Meet tabby brothers Chip and Louie, best friends who spend all day together, and, like any siblings, some of that time is spent fighting. Their mom shared a TikTok of the boys’ daily ritual: basically, they rage-bait each other, and it’s an absolute hoot to watch!

Make sure your sound is on to hear their mom’s commentary. If there were a slow-motion fighting contest, these two would definitely take home the top prize!

Chip and Louie’s mom pointed out in the video’s caption, “THEY’RE STANDING UP!!!!”, which was one of the funniest parts of the video!

Commenters Can’t Get Enough of the Rage Baiting Cats

Viewers left more than a thousand comments about the brothers’ fight, and some of them cracked us up. @HIMBO wanted to know, “Why are they fighting so lazily LOL?!” @poponme replied, “That’s not playing, look at their ears, they’re generally mad at each other, but they still love each other, so ya know.” Another commenter added, “Yeah, so playing, like you get mad at your bro because he hit too hard lol!”

@Mush made us laugh when they said, “They’re fighting in lower case…”@Figlia laughed, “‘They were in such a flow state’ LOL!” @Phony Stark replied, “Locked in too,” then @saturn pointed out, “The craziest part is that they have free will to walk away from each other….. they CHOOSE to be each other’s problem.” Just like most siblings!

Were these cats fighting or just playing? Wikipedia explains that when cats fight in slow motion, they’re usually playing. During play fighting, they often pause to rest, assess the situation, or take turns “attacking.” It’s all part of the fun. Real aggression, on the other hand, usually starts with a tense standoff, like a dramatic staring contest that determines dominance or signals fear before anything physical happens.

Slow, stiff movements and tight body language usually mean things are serious. But when the motions are loose, bouncy, and exaggerated, it’s a sign the fight is friendly, and everyone is just having a good time.
