The difference between cats fighting and playing

Cats won’t fight casually

Cats are so cute, what bad thoughts can they have? It knows that everyone is very physically exhausting and there is a risk of injury, so they will try to avoid unprovoked quarrels between them.

If the cat is in the wild and finds a strange cat, it will pretend not to see it, and then walk away, never eye contact.

But when it comes to estrus, the male cats will fight for mates, but usually the winner can be determined from the physique or the momentum in the direct confrontation.

If the two sides feel equal, they will howl and fight, but as soon as one side admits defeat, the attack will stop.

Chasing each other is just playing

In a closed family environment, cats also need to consume their own Energy, but also practice their ability to capture.

So the cats will chase after each other and fight each other. They will tease each other with their tails, hug and bite, lie down and turn their stomachs for defense, and even gnaw each other and make each other growl.

But that’s okay, it often ends the fight with one cat running away. We can just watch the show.

Disputes escalate

Sometimes, it may not be well received Strength, whining, or slaps, obviously because of a bit of “quarrel”.

But at this moment, we don’t need to intervene yet. It’s like two children fighting, and a bowl of water is uneven at this time.

They are just a small friction, maybe after a while, they will negotiate with each other. We just need to wait and see.

The real fight

As mentioned earlier, when two cats really want to fight, they will first The winner is determined by confrontation, and the shot will be forced.

So confrontational behavior includes the following: ! (warning the other party)

A low whine, or a warning sound of “Ha–“! (Show your fighting power)

The hair on the back is fried, the body is bowed, and the tail is upright! (Showing his huge body)

This is just to scare the opponent.

If the two cats are getting closer and closer to each other, the sound will get louder and louder.

Then you have to be careful, the war is imminent!

If a fight is avoided

But don’t be in a hurry, let alone be self-righteous directly to do it yourself. In this state, he was so angry that even if it was his own mother, he could get it, and he still refused to recognize his six relatives.

Separate the two cats first

You can choose to use cardboard, a blanket, or even a cutting board,

The main thing is to cover the sight of both sides (be gentle, don’t scare the cat, and at the same time do your own protection), especially to block the cat that is in an aggressive state.

In such tense moments, it is best not to make noises, which will make them mistakenly think that the other party has made a move and start the battle in advance.

If the two cats are already fighting

hearing Persuade

First of all, we can consider disassembling them from the hearing,

At this time, we can choose to make a sharp sound, knock pots and pans, or whistle . All in all, try to scare them off first.


Visual Persuasion

Otherwise, you can choose to visually disassemble them , you can use quilts, blankets or something to cover them directly on their heads, they can’t see them, and they run away.


Sensory persuasion

Secondly, physical cooling can be considered, if there is A watering can, or a water gun, is really not enough, just a little bit of water from the faucet to wake them up.


Physical persuasion 

Finally, you can also choose to Simple and violent, just throw a soft pillow

or seat cushion or something,

Throw it next to them, they will scare away, don’t really hit them.


Quarantine in time

When the battle is suspended, it must be in time Keep them two apart to avoid starting a second fight.
