No. Cats will often look for other cats that they share living space with, so if siblings have been living in the same house, or have been together since birth, they will often settle down beside each other for warmth. But to a cat there is very little that is special about a sibling; once they have been separated for a while, they are no longer companions but competitors. And unrelated cats that live in the same house are as likely to cuddle up as siblings who live in the same house.
