Nekomata 猫又
The two-tailed cat, usually distinguished from the bakeneko by its split tail and its greater age and power. Some accounts place it in the mountains as a large predatory beast; others keep it in the house as a bakeneko grown old. The two names are constantly confused, and the old books do not entirely agree either.
