      that’s actually called littermate syndrome and it’s horrible for your cat, (not trying to insult, i’m a veterinarian) please don’t adopt liter mates it can and usually does, cause them to get severely depressed and unkind to you or your family because they almost “gang up” on you.

      @@kelqz This is just not true. Littermate Syndrome has no scientific basis; there has been no credible scientific studies, at all, that back up this urban legend. It is a popular shorthand, especially among dog behaviouralists, to mean a series of behaviours that arise from not training your dogs properly. Yes it is true that raising two dogs at the same time is extremely challenging, and this leading to its own set of problems is understandable, but it is not because of some “syndrome” that is out of the control of the owner/trainer. Since this is just a name given to a series of behavioural problems that are commonly seen together, that does not mean that these two cats having some separation anxiety automatically means that they have “Littermate Syndrome”. All that this fear-mongering about Littermate Syndrome is doing is preventing more animals from being adopted and creating unnecessary anxiety.

      I was gonna mention this. I know if you get 2 dogs from the same litter and one dies, then the second often follows shortly thereafter because of the separation. If the second lives for very long, they tend to have a drastic change in personality and become very mopey and depressed. I imagine it'd be similar (but not the same) for cats.

They have two sisters who were put up for adoption and have been adopted) and their bind is incredible. We can always count on them to find the other if the other is trapped somewhere, or come to the "rescue " by clawing at the door if we are giving one of them a bath. They really are adorable

    I agree! Siblings are great. We captured and (soso) tamed three siblings (2M, 1F). They quit play fighting after Zym was accepted as alpha by Zephyr. They are 2-1/2yrs old now, about a year ago we added Quinn, a kitten. He challenged Zephyr twice for the beta position…he lost. Now they all get along well.

    I have adopted siblings twice, and the first time they didn’t care. They must not have wanted the brother they got stuck with. The 2nd time has been this close bond, a co-dependent bond. They can’t be separated! The boy has separation anxiety, and the girl mothers him. He can cry from a different part of the house and she does like a “really, I was having a good dream and now I have to leave my warm and cozy human to come find you” She’s like an annoyed mom who just wants to get some sleep. Lol

    Bonds between siblings also happen with different animals.
    After my little niece's guinea pig passed away, she had a desire to take care of a rat. So, my brother and his wife did good research and decided to adopt two male rats from same litter, so they won't be bored. Oh, the photos they send me are amazing! They like to play with each other A LOT, they groom each other and get mad if they're separated. It's sad rats don't live long but they're very majestic animals and smart😊

    I have cats who are almost twins from the same litter. The longest they've ever been apart is 3 days because of an emergency vet visit for one of them. They only ever fight every 6 to 8 months, and it's usually because one of them bites his brother, and then the other one gets annoyed and bites back while they cuddle. They look almost identical but they have very different personalities.

    My mom and baby cat were like this, the mom is gone now, but we used to have to seperate them when the mom was getting too old to fight back. The baby was a fighter, lol.

    We rescued a pregnant black cat which gave us a litter of 4 kittens, 2 of them got adopted but we prefer to not make them see each other again since it makes them sad when they sepparate again!
