Edit human body type definition (in review)
From - A character with a human morphology, especially one which walks plantigrade and lacks animalistic features such as elongated muzzles or tails.
To - A character with an overall humanoid body shape, who walks upright, is bipedal, and typically plantigrade.
Because there are redundant categories currently in kenomomimi and human. Since a "human human" is easily interpreted as a regular human, a "human demihuman" is easily interpreted as a completely human-looking non-human, and a "human cat" is easily interpreted as a nekomimi, combining the two should cause no confusion.

The question is what the body type human shall mean, a humanoid or a human body. A human cat is not easily interpreted as a neko, since either the body type means human, then it is not a Neko, or it means humanoid, then it could be a Neko but also a furry. A furry and a Neko are both humanoid. Problem is, if the the body type means human, there is no body type anymore which Mr. Spock could choose.
It might as well mean humanoid; like we discussed in renaming the body type to humanoid it gets used that way. Other stuff like kemonomimi & anthro also being humanoid body types would be kinda like we have demihuman, but also some species like goblinoid and (very recently requested) elf, which are also demihuman species.
There are more species and body types who include others. We have "rodent" and "rabbit", "Canine" and "hyena", "fish" and "shark". Taur and Naga are anthros. This is unavoidable if it is not reduced to a few general traits which are exclusive.
Okay, a furry is not necessarily humanoid, but it CAN be humanoid. What means that a human(oid) cat can be a furry, so it is not necessarily a Neko.
I think there should be both body-types. "Human" and "humanoid", but if there is only one then it has to be "humanoid" and not "human" since humanoid includes human. It could be an option to move "demihuman" from species to "body type". There is no clear concept yet, how the species/body type combination shall work.
Well the main purpose for traits (I assume) is to be able to search/find profiles which are compatible to my preferences. If I have a kink for Nekos I can search for Kemonomimi+Cat. This is more specific than searching for human(oid)+cat. Which means the traits are not redundant. This was just a general remark, though. :)
Yes. Skin typ flesh is a good indicator for a Kemonomimi.
Got something to say?
