Fighting or playing????

[SleighGirl]

We have sibling cats, aged just 2.

boy cat is nearly twice the side of girl cat.

They are generally playful and interactive with us and each other.

However when the chasing starts the boy cat is nearly always the instigator and the girl cat doing lots of growling and screaming and hiding from him.

It's just been particularly bad so threw boy cat in kitchen and shut door to seperate them. Girl cat straight up to door pawing it to get in.

So is just noisy because she likes winning and can't win physically? We often find them snuggled up together etc don't seem to avoid each other?

If they were not resident in the same house I would genuinely think it was a fight and a bucket of water would be chucked over them.

Opinions please........

It probably isn't serious, but... boy cats never seem to lose their desire to play constantly, whilst girl cats do, so she may be getting fed up with him. She will probably put him right in his place if she feels the need to. I think the more you seperate them, the more likely it is to become a problem, as they won't be able to sort it out themselves. As they ave both grown up with another cat (each other) they are likely to know when the other 'means business'.

I will just buy ear plugs then!

Are they neutered?

yes def neutered.

I think she is the brains and him the brawn. Previous owners said she was the boss, first of the litter and he was the runt.

I think perhaps it's all on her terms? If she wants to play then that's fine if she doesn't want to she will make her point very well known perhaps?

Perhaps just the breed? They are quite noisy compared to most?

Thanksfully only ever had one noisy fight during the night so far!
