One of our cats likes to wash the other one, and it usually ends in a fight. It tends to be when Pixel (smaller of the two, though they are both females around 8 months old) is lying down or sleeping. Sparky will come over, and start washing her. At first Pixel seems to like it, and it all appears affectionate, but then she starts to squirm or try to move away, and Sparky pins her down and tries to continue with the washing. It then becomes a tussle, both cats grabbing at each other, tumbling over, biting and growling, until Pixel runs away. Is this "normal"? Should I try to stop it? I feel sorry for Pixel who can often be fast asleep when this begins!
