Kimi to Boku.

Both are slice of life, very easygoing and heartwarming stories. I definitely felt that Kimi to Boku reminds me of Natsume Yuujinchou without any supernatural elements. Both also have very soft and sweet ED themes. There are cats in both series that play a definite role. The one major difference is KtB focuses on a group of friends, while Natsume Yuujinchou focuses on just a few characters.

Both are slice-of-life series more concerned with building bonds and interactions between characters (with ocassional endearingly quirky humour) than any kind of overarching plot. Natsume Yuujinchou has the distinction of incorporating strong supernatural themes, but if that was excluded they'd be remarkably similar series! Even with that, they have a lot of thematic and stylistic similarities, generally giving off the same pleasant, heart-warming vibe.

Similar relaxing feeling overall (although KtB is not supernatural). Slow gentle pace in a plot that revolves around friendship and bonds. Its about the daily life and the important things in life, it gives you some good lessons. And both have cats who are usually near the protagonists.
Since there are no youkai (monsters) in Kimi to Boku, both anime still have the similar relaxed and calm vibe. The protagonists are all likable and there is no doubt that either anime is quite well made. Although portrayed differently, and yet comparable, friendship, one of the two will definitely fall in taste if you've already seen either Kimi to Boku or Natsume Yuujinchou.
A strong emphasis on friends and friendship. The pacing of the story is similar, episodic rather than overarching.
I think it's similar because of the relaxing vibe both of the anime's present. Along with character design. Kimi to Boku is practically just the life part of Natsume Yuujinchou, none of the super-natural.
While Natsume Yuujinchou has supernatural elements, both series are slice of life. They both have soft colours, mellow music and give off a very relaxing feel. They are both anime that is more calming than exciting to watch (but still very enjoyable all the same). There are also heartwarming moments and strong friendships between the characters.
Cats are also featured in both.
