They Arrived At The Shelter Fully Expecting To Return Home With Just One Fluffy Feline!

We humans like to have at least some form of human contact with one and other. Cats, on the other hand, don’t seem to have the same need or requirement for as much physical contact, but is that always the case?

Most domestic cats are descended from the African Wildcat, a solitary predator used to being on its own. That being the case, if you’re a cat, it’s pretty hard to shake what’s in your genes, the need and or desire for more alone time.

We humans love to hug our cats, but do our cats always want to be hugged?

If they don’t want to be hugged or cuddled by us all the time, what about each other?

Yes, you can find cats living in the same home, often curled up together sleeping or taking a nap. However, is this a need for inter-feline affection, or is it just for warmth?

For two kittens surrendered to the RSPCA, UK, Marlow, and Mittens, cuddling was primarily for comfort. These two brothers were and still are utterly and completely inseparable.

So when Grace and her partner decided wanted they wanted to adopt a cat they decided to check out the RSPCA website and soon came across Marlow. Standing out from the other cats on the site, they wanted to meed him.

The day they arrived at the shelter they fully expected to be returning with one furry bundle in their arms.
