Chip and Louie are cross-eyed Tabby cat brothers who share a perfectly normal sibling love-hate relationship. They spend nearly all their time together, but just like human siblings, they definitely know how to get on each other’s nerves, as you’ll see in this video.

Since both boys look so much alike, it’s hard to tell who starts the taunting, but the cat on the receiving end isn’t about to let it slide, and the battle begins!

Chip and Louie’s mom reminds everybody, “It’s all love tho,” and after watching many of their other videos, we totally agree! Commenter @yurianarubanda added, “The fact that they have to clap a few times before they get into it, LOL! It really is a ritual!”

Why Do Bonded Cats Fight?

If you’ve seen any of Chip and Louie’s other videos, you know they do a lot of fighting. But it never looks like actual fighting; it looks like they’re just having fun, playing around like besties do.

FELIWAY explains, “Everyone has their off days, even our furry friends! So, there may come a time when your bonded cats disagree with each other. However, there is a difference between your bonded cats fighting playfully and having conflict.”

They also explain the difference between the two types of fighting. “Play fighting and real fighting can look very similar in cats; however, there are some key differences. When cats are playing, their claws are retracted, and it’s often silent, with them chasing each other and rolling around. Play fighting does have the potential to escalate slightly, but it will return to normal very quickly.”

On the other hand, when cats are actually fighting, “their ears will flatten, and their claws will come out. This is usually accompanied by noises such as hissing or screeching.”

They recommend setting up plenty of safe “zones” around your home so each cat has a place to sleep, eat, and do their daily activities comfortably without being forced to interact with the other kitty. But if they’re anything like human siblings, they’ll probably seek each other out, anyway!
