Owner Shares Reality of Owning Cats Who 'Can't Be Nice to Each Other'

A viral TikTok video revealing the reality of owning two female cats has highlighted just how chaotic life can be, as they don't always like to see eye to eye.

The hilarious clip was posted by TikToker Hollie-Belle (@holliebellaaxo) showing the two cats laying side by side and happily grooming each other to begin with. However, that tranquility doesn't seem to last too long, because within seconds a fight appears to break out between the sisters who end up wrestling one another.

What started as such a lovely bonding moment managed to turn into an angry fight within seconds, showing just what cat siblings can really be like. Alongside the video, Hollie-Belle joked in the caption that they "can't be nice to each other for longer than a minute," so she isn't always surprised to see them tussling like that.

Since the clip was shared in December, it has already been viewed more than 3.2 million times and gained over 339,900 likes at the time of writing. The sisters may not always get along, but they have certainly amused the internet with their chaotic relationship.

While the sisters' battles may look heated, PetMD reassures owners that sometimes cat fighting may be a sign of play aggression, which is usually well-intended. It's further explained that this may be a result of under-socialization when they were a kitten, or not getting enough playtime and exercise throughout the day.

If that doesn't quite fit the bill, PetMD suggests that other reasons for constant fighting can include fear aggression, territorial aggression, or redirected aggression. In any of these instances, owners will want to prevent this behavior from occurring and break up the tension between their fighting felines.

The best way of ending their heated battle is by redirecting their attention—it could be with a short noise, or bringing out their favorite toys and distracting them with those. Importantly, PetMD says that owners shouldn't use punishment, yell, or loud or sustained noises which can increase their anxiety or fear.

After Hollie-Belle shared the video which highlighted the reality of when "you have girl cats," the two sisters became viral TikTok sensations (but for all the wrong reasons). With more than 2,300 comments, many social media users were quick to respond to the post by noting that their cats are the same and never seem to get along either.

One comment reads: "the slow progression into a fight."

Another TikToker responded: "This is exactly how my girl cats are."

While another person joked: "I wonder what the argument was."
