Thank you! I was JUST wondering this. I ended up getting a kitten back in July and I wondered if she and my senior cat were playing or not. I am SO happy that now I know it's play mixed in with some annoyance. Purr-fect timing of this video!
So glad I could help, Icewing!
Thank you for clarifying the signs of a real fight.
Although my male cat is a bully as he usually chases her after.
My much smaller female almost always starts the fight by circling him and jumping on him.
Bad kitties 😮❤😊
Yes, I see it a lot. She's looking for a little excitement at the risk of being pushed around.
Super informative video that didn’t lose my attention. Thanks for this
Just got a kitten, 8 weeks old and my older cat, 7 years old, walked around with a puffed up tail for days. I couldn’t tell if they were fighting or playing and usually they chase each other afterwards, so I wasn’t sure. They are getting along for the most part, but my big guy still hisses at her when she gets too close and he’s trying to sleep. (But will lay down next to her when she’s sleep) Great video!!!
We have 7 cats & want as many as possible to coexist. Back in the day, indoor / outdoor cats adapted well. But mixing all age ferals & tames is beyond my experience.
Knowing when things are too far & how & how to facilitate harmony would be wonderful!
Thanks for the comment, SerenityTrek. I will think about that type of video.
Thanks very much for this info. I will have to slow myself down a bit before I decide one of my kids is being aggressive. It’s easy to tell when the two boys are playing, but it appears to be real when they decide to chase their much smaller sister. They are litter mates who grew up together and they were fine for five years. They are now 7. Looking forward to learning more about bullying. Thank you for another great video!😸
Glad it was useful, Lily! Thanks for the comment!
We have four cats. (All rescues.) One of our cats (the only male and he is neutered) loves to play chase. (He was found in a parking lot when he was four weeks old, so he never learned all of his cat manners before losing his mom.) Two of the other cats will play chase with him. We know it's a game because he will start chasing one, and then she turns it around and chases him, and back and forth they go. One of our cats is part Siamese, which means she's very vocal. She was the runt of the litter, but is the absolute boss of the other cats. When they play chase, it's a game and then it's not. She will hiss at him, and he will back off suddenly and act confused. Like "I thought we were playing and now you're mad? What happened?" There are other times when one cat is bullying another. When that happens, we walk by them and that breaks up the energy and they forget about the bullying. The one cat that doesn't like playing chase with our boy does love to play fight with him though. 🐈🐈⬛
Sounds like a pretty healthy cat family. They all have their quirks and weirdness, just like people. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Really great information. Thanks for taking the time to observe, analyze and comment. Would love hearing more about your introduction to cats and what drives you to make all these videos about our feline friends. Thanks, D
Noted! I will consider it!
Great info. Thank you. I’m relieved to hear you’ll be doing a bullying video soon. We’re seeing some of that now that our rescue kittens have attained full growth. They (brother/sister) sometimes bully our older female rescue kitty who usually runs away and hides under the bed. We’re concerned. I think it’s the younger female trying to take the Alpha role, but it’s only a guess.
Thanks for your comment, Cyn. It is really hard to tell what is happening. Sometimes I wish we all had a cat behaviorist on call to help interpret these problems and suggest solutions.
But it looked like serious boxing of your cats 😂😂
Thank you, I believe everything you tell me. I love your videos 🪻🌷✨🪻🌷✨🪻🌷✨
If you slow it down, it looks more violent than it is. Fortunately, they were just playing around. Thanks for your comment!

Cats can be bullies.
Sure can!
