So, I’ve noticed that my older cat holds my younger cat down by the nap of his neck while his leg moves really fast, but there’s no other touching. Anyone else have this kind of behavior with their cats? It’s happening a few times a day here. Should I be worried?
Yeah, my cats do this too! It’s pretty frequent, actually. They’re just establishing dominance, I think. Not sure if it’s something to stress over though.
My older cat used to do this a lot with the younger one too, but they both seem fine. I think they just have their own way of interacting. I wouldn’t stress unless it gets really rough.
I’ve seen this before! It’s kind of like a play/fight thing they do. It might look bad, but they probably aren’t hurting each other. Just let them work it out, IMO.
Does anyone else’s cats do this when there’s a lot of tension in the house? Like when they’re in a new space or something?
I was told by my vet that this is pretty normal for cats. If it’s not constant and they’re not hurt, you can let it go. Maybe try distracting them with toys if it bothers you.
