I just wanted to ask a quick question my 1 year old cat and 10 week old kitten seem to be getting on now no hissing or growling but whenever they are out together (the kitten still has his own room for the minute) they seem to be fighting all the time, I was worried at first until I researched that what they seem to be doing is play fighting.
There are the occasional times when they will just sniff each other and then sit down, but they mostly chase each other and nibble at each other this goes on until they get worn out, then rest and then continue again. This can carry on from like 30 mins to an hour (or at least it seems like its that long) and then they just lay around near each other and occasionally tap each other on the foot. EDIT: They also like to tap and put their heads near each others butts, they will chase each other round reaching for each others butts.
Basically I'm just wondering if I should be worried whether it means they don't really like each other, or that they are just excited to have a play mate. Both are males, older cat has been "fixed" and we're just waiting til the kitten is old enough.
Also will they just stop play fighting as much once they are around each other more, I'm currently just a little nervous about how they act to allow them more than 3 hours together, and definitely no time unsupervised. Help please!
