depends on social factors

if mental faculties were on-par with baseline humans, i'd say to give them full rights

What would you need in order to say you can keep a Catgirl and a breading partner?

I bet they wouldn't be all they're cracked up to be.

again, depends on sapience

Probably like trailer park level crazy. Fickle beasts.

I can't really see a way to justify it in anything resembling a real world.

i can't see domestic ownership being justifiable

What if they were... *nearly* human.

bar legalizing slavery, which it seems like

uhm

*near* human, human-like in appearance, not entirely *there* tho?

i worry some of you have considered fucking a cat

i dont think you realise what catgirls are

tl;dr humans with cat ears and tails

basically

i think you want a pet you can fuck without people getting all moral questiony about it

The closest I can think of is if it is some sort of treatment that the woman has to want to go throw with and have very specialized screening process to make sure both partners are going to be good with it.

Its the cuteness factor, which is probably closer to liking loli than liking furry

if someone had cosmetic surgery to add cat ears on their human head you would be repulsed by it

They'd be awkwardly small.

physically removing a cat's ears and putting them on your head sounds retarded and also would be rejected by the body

but fashioning cat ears from your own skin on your head

Call me an edgelord but sometimes I just take a meme and think it through.

*though, and i see no issue with doing that

Well this isn't working out

i do it myself

the meme overthinking, that is

They would have to be genetically engineered. I guess we have to first work out the ticks with cloning and develop a rights doctrine there first.

The other possibility is that this is some sort of alien or previously unknown species... which opens all sorts of problems there too.

i vote alien

Cat girls don’t deserve rights

as i see it, if something is sapient, it deserves rights

Cat girls are property

of elon musk*

of course its proprietary. i'll give him that
