How Can I Tell If My Cats Are Just Playing or Actually Fighting?

i have 3 cats and they play like that all the time . every once in a while they do
get out of hand though. my male siemese is the worst thought his middle name
is trouble.

I have to stop my boys from playing too hard sometimes, especially when their back claws gets too close to their face and/or eyes. Otherwise, I let them play-fight.

YES THAT IS SO VERY TRUE- I HAVE 4 CATS- THE MALE WHO LIKES TO GO OUTSIDE- THAT LEAVES THE GIRLS IN AND THEY PLAY ALL THE TIME- THEIR FAV GAME IS HIDE AND SIKE- AND AFTER A WHILE I HAVE TO LISTEN IF THEY ARE STILL PLAYING OR WHAT- AND MOST TIME THEY ARE-

The white one looks just like Merlin!

I just lost my cat sammy,miss him very much.wish he was still here .He loved too play with the dogs.

does anyone know where i can get 3 white american curel kittens that are not spayed or neutered can u give me a site or e mail thanks

i lost my cat lucky last year she loved to chase her infered beam on the floor or play with her infered ball she had a multi colored bird on a stick she was crazy about a cats personal choice in colors are very important to them

i had a cat that lived to be 25 years old lucky was a great tabie she was a calico relative
and with a few tricks i learned she could of lived to be muck older if she did not tip over
the garbage and die of kidney failure looks exactly like the grey cat in the photo i used to
keep my cat active and i put some minerals that humans take in her food only a cats portion
i gave her colostrum and red rice yeast exstract most cats tend to live to be 12 but ive met
people who knew of cats living to be 36 at the oldest i am not aware of there care for there cat
stress is not good for u nor is it good for ur animal and there r videos that destress them and keep them happy all day when ur away or at home there colorfull with birds etc cats tend to be rsponsive to only certain kinds of music seen calipso they like i know they are responsive to it i think they lke classical music i wonder if they like early bouncie bouncie of brittney spears
and stuff like that cant really say just know what i read

Listening... Sound advice.

Just be sure you have some mashed potatos and gravey too!

I hate cats lol now watch me get like a billion thumbs down

They are just playing. When you see fur flying, you know there is a real cat fight. I can tell the dogs were not impressed.

One of my cats, Stitch, loves to play fight but the other, Callie, has a tendency to take it personally sometimes. When she does take it personally, it always ends with Callie chasing Stitch around the apartment crying at her and Stitch cowering in a clear, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm so sorry, you're right, I'm a jerk, I'm so sorry, you win, pose. Callie's not the brightest bulb. It took Stitch nearly 2 years just to get her to play chase me, chase me without Callie freaking out at her. I figure it'll take Callie a bit longer to figure out that Stitch just wants to play fight, not actually beat her up.

I like how the dogs seem like "hell with that I am not getting involved in their foolishness".

What exactly is a "feline mime" ? Do they wear stage makeup ?

I would have to say playing, The one on the floor with it's back down would never do this if there fighting. My cat plays the same game with me. I just have to be fast to remain teeth free. Cat's and all animals have there way of playing with each other, just as we do, The Kitty Plays Fetch Video. My Cat does the same thing, for past 8 years. She plays catch with me all the time. What the Cat is doing, is bring back a gift to the one that feeds them. My Cat never does this with my wife, just myself. But i'm the one that feeds her. Also you must watch there ear/and tail movements. Ear's down. look out, tail moving side to side, good

how the hell do you keep your cats from pukin after eating?

If you can't tell, ask the dog.

Seriously? Quite possibly the stupidest article i've ever read in my life. 'If they are being quiet they are just playing' NO SHIT?!?!?!

If there's no blood, they're playing. Ours love to stalk each other and pounce. They're great to watch. One of them jumps up on the back of the bathroom stool every morning when we get out of the shower to be toweled off. It saves her the trouble of licking her coat all day. I used to not like cats, but now I'm hooked. Sometimes literally.
