Hello everyone!
I’m sure this is a frequent question, so I apologize in advanced, we’re just first time two-cat owners!
My boyfriend and I have a 1 year old male (Whiskey) and just adopted a 4 month old male (Nox) on Monday. We did the typical “under the door” introduction, but because both of them have been around other cats frequently there was no hissing or growling, just playful paws under the door. When we let them out in the apartment together, they take right to playing (we’re like 95% sure it’s just play fighting)!
Our only concern is that Whiskey is used to playing quite rough (he grew up with a German Shepard), and there’s quite a bit of biting when they wrestle. I typically break them up when one of them meows/cries from a bite.
I have a couple video examples of them playing, and could use some reassurance that they are in fact being playful, and if breaking them up at this point is the right thing to do.
Thank you so much in advanced!
