So, I've never had cats that played together before, so I'm not sure if this is play or harrassment.
Puppy will walk up to Bunny while she's napping in the sun, and he attempts to lick her rear end. She looks rather offended and whacks him on the head (claws in). He whacks back. Eventually they both have their teeth showing, Puppy trying to nip at her hind legs, and Bunny snapping at his paws. Every few minutes, he brings both paws up and tries to pin her down. She bites his ears.
Puppy has a healing scab from her the first time he did this, now she keeps her claws in (he's a declaw). Most of the time, he instigates this. Most of the time, she ends up running away and he runs after. Sometimes she cries loudly if he actually bites her, but no blood has ever been drawn. She's also pounced on him on occasion.
So, is this just play? And what's with him and her rear end? He even tried to lick/sniff when she's walking through a room with her tail up, and she DEFINITELY does not like it.
