And what's with the Miami Vice music?

1. That looks like extreme roughhousing

Observe the twitching bottlebrush tails and the staredowns...I had it on mute, so I can't speak to the soundtrack. When my two biggest cats get into it (they're brothers), it's pretty impressive. 38 pounds of cat thrashing about is, well, not something you'd *want* to see every day, but it has its entertaining moments.

2. Looks like a dominance scuffle

Black and white, the alpha, but brown and white, slightly passive, only puts up with so much. I wouldn't be surprized if they were sibs.

3. Who's the fucktard recording it?

7. That's what I was thinking

He seemed a little too into it. :eyes:

4. That's not a fight

They're not hurting each other.

My 2 cats do that all the time. It usually ends with them grooming each other. ;)

5. Mine do that, too. Here's one way you can tell it's playing, not fighting:

Watch the way each cat will lie with its belly exposed while they "fight." In an actual fight, the cat would absolutely not do that. It's a sign of submission and security.

Mine, too, usually end with a grooming session.

6. My cats are the exact opposite

they start off grooming each other and then end up roughhousing. I break them up though, I just don't like it when they scrap.
