My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chess and Checkers were adopted from my mother's coworker; they're from the same litter and will be turning 2 years old in September. They're both black and white long-haired cats (male & female) and are very friendly and cuddly (they seek out attention a lot), but they have a knack for getting into trouble! They both like feathery and string-like toys (things you can dangle and drag around) and give chase.

Checkers is more social and affectionate than his sister. However, he'll sometimes get defensive over "prey" (e.i. chicken meat, toys) he caught and will growl when anyone, even his sister, tries to take it from him, but he won't lash out.

The two of them are inseparable and I'd prefer for them to be adopted out together as a bonded pair. If you live with other people, everyone has to unanimously agree to the addition of them.

Edit: I've made a mistake when registering their fees; both of them cost $120, so $60 each!!
