that's what my boys do, usualy. it's no more than batting at each other with paws, petey the 8 lb cat will start cuddling & washing off Scruffy the gentle 20lb cat, wich oddly enough leads to the pawswiping, one minute I'm thinking aww, how cute, look at the little darlings, next they're flying off the bed! Scruffy will attack Petey only in his sleep & run off, wondering why petey bit him 5 minutes later. Nimbrethil, they aren't ripping each others throat out & just like when I posted about whether or not to let an indoor kitty eat inscets & flys they catch, I let them do it cause they probobly do that when we aren't home anyway & it doesn't seem to be hurting either of them, they are both fixed, indoor kitties with plenty of toys, hidey holes, a carpeted scratching post (made from recycled carpet samples & scrap lumber 2 stories, right in front of a sunny window, no long strings with toys hanging unless me or my boyfriend is home to supervise & play I worry kitties at play might not notice if strings loop around them) & we have a carpeted hickoryfarms box that they can curl up in, just big enough for one cat, come to think of it they aren't territoral about the box, the food, or the scratchingpost, most fights break out over the couch or the bed, now I wouldn't think it was funny if one pet felt cowed, or was bullied away from food, but to fight over wide open spaces when they weren't playing to begin with, they just have to have the spot the other was just lying on! I was just wondering if others had different views or their cats fight over silly stuff.
