Celebrity Catgirl & Kemonomimi Spotlight!
Ne’ellakaliomi 
(the Coral Beauty- tailed mermaid wearing the Mauve-colored jellyfish bells)
Shello minna! In this monthly portion of The Mew, we commemorate famous nekomusume, therianthropes and other kemonomimi of mythologies and popular culture, including anthropomorphic ladies, monster girls and shape –shifters who appear in folklore, movies, TV, novels, comics, games, toys, mewsic, advertising, and so forth!
 
Lina
(the Eastern kingsnake-tailed lamia wearing the strapless translucent Fuchsia-colored jellyfish bells):
Hai hai! They are not just limited to the feline or other mammallians, but include the avian, reptilian, piscine, insect, and many other types! There are those who might not actually have beasty DNA, but do have the spirit, cat-titude or mannerisms of the animal theme, who we will thusly broadly consider to be the “honorary kemonomimi”
Tharesha
(the shark-tailed mermaidwearing the Mint Green – colored jellyfish bells):
Set In the fantasy world occupied by the human, hunters and beastkiun, author Sayaka Mogi’s beautiful, bittersweet Red Hood’s Wolf Apprentice manga pertains to Wu the hunter who reluctantly adopts the hungry lost little orphaned wolf girl Mani and trains her as his apprentice; and in the sequel Final Testament we met the werewolf twins Skoll and Hati!
 
Ne’ellakaliomi:
Satoko Yamano (who is voiced by Chie Nakamura in the original Japanese version and by Stephanir Sheh in the English dub) in the Ah My Goddess anime TV series which  based upon the manga by Kosuke Fujishima! In epurrsode 5 of season 2, Satoko wears the Pink & White cat ears on her date with Otaki to the new amusement park, where she also wears the nekomimi kigurumi onsie for the photo shoot!
 
Lina:
Kanda the pretty red-haired catgirl (voiced by Azumi Waki), Tania the lovely red-haired dragon girl (voiced by Rumi Okubo), and cute widdle Nina the Blonde fox girl (voiced by Marika Kouno) of author Suzu Miyama’s  Beast Tamer novels, manga and anime, in which they are rescued and recruitted by the titular charcter Rein who can communicate with animals and starts the new adventuring party with them after he was kicked out of his prior group!
 
Tharesha:
The Wood Sprite and her sphinx-like sister Death who are voiced by the superb actress Tilda Swinton wonderful 2022 stop motion animated movie Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio! The Wood Sprite who magickally enlivened Pinocchio has the four alluring avianish wings, whilst Death who Pinocchio visited between resurrections has the lovely leonine body with the large bovine horns and avian wings!
 
Ne’ellakaliomi:
In the Tekka Yaguraba’s supernatural comedy manga Sorry for My Familiar, Patty is the impoverished petite devil girl who needs a familiar to serve her, but all she can affored to hire is Norman the older human chap who is researching her devil world! The peppy  fair- skinned devil has the Pink hair and tail, Blue eyes and ram-like ovine horns, so we will consider her as the ramu musume or the hitsujimimi!
Lina:
Tamka the bespectacled Red Fox girl and Jenzi the petite genki Gray Wolf girl are among the delightful kemonomimi of the beautiful sexy romantic web comic Otenba Files by the brilliant UK author / artist May Li Pandabait, who also creates the terrific Shift Persona web comic! However I should mention that  those comics are rated “mature” due to the nudity, language, violence & sexuality, and not for the widdle kitties!
Tharesha:
Mat Sherer’s mature-rated, sexy, slice-of-life kemonomimi web comic Badly Drawn Kitties has undergone numerous reboots since it started 2002 and ended (?) on 2019, but the comics are archived on the site, whilst Mat is busy with new projects such as the podcast! Among the delightful writer Lucy Koneko (cat), body artists Lydia White (cat), and Sally Flick (cat),  mewsicians Arianna Manson (cat), Magic (cat) and Natalie Green (mink); webmeowster Molly Hunter (mouse) banker Rain MacKenzie (squirrel)
Ne’ellakaliomi:
Twyla Boogeyman is the creepy but shy and good-natured 15 year old student at Monster High who can travel through dreams and shadows! She has the purple-blue and gray skin, Purple-streaked Light Teal hair,  and the pet bunny named Dustin! She has existed in all three generations of the Mattels Monster High tales and toys, including the 10.5” Gen 3 Creepover Party doll adorably wearing the Pink bunny-eared cowl!
Lina:
PrettyLitter is an odorless, non-clumping, color-changing, health-monitoring silica gel crystal brand cat litter with the amusing ads on TV and internet, such as the most recent “Cat Goddess” spot which is graced by the lovely spokesperson who claims that she is not a cat lady but a catgirl goddess! We especially like the 2.5 minute version of the spot! The peppy, purrky redhead human in the Pink negligee admits that she is not feline, so she is technically not a literal neko deity such as Bastet, Tefnut or Sekhmet, but given her captivating grace, charm, presence, and compassion for her kitties, we will consider her as the honorary catgirl!
Tharesha:
Journalist Tara Palmeri, is the Senior Political Correspondant for Puck News, whose attire included the lovely Dark Orange and Black tiger stripe blouse when she appurred as one of the panelists in the January 17th, 2022 episode of MSNBC’s TV series The 11th Hour with Stephanie Rhule, So we will consider her as the “honorary catgirl”! That is all for the spotlight portion of the show, and it looks like the ceremony is about to start!

Jany:
She is shimmering champagne – colored off-shoulder bias-cut midi dress with the scoop back, plunging sweetheart neckline & strappy high-heeled sandals! Ogenki, desu-ka?
Molly Purrton:
Hai, ogenki-desu! Gosh y’all, I can’t believe that another ceremony is already over, nya! It seems like only yesterday that we just did last year’s, nya!
Carreratia: 
It has flown by like the hypurr drive nya! That is all for this month’s Mew, but it will return next month with the mewsual reviews and discussions! Be there… aloha!

Say good night, Mike!
Mike:
