>>1298533exactly, I want catgirls to be voluptuous and womanly, not bland and vanilla prepubescents that as individual images hold no uniqueness what-so-ever.
The problem though is 90% of all catgirl art is these little seemingly de-sexualized loli catgirls drawn in seemingly uninspired and generic artistic styles.
To further complicate this matter, catgirls as a whole get so little attention to begin with in all media that there is very rarely ever new material. Despite seeming synonymous with the concepts of anime and japanese culture, catgirls are actually quite under represented.
Even then, most catgirl designs dare not tread further than ears and a tail cosmetically added to an otherwise normal girl, very rarely exploring the wider xenomorphic range of appeal for the fetish as is seen with the beast people of Escaflowne, Zorndyke's Hybrids in Blue Sub No.6, the Ctarl Ctarl of Outlaw Star or the Mithra of FFXI.
One could argue that this ventures into the taboo realm of "Furry", but there is a great deal of gray area to be explored with making catgirls more animal like that still appeal to conventional ideals of attractiveness without going quite as far as to be labeled or reviled as "Furry".
