Vint goes Neko
April 15, 2007 5:10 am
Well, ‘going Neko’ has become trendy and fashionable, but who am I to say I won’t follow fashion? Especially when it seems like that’s the only way the hunt down a cute male Neko-avie. Ow yes, Andro looks cute as neko, but I want someone who can explain to me what all the ‘rowrs’, ‘purrrs’ and ‘yanks’ are about. I do am curious when Wrath is going to trade in his wings for ears and tail! ;)
Ow, and Ava posed a very good question: where actually does the word/idea/… ‘Neko’ originates from?! I figured it would be something like the books ‘Chronicles of Gor’ giving birth to ‘Gorean’. Hmmm. Wrong. Think again. Neko (ねこ) is Japanese for cat. That and Neko is also that awefully cute cat chasing your mouse cursor.
So what does a Neko need (according to Vint)?
- Purrrr-ing animations: check
- Sharp prim nails: check
- Ears: Elven ears. OMG! Must do something about that.
- A Luger gun: Must IM Miss Connolly in-world.
- Tail: Hmmm. Nope. *Puts a freebie penis on and rotates it so it sticks out on the back.* Horrible sight! Better buy me a tail too.
- Fur: The presence of hair on my skin is well… euhm.. rather limited. So I guess I need that too.
- Cute neko male avie on her side.
Ears andTails’s I’ve bought at … . Ow boy, I do have a lousy memory. But if anybody is interested: they are called ‘Anisa’s Neko Ears’ and ‘Anisa’s Neko Tail’ and have cost me about 900L$. (How do you notate Linden Dollars? Is it L$900, l$900, 900l$ or 900L$?) Both are scripted, although I don’t actually understand all the different positions of my ears yet. For instance what does ‘^(x_@)^’ mean and wherein does it differ from ‘^(^_^)^’. I must be sending out heaps of wrong signals with my ears at the moment. Luckily the tail does speak English in stead of Nekonese and I do get what ‘high flick’, ‘low swing’ and ‘eeek!!!’ mean. I guess I was in a Hello-Kitty-mood, as both the ears and the tail are now pink. *grins*
Finding a good skin was more difficult though. All places recommended to me were a bit to laggy and the skins Tiara so kindly send me where just a bit to orange. Poppin Popinjay came to the resque by sending me some demo recolorable neko-skin packages from Hybrid. I’ve chosen ‘**hybric** cc spots white’ as with that skin I can make my black dots all pink. *Rejoices* Didn’t succeed at arriving at Hybrid when it is not laggy, so at the moment I’m still walking around with ‘Demo’ written all over me. :(
As Myg reminded us all of Bandana Day, I dropped by at the hair fair and got myself a cute pink/black chess pattern bandana. Goes nice with the ears, no?
I’ve met some cute (and helpfull) neko males on my quest for ears, tail and skin, but none that would make me purrr. So, all applications are welcome in the comments below. Please do note:
- Tail size.
- Favorite ears position.
- Favorite hunting/playground.
- Snapshot ft. your neko-avie.
- Species/make/brand/breed/whatever. (No Leptailurusses, please!)
- Do you own your own basket?
- Do mention use of drugs like catnip, …
- Full cream, reduced milk or skim milk?
- Are you a night or day animal, and what timezone do you live in?
- Whatever else you think I could find useful knowing.
Checked with the boss and she says I do look cute and can come to work like this (without the ‘demo’ written all over me though). *Purrrs* :d

Vint, you are definitely a Neko. You work when others sleep and you’re now probably taking a nap somewhere in the shadow.
You know what I always wanted to know? When Nekos have sex, do they make those horrible sounds the neighborhood cats make when they’re in heat? God, with SL voice coming I sure hope not!
Anyway, you are an adorable Neko, and I’m sure there are plenty males of many species looking to scritch you behind your ears!
Thumbs up, Vint…..er….paws up!
Can I tickle your tummy ?
*grins* … releases the dogs …
When I read and see this, I have to consider to become a neko male myself. but unfortunate, I did not win any contest…:(
Mew!
Wow, I just cannot believe that the freebie penis in reverse wasn’t realistic enough for ya! ROFL!
Uh, Vint, I think I’m already metrosexual enough without switching to Neko - as long as it took me to find thee perfect set of wings, can you imagine how long it would take me to find a tail, ears, AND skin?? That would make for a year’s worth of repetitive blog posts, I should think. ;-)
I’ll leave the Neko to the sexy people. *g*
By the way, if it takes you being Neko to get you on all fours, then I’m all for it. ;-)
*grins* … releases the dogs … => That’s exactly why I have my prim nails. :d
My own RL male cat prefers catnip too.
He purrs, “Catnip…Shaken, not stirred…”
I saw you part way through your conversion to Neko and it looked sexy to me. I concur on the Anisa’s ears and tails - the best neko accessories I’ve bought and its so much fun to use the enclosed gestures.
Where did you find prim claws? I haven’t looked for those, but I’d certainly like to give them a try.
Ow, no. It’s not prim claws. It’s prim nails from tied a pied. Of course I bought a pink version back then too. ;)
The word ‘Neko’ comes from the Japanese word for cat!!
