A few examples of kemonomimi

Kemonomimi (獣耳 or けものみみ, animal ears) is an anime and manga terminology describing humanoid characters (most often girls) that possess animal-like features. Unlike kemono characters who appear primarily animal-like, kemonomimi characters typically appear human except for added animal-like qualities, such as an added tail and ears. Often, these animal-like characteristics are part of the character's attire and can be removed at will.

Kemonomimi characters, predominantly catgirls, frequently appear in anime and manga as mascots for anime-related products. At anime conventions, many cosplayers take up a kemonomimi template.
