SEPERATION
IF YOU HAVE 2 BROTHERS TOGETHER IF YOU SEPERATE THEM WHEN THEY ARE STILL KITTEN AGE (LIKE 7 MON) WILL THEY BECOME DEPRESSED? i'VE HEARD THEY DO BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD AS LONG AS IT IS STILL THE SAME PEOPLE HAVING THEM BOTH.

They might but the longer you leave them together the more attached they get. I don't know if it's the same with cats but we had 2 dogs together since birth and when one died the other was never quite the same so earlier seperation is better.

Well, a 7-month-old kitten is like a teenager cat. They're about half-grown. Some people I've known who separate cats of that age think they do go through a depression and some don't. It's the temperament of the kitties. But if the same people own them, why are they being separated? Do they fight? Do they spray (urine)?
I had 2 cats raised together from the age of 7 weeks. The male tortured the female and he was very jealous and peed all over my daughter's things (only hers - he was very jealous; he was neutered at 7 weeks old). He started biting us and clawing windows trying to get out. Eventually we gave him away. I think he's happier now and I know for sure that the female we kept is much, much happier. She's thinner because she doesn't gobble up the food. She's more affecionate. She's more social when we have guests. Sometimes it's the right thing to do.
