    Does anyone know what my cat is saying by such a behaviour?
    Tabu licks Mitra for a little while and then starts to bite her and attack her.
    I always though licking is okay, that it means one cat accepts the other one, but biting makes me confused.
    I totally don't understand this.

    Is she actually attacking her? Or could it be confused with maybe just getting a little too rough playing? How does the other cat respond?

    I don't know. It sometimes looks like a real attack, Tabu looks pissed... But Mitra doesn't care , she never did, actually.
