To catgirls/catboys? You'll have to explain that one; I just don't see it.

Yes, I think that Neytiri is the best catgirl ever. I know the Na'vi aren't feline or anything, but dat tail, those eyes and that nose...

I've always been one to like feline features, catgirl or otherwise.

Size, genetics, even fur. Cats also have traits neither have, such as claws.

I wish I could remember where there was a video where JC compared the Na'vi to cats (or that he used them as a reference or something). It might have been in the special features somewhere or maybe on Youtube... don't remember :/

In either case, "catgirl" might be a liiiiiiitle far but if you were to consider her that then, well, of course

Not to get all defensive here but

cats were used for a reference for, well



as well, and I tend not to think of Toothless as a cat-dragon either.

Humans are closer to cats is, I think, what was meant. Na'vi noses are what strike me as most particularly feline.

Which is why I answered with a "wat".


HNM's just afraid of being in any way labeled a furry.

No - I just do not see any purported similarity simply because they are sentient beings with tails.

...and articulated ears and relatively feline facial structure.

We've been through this before. "DO NOT WANT" image macro levels of afraid.

And the teeth/eyes.

Hey folks, the Coccyx bones on a Human are a vestigial tail. Long, long ago, we HAD them, as well as a third eyelid.

Well, yeah, vestigial. You'd have to do some serious genetic fiddling to make it the long, articulate version the Na'vi have.

I really think the nose is the only feature virtually identical to cats, though yes, the best way to describe them by the standards of Earth animals would be a human/cat mix of features.
