* The cast of ''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/Purgatory_Tower/ Purgatory Tower]]'' is entirely made up of (non-cute, non-Anime-style) animal/humanoid hybrids or anthropomorphics (and in one case, a plant/animal/human hybrid), as the world the webcomic plays in is peopled by socalled "marsuls", humanoids fused with animals and displaying animal traits, down to their psyche. Features a cat-woman, a hyena-woman, a squirrel-girl, a racoon-man and others.

* ''TheKAMics'' [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5221124/ demonstrates a meme]]

* S. Andrew Swann's Moreau series (''Forests of the Night'', ''Emperors of the Twilight'', ''Specters of the Dawn'', and ''Fearful Symmetries'') is set in a mid-21st century world where 'Moreaus' are animal-human hybrids created as soldiers via genetic engineering; the main character, Nohar Rajasthan, is the son of first-generation tiger hybrids bred for Indian special forces; there are other species that were engineered for special purposes, such as rats and mongoose.

* The air brakes on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastech_360 Fastech 360]] Shinkansen train earned it the Nekomimi nickname.

* Shanoa from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' can transform into a catgirl with a particular glyph. In addition to giving her a new set of attacks, it also allows her to talk to the various cats that she rescues.

* Seiren aka Ellen Kurokawa aka Cure Beat from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'' is a fairy who looks identical to a black cat, or better, she ''is'' a cat. She had a neckless that allowed her to transform into a human with no physical traits of a cat. After becoming Cure Beat, Seiren is trapped in her human form Ellen because her neckless got broken. In the HalloweenEpisode, she cosplays as a black cat.

* In episode 55 of CardcaptorSakura, Sakura is sucked inside a copy of AliceInWonderland, and Eriol appears as a CatBoy version of the Cheshire Cat

* CordwainerSmith's ''Instrumentality of Mankind'' series has C'mell. She, and any other Underpeople (animals modified into human form and intelligence) with "C" in front of their name, is cat derived. Typical of the trope, C'mell works as a "girlygirl" (sort of a geisha). Not so typical is that C'mell is specifically described as a very beautiful girl with no physical feline features. She is even more notable for being the ''first'' true catgirl (even the term is used to describe her), appearing in 1962.

* While cat ears have yet to manifest, ''[[GunnM Battle Angel Alita]]'''s titular character's new Imaginos 2.0 body (and accompanying outfit) comes with a cat tail...which she then proceeds to [[[=Badass=] knock out three different characters at once with.]]

* Kyouka from ''Anime/KyouranKazokuNikki'', a [[Genki Girl hyperactive]] [[OlderThanTheyLook young-looking]] catgirl who was worshiped as a goddess, and views herself as such. She's the ''mother figure'' in the family.

* ''Anime/NekogamiYaoyorozu'' has Mayu and Sasana, who are cat gods.

** When Rod McBan is disguised as a cat-underperson in ''Norstrilia'' he's described as having long whiskers, so it's quite possible C'mell does too. Smith is deliberately vague as to her exact appearance, apart from her silky red hair, so it's open to interpretation.

** However, the [[http://www.cordwainer-smith.com/images/Mag2a.gif cover illustration]] for the magazine that first had "The Ballad of Lost C'Mell," did portray her with cat ears.

* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire's'' homeroom teacher, Nekonome-sensei is the homeroom teacher of a school filled with monsters, where they learn to disguise themselves and hide their species. She can't hide her cat ears or tail, and professes a love of raw fish. Also fanservice-heavy, but ''everyone'' is Ms Fanservice in that show.

** Haineko, the manifested spirit form of [[Ms Fanservice Rangiku Matsumoto's]] zanpakuto. [[TheTease Flirtatious, mischievous and a bit pervy]], Haineko is basically a hornier Rangiku, and is often portrayed more in the light of a teenager even though she looks in between 21-28.

A catgirls' ears and tail don't have to be that of a housecat. They can be that of any cat species, big or small.
