Playtime is essential for cats and is one of the ways that they can develop their natural instincts as predators.Where there are two cats in the household they generally swap positions in their role-play as prey and predator allowing both cats to develop their skills.
Young cats will generally play like this a lot more than older cats as they hone their skills for hunting.
Even though they are playing they are still concentrating on their natural hunting skills but they will very rarely cause injury to another cat in doing so.
They will bite and scratch each another but are generally very carefully not to hurt one another.
One cat will attempt to hunt the other and once caught turn around and escape allowing the captured cat to resume the pursuit.
Where there is only a single cat in the household it will be your position to play with the cat and help it to develop these skills by chasing and running away from it.More on playing with cats
