'Adopting both of them at the same time instead of just one as planned was the best decision we've ever made.'
After spending 27 years as a dog person, I became a cat mom to two kittens literally overnight, and not too shortly after, a crazy cat ladyThe transition was one of the smoothest of my life, and I regret absolutely nothing, despite always assuming I'd only ever end up with a dog or two"when I grew up." In fact, adopting both of my babies at once was the best pet-owner decision I've ever made.
For the next couples weeks, the three little newborns were bottle-fed and slowly became competent kittens in the comfort of our friend's home. Almost immediately, the male cat was claimed by a family member, and it looked like one of the girls was going to stay with our friend's family. When we finally met them all at about 4 weeks old, I fell in love with the striped baby girl who now lives in our home and goes by Grey. That meant all three were accounted for.
Nearly three years later, I can say with certainty that adopting both of them at the same time, instead of just one as planned, is the best decision we've ever made. Plenty of people have more than one pet at once, sure, but many people stagger adoptions so as not to completely overwhelm themselves; but apparently, not us!
Thinking about adopting a pet or two, or just wondering what it's been like being mom to two sweet furry angel assh*les with the same birthday? Keep reading for all the reasons I'm glad that we took the plunge and adopted two cats at the same time.Not only are they sisters, they're best friends. Although our girls love their alone time and have claimed various solo territories around the apartment, they're never above a snuggle sesh or playing with a toy together. Any two cats that live together could end up being this way with each other after a time — especially because, despite popular belief, cats are very social animals — but the fact that they've been together since birth shows and it makes my heart swell.
