you remember Yamishinobi from gleemax?
Infamous Creator of the Nekogami. i have his permission to adapt and submit a version of his D&D3.5 homebrew race for pathfinder.
the animeish but non furry cat people. intended as a human subrace.
i am going to post my adaptions to his race. i would love it to become official material. (but it must be placed in the free online system reference document) give the credit to my good buddy, "Timothy Young" the original creator.
I am both Tim Young and Yamishinobi. (for the record) the original name Yamishinobi came from a cat i had that died memorial day 2004.
i have no copyright on this race. but i demand that no copyrighted trademark be placed on it, "ever". i present this race as a publicly adaptable player option for pathfinder players everywhere. i declare this as open content.

Nekogami were once the product of a believed to be nonexistent forgotten god of cats from the far eastern lands from which monks arrived. Nekogami have a tradition of Free Lifestyles reminiscent of a Vagabond. If there is anything they wish they could keep. It is most likely the free reign of a cat. A huge portion of the race are adventurers. On the path of a rogue, druid or monk. They are common but unknown amongst the population. As many pretend to be human. They cosmetically look entirely human. But share a cats freedom, as well as it’s creativity. Their naming conventions are the same as those of a human. Varying greatly with little similarity. Out of their 3 favored classes, the most common is obviously the rogue.
Nekogami pantheon.
Nekogami have no real pantheon. They borrow from the surrounding human cultures. If they had a religion of their own. It would probably be one that encourages freedom and creativity
