So we have to kittens from the same litter, 8.5 weeks old. Male/female.
They're doing well together for the most part, snuggling together and being good friends. But when they play, they play hard, which I know is normal. They usually take turns and are both into it . However, the female is a lot more rough and wild in her play, the male is more gentle. There are times when he keeps growling and howling at her because she's so rough. I think she sometimes digs her claws in too much and it hurts. It is best to leave them alone to learn and to figure things out, or should I remove her when she gets too rough? Sometimes I just put her a few feet away from him which sometimes helps, or I bring out the lazer light. Thoughts?
They are the same size right now but he eats lots more so he will probably get bigger and have an advantage soon.
