It is also used to refer to anime or manga characters with catlike features, including ears, tails, whiskers, and paws.
A number of anime and manga feature catgirl characters. These include Outlaw Star, The Star of Cottonland, Acchi Kocchi, Infinite Stratos, Fairy Tale, and High School DxD.
Even non-anime cartoons, such as Treasure Planet, She-Ra: Princess of Power, Star Trek: The Animated Series, and Thundercats include these characters.

Why? The answer is kawaii, or cuteness. After all, "everything can be improved by drawing cat ears and a tail on it."
