Quarrelling Cats

Sometimes, male cats are quarrelling. It’s usually about territorial thing. Every quarrelling will involve staring, yowling, and much ritualized posturing.

The attacker will leap forward, trying to bite his opponent’s neck. The opponent will fall to the ground, trying to bite and scratch the attacker’s belly. These cats may roll around, biting and screaming, and then suddenly stop to resume posturing.

I captured these quarrelling moments at our home fence. Fortunately, the physically contact didn’t happen. One cat preferred to leave the arena. I was glad as I didn’t hear their noisy yowling anymore.
