At the rate reality is going, I would not actually be surprised if it turns out Elon, or some other billionaire or clandestine group, has been secretly funding some genetic horror show experiment to attempt to create literal cat girls.

EDIT: On that note… I actually once met a kind of… inverse, half elf.

Allow me to explain.

So, this woman I met… her ‘antitragus’ on her right ear… basically, she described it to me as having a recurring abnormal, but non cancerous growth of that part of her ear, such that it grew out to a kind of elf like point, aimed basically rearward and upward. About an inch long.

But… a typical fictional elf has an extended, pointy… entire ear, mostly the ‘helix’ is what is most transformed.

She said she’d had it operated on once, a decade ago, but … it just grew back… but also it wasn’t cancerous, that it was either a very odd benign tumor, or a novel/extremely rare genetic anomaly.

Said her doctors assured her it wasn’t dangerous… but also could not really figure out what actually caused it.

???

So uh, yeah: Inverse half elf, I don’t know a better shorthand to describe it.
