Anthropomorphs...

Zoomorphic Anthropomorphism to be exact.

The question remains:
Why is a human female with animal attributes supposed to be attractive?
and why especially cat ears and bunny ears and not let's say... a giraffe's neck?

Why is anything a fetish? I'm pretty sure I've seen some giraffe anthros before as well.

To find out if it's a fetish at all, we would have to ask people if and what they find sexy/attractive about catgirls/bunnygirls.
I'm not too optimistic to receive serious answers tho.

My point was mostly its a thing and we should probably leave it at that. Some people like it vanilla, some people like whips and leather, some people like cat ears and tails and bunny girls with cute puff balls on their tush.

As far as gaming conventions go, I tend to gravitate towards characters that are dexterous and agile. When I played FFXI went for the race that was supposed to be synonymous with that (Mithra.) When I started FFXIV I remade my character but after getting tired of seeing her deformed (see the butt thread) I fantasia'd to a Lala for the cuteness factor and fierce adorability.

The whole animal girl trope is a take on their personality and physical traits. Those who are independent, athletic, and carefree are akin to a cat. Others who are quiet, leggy, and agile a bunny. There's been just as much trope of canine (fierce, loyal, and a bit dense) people as well.

It probably goes back to some tribal thing from prehistory we don't really remember but its ingrained in our subconscious.
