Nyankees, Vol. 1 - Atsushi Okada, Caleb D. Cook

(I'm guessing on the page numbers since there aren't any. I wish more manga publishers included page numbers.)

 

I bought this a while back. The basic premise: stray cats depicted as human tough guys (along with occasional ladies they drool over).

 

There's a pair of cats in my area - not ferals since they're friendly with people, but I don't think either one of them has a permanent home. Anyway, one of them is a black cat that has considered the area around my apartment building to be his territory for a couple years (assuming it's been the same cat - I have a picture of the moment I discovered that the one black cat I thought I'd been feeding was actually two cats). The other is a grey tabby who's been trying to claim this area for his own. He doesn't really fight much, but he can spend as much as an hour inches away from the black cat, screaming in his face. It's super annoying. If they were people, the grey cat would be a skinny wannabe tough guy who shouts and curses more than he fights, while the black cat would be a slightly scarred big guy with a mildly annoyed expression on his face, trying to ignore the young idiot screaming at him.
