Every cat pawrent knows their cat is the most territorial creature in the house. This is why we usually refer to our four-legged fluffy feline friends as the hoMEOWners, or even as the royalty who rule the house kingdom with an iron paw. So we all know how difficult it is to have another cat enter the picture…

This one pawrent-to-be went to the shelter to adopt themselves a cat - already a noble deed. But you know what happens when you go into a shelter - you fall in love with all the cats there. This hearty hooman adopted two siblings, but was told they're not a bonded pair.

But, you know what? Shelters can also be wrong. Are you ready for some clingy, huggable, and downright pawdorable, overly-bonded pairs of cats? This "not a bonded pair" of cat siblings is included. Clutch your heart, it's going to be sweeter than sugar.

    When we went to the shelter to adopt these two, they told us they were siblings but "not a bonded pair." Nine months in, we laugh about this every day because they are virtually inseparable.

  • Seeing these pictures proves all the misconceptions of the shelter wrong. First of all, shelters can be wrong, despite them being amazing institutions of rescue and adoption. Secondly, looking at these sweet cat hugs is absolutely heartwarming - so, in this specific case, we're glad the shelter was wrong. Look at this “not bonded pair” pairing around like they're inseparable.

    . jetecoeur12 20h ago I was just looking at pics of my boys from right after we adopted them sometimes I just look at them and tell them, “be small!!” It doesn't work. Still 14 lbs | think they were about 8 months in this picture □

  • It's kind of amazing to see black cats next to each other, and even hugging - they always look like one, double-headed creature.

    Rayzn1123 OP • 21h ago Pretty quickly we could recognize their distinct personalities and meows, and one is slightly bigger now. Also, one is a boy and one is a girl, so there's always a "backup" way to check 156 Reply 156 -€

    CoppertopTX • 22h ago We had four singleton kittens come through our front door in about a 13 month span. It is my experience that cats will bond with other cats because they're social beings.

    I was told to expect that Skye would not tolerate other cats. Skye is just quite selective about who she chooses to associate with. 47 > Reply -€ ...
