'Went to adopt a kitten, ended up with two': Person goes to adopt a kitten, but immediately notices her inseparable bond from another, and decides that they cannot bear to take one without the other

Bonded pairs of cats should never be separated.

People who say that cats are solitary creatures who don't feel the need to bond with anyone don't even know how wrong they are. When cats bond with someone, they bond hard. It could be us that they bond with. Cats love their humans in ways that words could never express, but their actions show it. Or it could be cats bonding with other animals, specifically other cats. In fact, such bonds are common enough that the internet has given them a name: bonded pairs.

Bonded pairs of cats are something special. They are connected with one another on levels that we could probably never understand. But we see it - when they are together, they thrive, and when they are not, they are lethargic, sad and irritable. They need each other. And it is our duty to make sure that they stick together. Some shelters even go as far as to reject applications to adopt if the adopter is looking to separate one bonded kitty from another, even if it means that both cats stay in the shelter longer. Because it's better to be in the shelter together than anywhere else apart.

When you look at pairs of cats like these, you can so easily understand why shelters do everything in their power to make sure that they do not get separated from one another. Just look at them. One glance, and you can see how strong their bond is. Breaking them up is something unimaginable, and we are so, so glad that this did not happen. You did the right thing taking them together. Now, they will have a proper, purrfect forever home to enjoy the rest of their lives in, and most importantly, they will get to enjoy it together.

This has to be one of our favorite things on the internet - the way that people share their versions of stories that go viral. You came for one story that made you smile, you scrolled down to the comments, and you found yourself met with another 10 or 100 similar stories at least. You could just sit here all day and read these stories, and honestly, at least for us, we never get sick of it. Whenever we need a little bit of wholesomeness in our lives, these are the kinds of places we go - where pure stories like this are a'plenty.
