So lesbian cat vampires are in fact more traditional than Dracula? Good to know.
Well, not sure about more traditional, but Bram Stoker did borrow stuff from that story when he wrote Dracula.
There's also Japanese folk tales about the shapeshifting bakaneko* drinking blood from or even eating their owners, which this manga could be inspired by. They also drank lamp oil, and could breathe fire in some stories.
*"Changed cat". There was a belief that when a cat grew old enough, usually seven to thirteen years depending on the region, it would become as smart as a human and do all kinds of horrible deeds, from murder and reanimating the dead to dancing around with a towel on its head. Honestly, most Japanese folklore can be summed up as "everything in your house will eventually become sentient and try to kill you. Yes, even your sandals".
Not to be confused with nekomata, the two tailed monster cats. Even if they're honestly kinda the same thing but with a different amount of tails.
