Similar ideas... Tenchi Shinmei! is so sick though, it's almost like it's got a bit of a touch of horror in it, but they're both still really good (: 

I'm surprised that no one connected these two mangas since their situation is awfully similar. By that, I mean both male characters are reduced to cat form while the heroines have some sort of special spiritual abilities that the male characters want to steal through a kiss. These male leads rescue the heroines when they're caught in a bind. As the story progresses, both males express interest to the heroines, and later reveal a difficult past regarding their younger brothers and parents. In Tenchi Shimei, Rai is a lightning God in a cat's body. He was initially after Shio's spiritual powers because they can revert back to his human/god form through kissing and any form of intimate actions. Shio's role in the story, has a spiritual power where she can see the evil spirits, but after her encounter with Rai, she is able "heart" of the demons or other spiritual creatures. Regarding his younger sibling, his younger brother had destroyed his shrine because of his overwhelming hatred towards Rai. While in in Mugen Spiral, Ura is transformed into a cat by Yayoi's spiritual beads as a source of restriction from harming her. Unlike the heroine in Tenchi Shimei, Yayoi carries herself more independently and inherited spiritual powers just like her mother. On the other hand, Ura is a self-absorbed and tenacious demon with lightning power who wants Yayoi's powers to become the demon king in place of his sick father. Regarding his younger sibling, the brothers fight for the next demon king heir. Both stories make for a good read, however Tenchi Shinmei is unfinished (for translated versions) while Mugen Spiral is complete. Also, in my opinion, I found the latter to be more of a comedy romance. read more 

They have almost similar relationships between the two main characters 

About cats 

The almost exact same idea of some supernatural entity feeding off of a specific girl's energy through kisses in order to destroy evil spirits or monsters, etc. They're both supernatural, romantic shoujos, but have a bit of a horror-ish twist. Both really interesting stories and have realllly cute guys (:
