Is it okay that my cats fight?
My cats, Christmas and Jelly are 3 years old. They're brothers and they grew up together their whole lives. They get along well- neither one of them is scared of the other. They often cuddle and groom each other. But they also FIGHT! Like roughhouse! Sometimes they're playing, sometimes they seem like they're really ticked off at each other. My question is, do you think it's okay to just let them go? I usually don't break them up because I figured they're partly playing, it's giving them exercise, and it's giving them something to do. Also, they're never hurt after. No blood or anything. No hard feelings... Once they're out of "fight" mode, they've calmed down.
Opinions?

They might be jealous of each other or whatever, be careful of them, they could get really mad at each other and draw blood next time.
Sometimes its okay, if you think they are just playing, but if they keep going don't try to brake them up, you could get hurt, get a spray bottle with water and spray them a couple of times till they stop.
If that doesn't work, stomp your feet loudly, or throw a book on the floor, they will stop fighting and wonder what your doing, or be scared and run under something, then give the treats to calm them down, and all will be good.
Best of luck to you.

Sure. We have a rule in our house concerning fighting. If one dog can kill the other dog within 15 seconds, more power to them. If we see any blood, everything stops.

They are probably just playing rough. I would just let them, especially if their claws are sheathed. If their claws are out, you might want to stop them from hurting each other.
