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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

There are now two redundant "in popular culture" sections. The first should be merged to the second.Winged Cat (talk) 23:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's also two articles since somebody felt the need to paste an expanded version below the first, instead of above the frivolous pop culture section where stuff like that belongs. The new version also seems to be a slightly-reworded version of this, which in turn is pretty much a swiped version of my obakemono article with a few things tweaked.

Removal of a so-called popular reference

I'm removing the reference to the Harry Potter series, as Prof. McGonagall was not a cat with the ability to shapeshift into a human, but a woman who had the ability to shapeshift into a cat. Eellee (talk) 07:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
