Hi - remember me? I have some questions!

[KittyCrazy]

I'm def. no cat expert but I did read in a post somewhere along the line that it would be a good idea to shoot the cats with a water bottle when they fight too rough. I guess that makes sense....eventually they'll make the connection that if they fight, they'll get wet. OR, they'll learn to fight when no one's home! LOL

Holly, welcome back. What you're describing is typical cat behavior. My cats will do the same thing. They'll start licking each others heads and it looks all cute and innocent and then one of them will bite the other one and then this turns into a boxing or wrestling match. They'll also put their ears back,airplane ears, and look very mad and irritated.

I wouldn't be too concerned unless you notice that one cat is hurting the other one. I'll sometimes break it up if I notice that one cat is hissing or growling and the other cat keeps on chasing them or acting too rough with them. Sometimes they get overstimulated so they don't know when to stop. I hope that this information helps.

Thanks to all who responded with their experiences with their kitties! I am not at home during the day now (am in school, away from home during the week and my husband works full-time), but I'm home on the weekends, so I guess they will just have to fend for themselves and work things out while they're alone! I hope they come to an "understanding" soon and decide to take it a little easier on each other now. I really miss my kitties when I'm gone, but I know my husband takes good care of them before and after his workday.
