How can one make out if the two cats are playing or actually fighting?

f your cat interaction look like a character on the show watching lion or tiger or leopard (and if you've never seen a TV show like that, look at them!). Sometimes the play / fighting in pride among infants can be pretty rough. Now I've never seen an animal parents break a fight and I'm sure some one younger and two injured, so you do not really want to reproduce an animal mother or father, but that background knowledge can help you understand your cat a little more.
The reason baby leopard and lion, etc. games, so roughly one another, because play is to educate them to hunt for food and protect themselves when they are older. The cats in your home may not have to hunt for their food, but this wild instinct is still with them. Cats are very sensitive to social order, so play fighting and allow them to raise and eventually live together peacefully.
When conflict happens too often or too aggressive, your cat may be injured, ill or depressed and they begin to lash out at you, your furniture, or create other bad habits (such as spraying or not using their litter box). This is usually caused by a poor introduction of a new cat or kitten in the territory of an older cat. As you probably know, cats have a personality and some, like some people will never like one, but that does not mean they can not live in peace together in the same house.
So how do you know when you rushed to your cat's meet and greet? When kittens play together, they bite and kick, but they have fun. You can tell because their ears up and alert, their bodies will bounce around and their tail is relaxed. If one of your cats have their ears pressed all the way back to their head or tail is strong or that their hair is tough and stands a little, the cat is having fun. This means that you must separate your cat when you see one of them pose like this? Not necessarily, but it should be a warning to keep an eye on their interview at that time.
What if you hear hissing, meowing and screaming? Well, sounds not necessarily mean that your cats fighting. After all, cats do not use the word, so all they have sound! And while hissing is usually meant as a warning, it happened during the game. For example, a cat may just noise to say that they are not something the other cat does and stop the offending cat like, play continues. I have read other people say that if your cats fight, you know, because it is strong. But I always wondered how you should know how strong is strong? Especially if you do not really want to get it so badly! Well, actually, when you hear your cat is louder than what they were before, beware! Because of the other signs to look for, should be able to put together a good idea if your cats fight or play.
But what if you are unsure about whether your cat is playing or fighting? Maybe it's their first play / control session together. I suggest making a loud noise (clapping ball or a can of coins) or a jet spray of water in them (but do not overdo it), so they separated and then watch their reaction after they stopped. If a cat runs away and hides, it's probably a fight. If they both try to get back together to get your cat will probably play and confused about why you did it to stop (That's part of why I said not overdo it, you definitely do not want your cat to Playing penalties, they will very confused and even afraid of each other and for you)!.
If your cat an occasional fight, make sure the loser is always a safe place to hide or rest it. If one of your cats always looking for potential attack, they start to stress out and the fighting may increase or at least no better. But if your cats fight all the time, pull them back together all over again, a little slower than before. Make sure the treats are more involved this time, so she begins to associate the other cat with good things and end of each demonstration session with a good note. Before long, your cat will be happier and so will you!
