Virtual Neko in Second Life

Neko Boomers / Paws / Neko Paw Boots

Neko Paw Feet (sometimes referred to as “boomers” in Second Life) are worn like shoes or boots, to give your feet a more cat-like appearance. Neko Paw Feet are available three ways: they may come packaged with an outfit; they may come as part of a skin/shape package at Neko skin stores; or they can be purchased separately (like shoes or boots). Some stores also sell paws for your hands.
