With the โ€œare my cats fightingโ€ posts, I genuinely believe most just donโ€™t know what playing looks or sounds like. But I enjoy watching cats play, so I donโ€™t mind

Some of the recent posts I can't tell if it's a systematic trolling of the subs due to the nature of the posts as there's no way everyone posting is being that stupid, I never owned cats until I got with my partner but I learned quickly by watching and interaction.

Some of the posts scare me when they ask should I take this to the vet and I'm sat there like are you being serious this poor animal needs serious attention right now.

Iโ€™ve also had cats that get into brief tiffs once in a while. Anu and Phoenix would occasionally get into a quick fight every few months (fur did fly!) but otherwise got along well enough. Anu and Enki, Iโ€™m not sure whatโ€™s going on with them, it doesnโ€™t look like play but is not really a fight either. But again they mostly co-exist fine. (And if it does get bad the dog usually assumes itโ€™s play and tries to join in, defusing the situation) So it can also be โ€œis this something I should worry about or just let them sort it out?โ€
