Persian and Main Coon

Obiwan is a silver Persian male cat who is neutered. Princess Leah

is a silver Main Coon female cat who is a spayed. Both are 7 months

old and purebred.

Two beautiful and highly-desired animals will satisfy someone’s

wish list this holiday season. The right thing to do is to make

Obiwan and Princess Leah available to be adopted together since the

two have grown up with one another. Adopting two animals is great

because people’s work and play schedules sometimes leave many animals

lonely.

New pet parents are often resistant to get two animals, but come

back later wishing they had. The ones that were convinced to get two

are so appreciative and often come by to tell us, or they call saying

they can’t imagine missing the experience of watching them play and

groom each other and getting to see the different personalities of

each. Those that adopt only one animal soon feel guilty coming home

late. Animals do miss the contact and are happiest having some type

of companionship and it makes it easier to keep cats indoors as they

are not as bored and are less likely to try to run outdoors.

Our network members learn from the pet parenting class that those

whom consider the litter box duty or smell to be a problem with two

cats can use a pine or corn-type litter that is available at pet

supply stores. These litters have less odor and allow you to flush

the “duty.” But beware, cats demand changing the brand of litter to

be done gradually. It is a must to read the directions on the bag and

allow the animal to get slowly grown accustom to the change.
