Man Goes To Shelter To Adopt One Cat But Ends Up Adopting Two Because They're ‘Bonded’

A Bonded pair of cats is when two (maybe more) cats develop a close bond prior to being up for adoption and seeking to be adopted together. Even though this can happen with kittens/cats from the same litter, it's not always the case. Cats have a natural instinct to form packs and socialize. But it all comes down to each cat's individual experience and what they've been through before arriving at the shelter. Some may form special bonds as a coping mechanism to all the stress, while others are just social and high energy. It all depends. 

But anyway, as you can probably guess, the topic of today's story is bonded pair cats. Someone took to Reddit to share a photo of two bonded cats that were adopted by the OP's brother-in-law. We scrolled through the comments (so you don't have to) and added some funnies and discussions on the topic of bonded pair cats. We hope you enjoy your read!
