yep my "companion" cat and my first cat don't figh but they ignore each other to the max. lol Some times they hiss but thats all. They really don't like each other.
Mine are brothers and even then, they always try to groom each other and it immediately and infallibly turns into chasing each other around the house. Otherwise they’re chums, but as soon as the tongue is out it’s rumble time.
I've found that when mine used to do that it was because one decided they were going to clean the shit out of the other, so he'd grab the other with both paws by the head as he licked away, all the while digging his claws into the face. I had to intervene a few times, but it's hard to know when they're doing it because they're so quiet.
Mine will do full on make out sessions grooming each other's faces, and other times one will grab the other in a headlock and start grooming. Other times they will be cuddling, and one starts grooming the other, who is clearly enjoying it. Then she decides she doesn't want it anymore and it turns into a slap fight in the bed before becoming another make out session.
Cats are weird sometimes
