Neko neko - a note about the title

The “neko” (猫) in Neko Files means “cat” in Japanese.
No, I'm not Japanese, but my first experience with trying to help feral and homeless cats was during the two years I lived in Japan. The Neko Files is inspired by the RAPS cats, but in the background there is always the nameless neko that led me to seek them out.
