Cat's Progress: Evolution of a Second Life Neko

Stacia Villota has an excellent interview with Chibi Chang, born in May 2003, and perhaps "the first Neko in Second Life". (Above left, his avatar from around that period; above right, Chibi in more contemporary times.) Stacia gets Mr. Chang to talk about how his desire to roleplay as a humanoid cat avatar came to be:

“Ever since I was young, I felt I was a bit… cat-like,” Chibi shared with me as we sat cross-legged at a low table inside his airship. “My sleeping behavior, movements, mannerisims, being amused by silly little things, never sure how to communicate my needs… all of the characteristics mirrored the common housecat.”

Much more here. Speaking of avatar types, don't forget to take my survey on the kind your own avatar is closest to. Results published soon!
