There is a unique dynamic in sibling interactions. How you treat your brother or sister isn’t like how you treat friends. If you did, they probably wouldn’t be your buddy for long.
This competitive dynamic is also a trait found in cats. Watch the wrestling move this cat put on his brother in a video posted on November 1:
@simplylivingwithbri I think its important to note that Thuggie is a TINY cat compared to Minkah…. Little but mighty 😹💪🏼 #tuxedocatsoftiktok #orangecatsoftiktok #tuxedocats #orangecatbehavior #catswrestling #catloversclub #twocatsarebetterthanone #tuxedokitten #orangekitten #funnykittyvideo
These two must always keep their human (@simplylivingwithbri) entertained. She explains the tuxedo cat’s name is Thuggie. She rescued this handsome fellow last year from the streets. However, it’s been hard for him to leave the thug life behind.

She describes that he’s much smaller than his orange cat brother. However, being small doesn’t mean he isn’t mighty. This seems to be the case because he’s put his sibling in quite a headlock. Although, his brother Minkah doesn’t seem to mind.
He’s employing that orange cat energy and just lies there with his brother’s paw around his neck. His expression is just priceless and his eyes seem to inquire, “What’s the problem?” The answer apparently, is nothing at all. They are so funny! These two could be on a cat version of WWE.
The audience found this brotherly energy amusing. Viewer @DonMartier pointed out, “The audacity, ‘you name me Thuggie, then yell at me for thuggin!’ He is so confused right now.” That’s a brilliant point. He may only be trying to live up to his name. Another member confirmed, “It’s always the little ones, lol. My little cat loves to put the biggest ones into a headlock and switch between cleaning and attacking them.” They have things to prove to those bigger cats. Viewer @jae_heaven remarked, “It’s a tuxedo cat vs. orange cat. The tuxedo cat is the right one for this move.” It’s a fun dynamic to see.
Similar to human children, these siblings have a distinct way of interacting. Although we may never understand it, it seems to work just fine for them.
