Pumbaa and Larry have been indoor cat buddies for almost 8 years now. They've played before and gotten into little skirmishes, but not like the fight I just broke up.
Larry is older than Pumbaa, and about twice his size. He also has his front claws while Pumbaa does not.
When I finally got them broken up, it was Pumbaa who had his jaws around Larry's throat. But I know that Larry instigated this. Maybe just by bothering Pumbaa and trying to get Pumbaa to play when Pumbaa didn't want to play. Pumbaa was behind the recliner in the corner, and Larry was the one who was wandering around and going near Pumbaa. There were a few little skirmishes before the big one.
Anyway, is this normal when one cat is sick and the other isn't? My adrenaline is really pumping right now. I certainly didn't want to reach in and grab one of them and risk getting bitten. I can't afford any more Urgent Care visits for me dealing with cat bites.
