A '''catfight''' is a physical clash between two ]s. Cats will fight each other over ], mating rights and to defend their ]. Kittens will also frequently playfight with one another as practice for later life. Catfights consist mainly of grappling and powerful slaps with ] out to the opponent's face and body.
