Neko means "cat" in Japanese... the word is rooted in Japanese history, culture, language, manga and anime: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=kMvGj2R_dQI
Over the past decade, the use of this word has been evolving and adapting to imply a global "catgirl" phenomenon -- namely humans "dressing up cat" in real life. Evidence of this can be found in Japanese cosplay http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/NET067, European catgirl forums such as http://www.catgirls.org.uk/ and virtual online communities as depicted on the blog Virtual Neko in Second Life: http://virtualneko.com
