Thread: Does anyone know if litter mates retain a bond for life?

I have two male kittens nearly 6 months old from the same litter.. my question is do cats have an awareness that they are related?lol... i know this might sound a little odd, but i wondered - like twins in humans, since they were all growing inside their mother, do you think thet have a stronger bond than other cats who might share a home?

i don't know about cats, but i've seen 2 dogs who were separated shortly after weaning- when they were reunited it was like they'd never been apart. i've seen this also with a bitch and one of her offspring.

In all my experiences, cats that are from the same litter are usually closer and have a stronger bond than those who are not. I think they do know they're related somehow. I usually try and give my kittens away in pairs because I feel they usually get along better and are closer to their litter mates.

no they don't, my male cat keeps sniffing around his daughter! It's all in the family for cats
