Davis and Parker show how rough normal cat play behavior can be. These cats are NOT fighting. When cats play they are practicing their killing blows on each other. It can look scary, but you must take into account their relationship, body language, and the ability to spar and diffuse without malicious intent.
Behavior & enrichment videos
Shenanigans
This video stars Samson simply being cute and naughty and holds little educational value. A rarity for me but sometimes cute and fun with no real purpose just has to happen! You are welcome! Enjoy.
Facial Scent Marking
The scents that cats deposit when rubbing objects with their muzzle are very important to them. The marking of items in this way denotes ownership and familiarity and the scent left behind is of social significance to your cat.
Valerian Buzz
Cats can respond to a variety of different scents in the same euphoric way they respond to Catnip. Here you see Willow enjoying a toy that has been marinated in dried Valerian. Dried Honeysuckle and Silvervine are two other scent to try!
The Catit Massage Center
This sensory enrichment tool can serve a variety of purposes and meet different needs depending on your cat’s preferences. Great for itchy cats, arthritic seniors and special needs kitties who have an itch they need to scratch!
An example of normal feline play behavior
This video shows an excellent example of normal play behavior between two male cats. Males often engage in rough play well into their teenage years. What you see here is not aggression.
