Fighting a common trait
Interestingly, according to a study, cats are territorial and usually enjoy fighting with playmates or when another feline encroaches their area. Such fighting is also common among cats who live together and with the owner when the cats want to play making it look rough and aggressive sometimes. Therefore, several users on TikTok explained this trait about their pet cats by saying, “One of my cats would go crazy with any playful contact and he loves playing rough.” Further, another user wrote, “My cat Bunny likes it when the toy moves really fast, she's really silly. Some cats like to be petted roughly too. (My kitty Lynx does).”
