Gatos PELEANDO vs. JUGANDO DURO 😻🆚😾| Fíjate en 3 cosas para diferenciarlos

When two cats live together, they play all day long. But what if they fight? Hi, I'm Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Pets and Families Channel. Felipe's when we live with two feline companions who are also our flatmates and play all day long because it's part of their environmental enrichment, they chase each other, jump on top of each other. When one is resting, the other one dances around and gets in the way. But many times at home you have doubts about whether this game is innocent or if it ends up turning into a fight. And you don't know if it's something positive for them or if they're making their life a complete hell. But hey, there's no problem, because that's what I'm here for. And this is how I can explain how you can tell if they're fighting or playing. We're going to look at three things. Mainly, the first of these is how one cat approaches the other cat. The second, what kind of noises do cats make when they're playing or fighting? And the third, the body language they display when they are together. Well, let's see how they approach each other when they are going to play. Cats approach each other in a very delicate way. They don't make very abrupt movements. They. They simply. Well, they can even make playful jumps. And the other cat that sees them, the one that is lying down and resting, may even start to imitate their movements. They do a kind of dance. First one jumps, then the other moves and also jumps. And sometimes one is chasing and the other is the one being chased. And suddenly the tables are turned, first one is touched and then the other is touched. In short, it is something that, as we can see, is almost like a game of ping pong. We never see any real force exerted by one over the other, despite what I'm telling you. It's possible that in the relationship that has been established between them at home, there is a certain position of dominance and that there is one cat that always takes on a slightly dominant attitude. But in any case, you'll see that the other is relaxed and reciprocates in the game. In this case, we see how they are playing on top of a sofa. Suddenly the one that seemed to be more dominant who was on top of the other cat, gets down on the floor. But the cat that was on top, who seemed, or could seem to be a little more oppressed, nevertheless goes to look for it. It claims the game again from the top of the sofa. The one that was below, who did not have the initiative at the beginning, is now taking it. That is clearly a sign of play. However, how are you going to tell when two cats are fighting? In the moments before the fight, there is a moment or time of challenge. The two cats are completely still or with very few movements. They are staring at each other and neither of them dares to move. At that moment, the cat may be very close to the ground, as if it doesn't dare to move because the other is sizing it up. In addition, the distance between them is usually prudent. It's not very great, nor are they face to face, but there is a certain distance between them in case one of them starts to attack. Generally it is the dominant one that approaches and the movements are usually quite fast. At that moment, the dominated cat can do two either confront the one who is attacking it or or escape and go to another part of the house or even climb up high to try to escape the attack that the other cat is making. Okay, now we have the movements clear. But what noises can you expect to hear during the game? Well, generally they will start meowing, more or less high pitched, or it may even be that one of them will start to complain. But that is part of the same rules that cats have with each other. Don't be surprised if when they are playing, especially if they are a bit rough, one of them will complain. It usually doesn't get worse. It's just a one off thing. The other one is already realizing that they're pushing too hard and lets up and that's it. It doesn't go any further. However, when two cats are fighting at that moment, we start to hear very, very deep meows almost grow. And we can also hear some hissing. At that moment, when they are challenging each other, when they are standing still, they will be hissing at each other many times to say, don't go too far, I have you under control. Also, when they are fighting, we will hear screams, very, very high pitched meows, generally longer. And they will not only do it once, but they will be screaming in that way for a long time because it will be the moment when they are attacking each other. But hissing is only a sign that they are fighting. Or sometimes cats also hiss when they are playing, void being in the same area as the other cat because after all it is their enemy and they fear that the fight will break out again and could lead to having to face the other cat. Therefore, it is very difficult for a serious fight to break out. If your two cats usually get along at home, they are usually just games that are a little higher on the intensity scale, but nothing more. But as always in my videos, when faced with a problem, which in this case would be a fight, we have to find a solution, or at least try. How can we separate two cats that are fighting and going at it really hard? At no time should you get in the middle, because these cats are completely out of control and if you put your hands in, they could attack you, scratch you and hurt you a lot. Instead, we have to try to prevent the fight from going any further. And how? Because we have to distract them. We are not going to put Peppa Pig on TV or anything like that, but perhaps what you need to do is make a loud noise in the house, such as throwing a metal tray on the floor or clapping your hands very loudly so that at that moment they are distracted from the fight and then you can separate them. Hey, but. Well, I have to tell you for your peace of mind that usually when a fight is over because you have interrupted them, the one who feels at a disadvantage compared to the other will run away and go to a safe place. And here I know that there are people who are going to crucify me for this comment, but in these cases I am in favor of using a water spray. I know that water spray can also frustrate cats and so on, but there are some cases in which it may be indicated because many people criticize me when I say that I am in favor of water spray, but I am not in favor of using it at any time in a cat's life. Only when, for example, in this case, we are preventing them from suffering physical harm. Unpopular opinion. Although if you also like to get into it and you prefer to get involved, that's your problem. I'm not going to get involved. Oh, there you have it done.

But anyway, what did you think of the video? Do your cats fight or play very often? I hope they play. Although you may have had doubts many times, I hope I've dispelled them with this video. And if they have any type of behavior in the game that catches your attention and that we haven't mentioned in the video, you can leave it below in the comments so that we can all learn. Oh, and one thing. We were here editing the video and I realized that I hadn't thanked you. Thanks to all the friends of the channel who have sent us videos of your cats. You've sent us a lot and well, not all of them have been able to make it in. We know, but we still want to thank you because without you we wouldn't have been able to show what two cats fighting and two cats that are just playing a little rough are like. And that's it for today's video. If you liked it, give it a like and share it with everyone. Remember to subscribe to our channel if you haven't already. Below on the little red button.

It'S not green, it's blue. It's turquoise blue. Haven't you ever seen turquoise in your life? Oh my God. Or maybe they're fighting. It's a blue. A blue like water, but not green. We're going to look at three very, very simple things that happen together. But hey, there are three in reality. But hey, there are three in reality. Come on, Molino. That other one is bottle green. 2576 hands up and only 11 hands down, which is very good. Ah. And now we're going back to the cats fighting, which won't stop if they only happen once. Just once slightly. Just slightly. Right? And with their tails raised to intimidate. Because this isn't okay.

Hello. Goodbye. Hello. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. The thing is that goodbye sounds familiar to me. It comes out really bad. And if you make it more acute with the valley, that's an old school thing. Valley. These are three things that we're going to look at, not separately. That is to say, we're going to look at them together, but hey, to explain them, it's better to approach them differently.
