Are my cats friends? Or are they trying to kill each other?
Hey everyone! Looking for some real advice for our little pet family and a new addition.
We have a five year old big black cat who's generally very sweet and loving and very sensitive. He goes on walks and loves our small chihuahua and never really has any aggression or violent tendencies.
Me and my wife have been traveling more for work and personal reasons and hes developed a bit of a medical issue if hes left alone for too long (we get a cat sitter but it's still not enough)
We recently adopted a new friend for him who's this stocky gray kitten. We had to leave them be for 3 weeks to visit family across the world and had my sister and cat sitter take care of them. We introduced them slowly at first and it seemed to be going well.
Well we got back and I dont know if things are good or if its bad.
These days its almost like wrestling matches every night and morning with these two. I've seen a flying elbow from the kitten and our usually gentle big boy is diving on him.
Is this love between brothers? Our chihuahua sometimes wants to break it up and I dont want anyone to get hurt. Does this look like playing?
thanks for any advice! can post more evidence if this is not solid enough
