Deimos - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Candler, North Carolina

Deimos and Phobos are the twin Greek daimones (spirits) and personifications of fear, terror, and battle panic but I can promise you, these kittens ARE NOT representatives of that. We will instead focus on the fact that they are also moons of Mars. The names Phobos and Deimos come from the twin Greek daimones (spirits). If you’re familiar, their parents in greek mythology are Ares (the god of war) and Aphrodite (the goddess of love and beauty). While creating a bond with these two I can fully say they most definitely take after their very swwet “mother” cat! These brothers are the most sweet and gentle beings, full of love and openness that is sure to capture your heart. These guys are ready to love someone and love them big- the best kisses and cozy snuggles to keep you warm! They are independent and are not scared of my jack russell terrier by any means! They quickly came out of their shell and felt comfortable and safe to explore and integrate quite seamlessly. Their bond is super strong and they ike to do most things together - Phobos normally takes the lead and Deimos will surely follow right along. They are great eaters and litter box trained! They also like toys, and likable treats and well as gentle kisses! They do sometimes we like to try and steal food from the humans. They like to hide in the bookshelves and sit in the window and look outside.
