'Am I evil for separating my two kittens if they’re such good playmates?': College student adopts a tuxedo foster kitten but struggles with separating him from his bonded tabby brother, leaving her wondering if she should adopt both

This pawrent is facing a classic cat conundrum. The tuxedo boy was quickly claimed as a foster fail (he's just that perfect) while his bobtail tabby bestie is still waiting for a forever home. These two are inseparable: napping, snacking, and play-fighting like tiny furry tag-team champions, often leaving their pawrent both delighted and exhausted.

The dilemma? Moving back to their apartment for college means temporarily bringing both kittens along. Keeping them together seems ideal for comfort and companionship, but the thought of eventually separating them tugs at the pawrent's heartstrings. The tuxedo has already stolen hearts, but the tabby's adorable kneads, tiny grooming sessions, and affectionate purrs make the idea of splitting the brothers feel like a heart-wrenching puzzle.

With love, patience, and plenty of cuddles, this pawrent is finding a way to give each kitten the care and attention they deserve while keeping their bond strong. By providing cozy spaces, interactive play, and reassurance, both kittens can thrive, even if they eventually head to separate forever homes. A little extra love goes a long way.
