize and get out of my house.

If my activity feed is to be believed, there is a single anatomically disorganised catgirl whose various organs and appendages have signed up for their own individual blogs and started following this one.
That we’re seeing a bunch of folks moving from Twitter to Tumblr at exactly the same time that the established Tumblr community seems to have decided joking about turning people into catgirls is the new socially acceptable way to be horny on main has gotta be giving a lot of those returnees some very particular ideas about how we do things around here.
To make any potential catboys/catgirls/nyanbinaries that may appear in your fantasy thing accurate realistic be sure to have them be able to subdued and placated by headpats.
