One of the advantages of a month of one-shots is that it gives me a chance to do some deep diving in my piles of BL books, since most of those are stand-alone volumes.
One of the disadvantages is that means I end up encountering oddities like this.
TOMCATS (Tenshi no Jikan), by Mashiro Minamino. First published in 2005 and first published in North America in 2008.
PLOT:
Mao was just another disaffected young man slaving his days away in a pizza parlor. Then he meets Tora, a strong, silent man who becomes just as fond of Mao as he is of his cats (who just so happen to be little people with cat ears and tails who are capable of speech, understanding, and cooking). Tora's yakuza past eventually catches up to him, forcing Tora to flee with Mao and their cats to the desert. While Mao and Tora adjust to their new life, their pets discover magic birds, never-ending food supplies, and a cat god.
