I did some searching, but I didn't really see anyone who encountered this when their kittens were playing.
Just some quick back ground. I adopted Dakota and Montana back in November from a local shelter, however, I was only able to bring Dakota home then and she was by herself until I brought Montana home at the beginning of the year.
They adjusted to each other quickly. Really only took a couple hours for them to get used to each other. Some intial growling and hissing and that was it.
Now, for the question...
I've noticed when they play, Montana is the instigator. She will go up to Dakota and start licking her head, then start nipping. Then she'll lick, then nip. Once they get into all out wrestle mode, Dakota sometimes will give out that "I'm annoyed" meow, almost a growl.
At this point, is it wise to separate them? In the past, for the most part, I just let it go. It doesn't look like these are all out, "Rumble in the Jungle" type fights. Though sometimes Dakota will go for the eyes with her hind legs. I'm probably over-reacting, but better safe then sorry I always say.
Thanks gang!
