Why do cats play patty cake? Is it agression or just play?

Question

I have two cats who play patty cake - basically they paw at each other's paw - first one paw, and then the other. It is very funny to watch but I was wondering if it is a sign of agression or is it just play. One cat is 2 years old the other is 1 year old - both are males. They are best buds although they have wrestling matches once in awhile.

Usually it is just playing. Although, they sometimes do it to see who has to scoop the litter box lol. No really, they will do it sometimes to show that one is stronger. At least they are doing this, instead of hurting each other.

Never ever heard of a cat doing that... I would like to see that.. My two cats don't do that. They do play a lot though. That does sound normal though becuase they like to play a ton. My cats like to play at night and rest during the day its kind of weird... Don't worry they want hert each other if they have been together a long time. They might fight if there new to each other thats how my cats were. Just check on them once and a while. !!!!!!!!!!!! X10 ON WHAT BONNIE SAID!!Your friend,Andrew

It's just playing.If it was fighting they would be making weird noises that sound like muffled meows.
