lol i have a six month old kitten its so funny hes constantly trying to beat up man handle my other cats by wrestling them he trys to pin them down and make them submit but they always throw him off and totally dominate the wrestle match!~ sometimes i feel sorry for him cause no matter how hard he trys he loses every fight! When will he at least start winning some of the werstling matches? hes so clumsy and lanky the other cats just throw him around like a ragdoll lol but he keeps going back for more until the other cat gets very rough and he ends up running off
its so funny but be nice if he could at least hold his own sometime!

If he keeps coming back, he gets what he wants. It's play, and when he gets too rough they run him off. It's a message he can understand.

It's not about winning. It's about fun. He doesn't have the weight or the moves to get the other cats in a position where it looks like he's winning, but he will learn.

Cats who have established an equality will take turns being the "prey." The kitten probably doesn't have that kind of relationship yet; it sounds like the other cats have the typical attitude; that he's a likable numskull.

He will eventually win. He needs to mature & gain muscular strength. You'll soon be wondering where the times gone when he's beating up the older cats. He's a teenager at the moment testing the waters.

If he's big it can take longer for him to mature. The biggest cats genetically, the Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats, can take up to four years to mature.

It's also possible he's just not into "winning."
