Description:
MJ and Dylan are a quirky and unique duo, each of which bringing their own energy and needs to the home. Although these two are not related, their dynamic is very similar to an older sister-younger brother deal -- he idolizes her while she really couldn't care either way. MJ loves to steal Dylan's food, and Dylan loves to annoy her. When they lounge together, it looks like a Renaissance painting. MJ is an older gal who is very low energy and loves to lounge. MJ will take over your desk, your desk chair, your favorite side of the bed, your clean/dirty laundry pile, and your open suitcase if you let her. If you lay down, MJ will come over and sit or snuggle up with a free arm or shoulder. She loves getting up close and personal in your face and ear to let you know she's purring. The only thing that MJ loves more than an arm snuggle is a laser. Dylan is a spunky orange boy who loves to boop you with his head and be cradled like a baby. Dylan is more active and loves playing with catnip toys, feather wands and colorful balls. He loves following you from room to room and running through your legs. Dylan also loves a good snuggle, especially when you are sitting down, and has no problem climbing onto your lap or chest to rub his head all over your face. High stress can affect their relationship, but once both cats feel comfortable and relaxed they will resume their normal sibling behavior. For example, when placed in new environments, MJ will redirect her stress onto Dylan, and that can spill over to the people around them as well. The usual status quo for that situation is to give them time apart and work on reintroducing them once they have had time to adjust to their new surroundings. Because of that we aren't really saying that they are a "bonded" duo, so MJ and Dylan would be able to live a life apart under the right circumstances. Dylan, due to his social nature and love for MJ, would make a great addition to a home with an older, social cat who misses having a friend. MJ would be good as your only cat in a home where people are home often enough to provide her with love and attention (she really doesn't like being alone, which is likely part of why she has always tolerated her brother's affections).
