Nekos came to be when civilizations started to domesticate cats. Their living in such harmony eventually caused the cats to evolve into a more humanoid form. Nekos are mostly split into two mindsets: one that they wanna take revenge on society for keeping them as pets, while the other embraces society, being thankful for ultimately helping them evolve and participate in their everyday life.
