Hey there, feline lovers and cat content enthusiasts! Are you familiar with the term "bonded pair"? Allow us to break it down for you. A bonded pair of cats refers to two cats that have formed a close emotional connection with each other. These bonds often develop between littermates, cats raised together, or those who have spent a significant amount of time in each other's company. In such relationships, the cats rely on one another for comfort, companionship, and social interaction. Because these pairs depend on each other for support, it's crucial to keep them together when they are adopted.

Despite our understanding of the importance of these bonds, some people still insist on breaking up bonded pairs during adoption because they simply prefer the look of one cat over the other. This is the situation in the story we're featuring today. The original poster (OP) of this piece is a dedicated foster cat parent who works tirelessly to ensure their bonded pairs and other fosters are adopted into loving, warm homes. Unfortunately, they've had multiple requests to split up their latest bonded pair, Robot and Wonder Bread, because potential adopters favor the Siamese look over the tabby. We think this is absolutely ridiculous—don't you?

Luckily, OP is sticking their ground and keeping Robot and Wonder Bread together, which is what they deserve. They deserve to go through life with their very best buddy by their side. We have a feeling these two will be adopted soon enough by a loving human who sees the value in keeping them together!

    We've been fostering a sweet pair of shy adult kitties called Robot (gray) and Wonder Bread (Siamese) for a few months now. They're somewhat of an odd pair as they met in foster care and becoming besties has helped them open up and show off their great personalities! They both

    went from cowering in the corner alone to much more confident together (something that they didn't even do meeting my personal cats). They spend all day grooming one another, snoozing together, and wrestling. While they are listed as needing to go with each other to a forever home, we've had multiple folks

    asking to adopt just Wonder Bread because they like the Siamese look. I'm hanging tight and saying no to separating them because I just can't bear to do it and they will have a space in foster care with us as long as they need. Anyway, I guess I'm just lamenting about how sad it is

    they need. Anyway, I guess I'm just lamenting about how sad it is that people will ask you to break up a beautiful kitty friendship because they think one is cute and the other is not. And if they wanted just a single cat, there's hundreds of other cats at our rescue to pick from... So I'm not sure why they even ask!

    mxrw Thank you for holding the line. They are absolutely adorable together and will make a great pair for the right home. Some people just want to treat pet ownership like a disposable accessory they can do whatever they want with,

    and if they can't even be bothered to read and respect a simple description, they really should reconsider being pet owners. 13K ○ Reply

    scgt86 Having a bonded pair after 19 years of a single cat has been one of the best experiences of my life.

    UWT_Dawg • Top 1% Commenter We recently adopted a bonded pair (a brother and sister) from a local shelter. I can't imagine splitting them up given how close they are and how much they play with each other. I think people sometimes picture cats as these anti-social loners, but these relationships are really important to maintain. (cat tax - Luna and Leo)

  • Bonded pairs need to stick together, through thick and thin, simple as that!

    Ok_Airline_9031 This is what I hate most about dealing with potential adopters: when they argue that what they want should be what you're willing to do cuz, I dont know, I havent had these cats in my house for months?

    Recently had these adorable babies, and they sorted themselves quickly into 2 tightly bonded pairs that were ALWAYS together: one siamese in each pairs. Like, the Si-boy and his Tabby bro walk together with tails wrapped loke they've braided them. together, and the Si-girl and her Void literally mold into one cat when playing sleeping and eating.

    But we still have to argue with people that 'you just want a better chance of adopting the non-siamese ones'. No, I just actually care about who they ARE and not what they look like in the window.

    absolute best decision we have ever made. they are inseparable, always playing or sleeping or grooming one another. they do not like to be in different rooms. they eat together. they are wonderful, perfect kitties. they have made our lives hilarious and rich.
