''The Star of Cottonland'' (綿の国星 -- ''Wata no Kuni Hoshi'') is a 1978 shoujo manga by Yumiko ōshima. It was adapted in 1984 into an anime movie by Shinichi Tsuji.
Chibi-Neko is ''not'' a [[CatGirl human girl with cat ears and a tail]]. She's a normal kitten, but she wants to be human and imagines herself as such. She is never shown as a cat, only as a toddler girl with long beautiful hair and a frilly dress. And cat ears and a tail.
The story is about her [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe adoption into a human family]] and her struggles with her [[ComingOfAgeStory identity as a cat]]. If you don't want anything that deep, it's also a RidiculouslyCuteCritter story. Think of ''Manga/ChisSweetHome'' with a big dollop of surreality.
