in my life ive had a gold fish who i didnt really get attached to, some sea monkeys who i loved deeply, then a hamster and a gerbil. they fucking sucked shit.
then i adopted a feral kitty off of the porch of a friend of mine. my roomate adopted her brother soon after. i named mine meow tse tung. she named hers some stupid shit i forget.
the point is, when you get two kitties in a room with another…
THEY BATTLE!!! NON STOP!!! ITS THE MOST FUN I EVER WATCHED!!!
oh my god!!! once they stopped battling, ten minutes later, one of them would be sitting there minding his own business, in the middle of the floor, and id be watching tv and him at the same time. and id see the other one creeping up. literally stalking, down low as if he were hiding behind grass, slowly and silently taking one step after another, right out of the nature tv i watch, as he must have learned from her mother catching mice or something, or maybe even instictually.
totally like a wild cat, creeping up. the other one didnt see her, just licking himself, not paying attention. and the other one would creep up and, once she got close enough, shed sprint really fast right at him and BAM! shed get right there and take a swat at him, but he would already have jumped 6 inches off the ground and flipped around towards her in mid air, and the other one would recoil in surprise and then tackle him in mid air.
and they would claw without scratching and tumble and maybe even meow. for 5 minutes at least. an epic wrestling match without a winner.
honestly, i would feel no guilt if i put these cats to sleep once they stopped fighting as brothers as long as i adopted another two out of their cages and into eachothers arms.
if you think cats are boring, ADOPT TWO KITTENS!!! i mean, i took these cats right off the street and mine had like two bathroom accidents before they discovered the greatness of the kitty litter. they have an instinctual need to sleep on something warm, and if you only have one, its going to be on your face, but if theres two, they are fine sleeping on eachother.
seriously, i havent owned two puppies before, but two cats are the shit. they seriously battle and i love video games. i would put down the video games to watch these cats for hours, for months straight. that was a year ago. i have no pets because my satan spawn roomate is allergic to dander and fun. god damnit i want an animal. adopt two kittens.
