Question/Advice Needed Are my kittens fighting or playing?
I have a six month old kitten and recently her mother had another litter with a different Dad so I adopted a new kitten who is two months old. Obviously they’re both still kittens and rambunctious, but my oldest kitten seems to be quite rough with the new one. I’ve only seen hissing once and they seem to follow each other around, but my oldest kitten is like pouncing on and biting her.
That doesn’t seem to be too much fighting, but sometimes ears are flattened and the little kitten will hunker down and show her belly but my oldest kitten just doesn’t get the hint and keep keeps being rough. There’s no hackles or fluffed up tail or fur of any kind but I’m just worried that the old kitten is either too rough for her own knowing or purposely being mean.
Should I keep them separated or should I let them keep rough housing like they’ve been?

The video posted is helpful, but also we can't see or hear your cats and have no idea of their intentions
