Slim is (according to the vet) 5-6 yrs. old and has no desire to play rough with Bubbas young ass. Bubba tries to knock him down and hold him down, which of course doesn't fair well with Slim. Slim gets pissed and scratches and bites the hell outta Bubbba, then Bubba gets pissed and the fight is on. Slim does however like to play chase. I'm gonna try my moms idea of a sqirt gun to separate them. Bubba just doesn't realize that Slims size is deceiving, he's been semi wild for who knows how long fighting off cototes and wild kitties for real. i do beleive however that Slim was at one time an indoor cat 'cause he knows (from day one) the sound of canned cat food snap top being popped. he knows also that food comes from the kitchen 'cause every time i go in there he goes nuts meowin' his little ass off.
