Yeah its called a neko jin ^^ part human and part cat.
(Now for useless knowledge about Neko-jins)
Characters in anime and manga may momentarily develop a catlike mouth. This is usually used to emphasize mischievous thoughts or comments by a character. Rebellious boys are more often compared to dogs (InuYasha being a popular example) or wolves. The "lone-wolf" characterization is very common for brooding, aggressive, socially isolated males, while comparisons to dogs usually refer to adorably rebellious but ultimately harmless boys. However, in certain anime and manga series, such as Loveless, a boy may be compared to a cat in a similar way catgirls are. In those occasions, they are sometimes referred to as catboys. Understandably, bishōnen catboys are typically associated with shōjo manga and yaoi.
Neko-jin characters are also found outside of anime, manga, and video games. Often, such Neko-jins are more like humanoid cats than their Japanese counterparts, for example Cheetara from ThunderCats. Fantasy games have Neko-jin characters, such as Magic: The Gathering's Mirri and Purraj and the cat girl monster in the d20 Munckin Monster Manual. Some live-action shows and movies, as well as western comics and animation, have featured various cat-like characters. In addition, Neko-jin make occasional appearances in Western science-fiction, like Cordwainer Smith's cat-derived Underperson C'Mell (who appears in Norstrilia and The Rediscovery of Man). In Drawn Together, Foxxy Love is a foxgirl, a variation of catgirl.

I don't think I will ever understand anime--broadly speaking. I only watched it before most people knew what anime was--or that the shows were Japanese (Star Blazers, Marine Boy, Battle of the Planets, Speed Racer). Although I did find it odd that the writing was sometimes Japanese. I guess I figured it out during Star Blazers when they chose to make a big deal out of the Yamato instead of some USS ship---and also, I remember an episode where Derek Wildstar found his dead brother's gun somewhere (moon?) and the gun had his name on it---written in some other language. Wow...i don't believe I just dredged up a memory that is 28 years old just now.
And I am afraid to revisit Star Blazers for fear that it will sully my glorious memory of that show.
You're the best! Around! Nothings gonna ever keep you down!
Anime owns. I love anything Dragon Ball, Gundam, and I especially love Cowboy Bebop!!! Such a great cast of misfits.
And I thought the avatar was a Vash The Stampede characterzation.
"Beefcake the Mighty, clotted with spew. His sword falls, skulls burst in two. The eyes burst from sockets, he is not through. Thousands of warriors he does this to. Piling the corpses of those that he slew. Untill it was hard to tell if the pile grew!"-GWAR
I am picky when it comes to my Anime, grew up as a Robotech addict, then moved ont o Venus Wars and finally Gundam Wing. I did Dragon Ball in limited doses, it just seems like the plot of every one is the same, just one long escalating fight! Still love Vegeta though, ya gotta love the egotistical badass!
I grew up on the robotech saga, loved akira and warriors of the wind also
Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under "M" for Mankind - in The Twilight Zone.
