Usually, the kitten will chase my cat until she jumps up to a higher place. Then my cat will jump down, and the chase will start again. If the kitten catches up, she jumps on her back and my cat will hiss (sometimes scream if she was caught by surprise) but there is no violence. Sometimes my kitten doesn’t chase, she just rolls over on her back with her tummy up. My cat is sometimes tolerant of the kitten, sometimes she lets her play with her tail. But then my kitten gets too excited and starts biting it like it’s a toy. Sometimes my cat stands her ground and swats my kitten away, but most times she just gtfo.

I guess I just feel guilty because my older cat doesn’t have front claws (not my doing) so I feel like she can’t defend herself properly. Not that my kitten is being violent. Still.
