ZERO AND STARS (Featured Felines)

 
Zero and Stars came to Mewtopia in March.  Their owners had fallen on hard times and couldn't afford to keep them any more.  They are approximately two years old, and they are two of the sweetest boys you'll ever meet.  They absolutely adore each other; and if one is lying down, the chances are pretty good that the other one is snuggling close by.  They constantly groom and nuzzle each other, and they would LOVE to go home together.  If you are considering getting a new pet, please consider getting two, these two!  Two cats are always happier than one, and you just can't go wrong with these boys.


 

TWO CATS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
 

By having two or more cats, you are able to enjoy the true social nature of cats and their relationship with each other.

Cats who have a playmate tend to be more socially well-adjusted and avoid behavior problems like shyness, biting, hissing, being frightened and hiding in the company of people they don't know.

Cats need stimulation during the day like humans. Studies have shown that some animals left alone most of the day in the house have brains that weigh up to 25% less than those that live in the street.

In Switzerland, an anti-cruelty law was passed that requires people who are buying/adopting dogs and cats to acquire two instead of one since it is the nature of an animal to have company of his/her own kind.

They are less likely to ruin furniture out of boredom.

If you must work long hours or travel for a couple of days, two or more cats keep each other company and are more tranquil during your absence.

It's more likely that people bring back an adopted cat due to behavior problems when only one has been adopted rather than two.

Your cat will remain more playful and youthful into his/her later years with a companion.

Cats are much less likely to gain weight due to lack of movement, and to suffer related illnesses.

The workload to care for two cats remains relatively the same.

You don't need more space for a second cat!
