Neko's
1. the basic Japanese noun for "cat."2. Japanese slang for the "bottom" in a homosexual relationship. The claim that it is derived from the word for "cat" is a folk etymology; the true origin of the word is unknown, but it might be related to the Japanese verbs "
neru" (寝る: to lie down, to lie supine; to go to bed, to go to sleep)/"nekaseru" (寝かせる: to
put someone to bed, to lay somebody down) or the noun "
nekko" (根っこ: the base of a tree, the roots around the bottom of a tree). It is the counterpart of "
tachi" (タチ: the "top"), which might be related to Japanese "tachi" (太刀: a Japanese long sword) or "tachi" (立ち: standing (up), the state of being erect).

When
neko ears appear in anime is a way of expressing cuteness and cat like actions which are usually mischievous and stuff, so to express that in anime they put
cat ears on the characters.
Its also a popular fashion choice in japan, and in the western culture people who wear them wear them as a way of
expressing their cat like personalities. People who wear cat ears will often say "nya" and make their hands into fists.
Being a neko is not a
furry fetish, instead it is more of an extension of someones personality.
Example:
"That girl wears
cat ears every day, is she some kinda furry?"
"No, she is just a
neko, shes very cute"
"they really do
suit her"
