猫系彼女

• 読み: ねこけいかのじょ
• ローマ字: neko kei kanojo
• 漢字の分解: 猫 (cat) + 系 (type/style) + 彼女 (girlfriend) → cat-type girlfriend
• 発音: /ne.ko ke.i ka.no.dʑo/

意味

A cat-like girlfriend — a partner who is independent, aloof, moody, and affectionate only on her own terms.

The feminine counterpart to 犬系彼氏, a 猫系彼女 is someone who values her independence, doesn't always reply quickly, can be unpredictable with affection, and does things at her own pace. Like a cat, she's charming precisely because of her aloofness. Some find this attractive because the rare moments of affection feel special, while others find it frustrating.

例文

1. 猫系彼女って気分屋だけど、甘えてくるときが可愛すぎる。
2. うちの彼女完全に猫系で、構いすぎると嫌がる。
3. 猫系彼女に振り回されるのも楽しいって思っちゃう。
