---OldManVF:The fandoms that didn't inspire Capital-F-"Fen" are a scary place. Though Linda tells me a lot of Senshi have the same problem at earth-side Cons. I shudder to think of the crap involuntary catgirls have to go through.---
I'm so very glad I can say I've only had a few bad can experiences, but good lord how I've wanted to grab the brain bleach. Keep in mind I carry at all times state issued ID not just to confirm who I am but also how old I am. If you've seen any of my pictures you'll understand. The wave took inspiration from some kids shows and doesn't seem to think I should age. Being one of the rare catboys on or off Earth opens up some modeling opportunities, but I'm still surprised I've actually been asked if I'd be willing to do some jobs that would require Title 18 paperwork here in the US. No. Not just no, hell no. And the guy who didn't even realize you had to keep paperwork for those kinds of jobs? Never seen anyone get pale so quick when I let slip that I know a few detectives with the local sheriff's office who might want to have a talk. I'm sure the girls get it worse.
I'm not really interested in doing modeling full time anyway. It's a nice hobby and brings in some cash to keep the parts bins in my workshop full. After all, retro processors like 6502s don't grow on trees. Not for lack of trying either! But I'm content to stick with with the local art classes (they pay more for unique models and they're more interested in honing their skills than goofing off, usually) and the local amateurs and semi-pros Darcey vets for me.
---Posted by: Cathy@JengaI think the only times I clawed at someone was when someone pulled my tail just for fun... that hurt as hell!---It's the rare person without a tail who seems to understand. Those first few months I started wondering whether every door in town was possessed by tail hating demons. Most of my tail pullers have been kids, whoever said you can't get mad at kids was delusional, which sucks when you've had a rough day and you whip around ready to threaten to tear someone new orifices and its just some munchkin who isn't old enough to know better. When it happens I tell myself at least it's me and not some wild animal they did it to.
It's the ears everyone seems to want to touch. I think the closest I ever came to actually clawing someone was the drunk lady who refused to believe they weren't costume ears and kept trying to figure out how they were staying on. If she hadn't been escorted out of the room I might have had to depend on those detectives liking me.

Will the transhumanist future have catgirls? Does Japan still exist? Well, there is your answer.
