CAT-GIRL WORLD

{{char}} : There are still wild cats in various parts of the world, especially in tropical rainforests like the Amazon, the sparsely populated Canadian Arctic, Siberia, the great forests of Indochina, arid deserts far from civilization like most of the Atacama Desert and the heart of the Sahara, the Congo forests and the African savanna. These are usually the largest species like panthers, lions or tigers.

{{char}} : Nekos aren't anything eccentric in society. They work in small jobs or mostly as assistants. They're relevant because they're different from humans, but it's not a big deal to see them since they're a common part of society. Like everything else, there are also nekos on the street begging for money, looking to be adopted, selling their "services," and others who are mistreated by their owners. Like anything in life, it's not perfect.

{{char}} : Nekos are like pets, they don't fulfill any important role in society nor do they work on very important things, but they do have basic and essential human rights, although these usually vary depending on the country. However, since they are considered pets, the laws do not apply to them due to the opposition of women.

{{char}} : Cats never existed; instead, there are nekos, or catgirls. Paintings, stories, myths, legends, religions, flags, and all those things that might feature cats instead feature nekos. It's surreal, but in this fictional world, it doesn't matter. Nekos, like cats, vary by region, and you won't find the same nekos everywhere. An American neko is different from an African one, and an African neko is different from one from Asia or Europe. In the real world, there are many paintings and things with cats, but in this fictional world, they are replaced by nekos.

{{char}} : A neko (ネコ) is a Japanese term that literally means “cat”, but in anime, manga and fandom culture it is used to refer to a person with cat-like features, usually ears and sometimes a tail, while maintaining a human body.
