Though ours are much different, the base idea is from the original story.
See, they exist, but only if they can continue to steal items... Do you start missing a pencil or one part of a set of Jewelry? It was probably one of them— they prefer shiny and pretty things, and they can get into any space necessary to acquire them.
These cats become this way by being abused in life by their owner so they are usually attached to the area in which their owner lived. Some go above and beyond this, break the rules, and detach themselves by stealing part of said owner— like how Eyre has his former master's eye in a jar enabling him to go anywhere to steal anything.
Most other Bakeneko are stuck close to the place where they had died and most others will not cause actual harm to a human being, as it is considered taboo, and against the rules. Any Bakeneko that harms a human will be hated by the other Bakeneko.
They do not share their items often, if at all because everything they steal is special.
Most Bakeneko hang out near shrines— since there are things to steal because humans leave "offerings" and it keeps them alive just a little longer, though they don't get much energy from it. It's still a good way to not die again.
Nekomata are pretty much the same. The only difference between the two (besides that Nekomata have two tails) is that instead of how the Bakeneko can conjure imagery and terrify, Nekomata can do things a bit more "physical" with the right amount of energy. They can even possess human beings or other living things, however, this isn't something they actually LIKE to do unless it is absolutely necessary, whereas the Bakeneko like to cause trouble much more often.

While it’s true that Dandelion grows in abundance, it is often heavily sprayed with harmful chemicals, so only use Dandelion purchased from a store or other source you KNOW is clean. Like, absolutely positive.
