is my cat a secret ninja or just a drama queen? how to spot the difference between play and real cat fights
Ever watched your cats go full WWE and wondered if you should call for backup? Same. Cat play can look wild, but there are clues to tell if it’s all in good fun or if you’ve got a furry feud on your hands.
If their bodies are loose and floppy, tails are up, and they take turns being the chaser, it’s just playtime. But if you see puffed-up fur, flat ears, or hear hissing and growling, it’s probably a real fight. Biting that makes one yelp? Not cool. Claws out and tails low? Time to break it up—just don’t use your hands!
Afterward, if they’re snuggling, you’re golden. If they’re avoiding each other, keep them apart for a bit. Cat drama: solved!
