"I brought this home and now my cat’s fully convinced she gave birth to it... I was planning to rehome her, but my 5-month-old cat has fully adopted her as her baby—guess I’m a parent-in-law now. No way I can separate them now, haha."

Sometimes, your cat adopts more than just you. Sometimes, it adopts your other cat, and then, that's it. You have no choice but to keep them together. They are not asking for permission. That is family, and they will not be separated.

"Accidentally adopting three cats"

via renaissance_grrl
It was no accident, we will tell you that. The cat distribution system has plans for us all, and somewhere in that plan, it was written that you were going to have three cats. So far. They may be more in the future, and you will be happy about those future ones too.
