[edit] What about the bakeneko of Sagahan?

"the story of the bakeneko of Sagahan is especially famous"; now I'm curious. What did it do? Why is it so famous? I just can't find anything on google. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 17:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

That came over when I translated the article from the Japanese version. I'm rewriting now though, so I don't know if I will re-add it. Kotengu 05:12, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Section below is from the Nekomata Talk Page, prior to being merged here

Archiving it here just to be thorough. Kotengu 06:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

• Oppose. Nekomata and Nekomusume are not the same. If anything, nekomusume and catgirls are the same thing (the latter is the pop culture manifestation of the former). To merge Nekomata and Neomusue together would be a grand mistake.--み使い Mitsukai 18:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose

I agree with the person above! the only thing about these two that are similer in the least is the Japanese word neko(cat)! this is like mergeing dragons and aligators because they have scales! do not merge nekomata and nekomusume! user:Jeshi-kun

• Bakeneko

I suggest a merging with bakeneko

I agree with this; I'm researching the subject right now and there really is no appreciable difference between the two; a nekomata is just what a bakeneko is called when its tail is forked. Kotengu 05:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
