:For BDSM petplay, see human animal roleplay.
A catboy is a male with cat ears, a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body. Catboys are found occasionally in anime and manga either as a form of cosplay or actual body parts, as well as in a few video games. Catboys may wear over-sized mittens and shoes that look like paws.
Eastern catboys are usually depicted as having minimal feline characteristics, such as eyes with vertical pupils, tails, and ears (with different color ear-fur than their hair). Western catboys are more often portrayed as more animal-like in appearance, with full body fur and claws being their most prominent aspects, though not true for all cases.
