List of fictional catpeople

The following is a list of fictional catpeople, typically referred to as catgirls or catboys, characters with cat traits, such as cat ears, a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body.
The list excludes humans who dress in cat costumes or otherwise identify as catpeople, anthropomorphic cats, and characters that fully transform between cat and human and not some in-between stage. It may include characters that wear a cat-themed costume, but only if there is strong recognition as a catgirl or catboy by news sources, as with Catwoman. For franchise characters, they are listed by their originating media, with ones in manga and anime listed separately from television and film.
