The entire concept is OlderThanTheyThink, with the first recorded mention of a modern catgirl in Japan (as opposed to the monsterlike BakenekoAndNekomata) dating to a sideshow-like fair where there was a catgirl as one of the crew[[note]]which was almost certainly someone wearing a costume[[/note]] in [[OlderThanSteam 1769]]! In fact, visualization of anthropomorphic cats as mostly-human women is a trope that dates all the way back to Myth/EgyptianMythology (most famously Bast), making this trope OlderThanDirt.
