I genuinely don't know how to feel about this one..... They basically used botan in their cat play, they both used him to find out stuff about each other, and his father also smokes when he's there. Not the fluffiest of mangas.

Shuuichiro Ohga is a famous song-writer and a father to Botan from a failed marriage. Botan is lonely and asks if he can have a cat. Shuuchiro tells him no, but Botan brings one home anyway... a very human-looking cat who is actually a man who Shuuichiro slept with before named Umekichi! Will Umekichi get to stay? Will Shuuichirofigure out what Umekichi reminds him of his past? And will he sleep with him again even though he's Botan's pet?
I thought the story was cute with the successful single dad and his 5 year old son taking in a new ‘cat’. It was a little odd that the cousin didn’t clearly announce himself, but he was good for the little family, bringing a warmer, more ‘touchy feely’ love to Bochan (not in a pervy way, just things like a warm hug hello).
