An Instagram video from @life.with.pickett is giving cat owners everywhere a good laugh. The hilarious video shows three house cats — Leo, Remi, and River — busy in the middle of a cat fight. Leo, backed up against a door, looks ready to defend himself, while Remi, seemingly the orange troublemaker of the group, appears prepared to launch an attack. And River is just there to enjoy the show.
A funny cat fight is documented in a funny Instagram video
The video’s on‑screen caption teases the cat fight: “Your house must be so calm without kids,” and yet, seconds later, the cats prove that “calm” is the last word anyone would use.
In the video, Leo is pressed against the door in a defensive stance, front paw lifted as the orange cat comes closer. The moment Remi inches forward, Leo starts swinging wildly, eyes full of rage, like many cats have when they try to “throw hands” without looking. Meanwhile, River does not attempt to step in — she just observes.
This is a classic cat showdown. Cats often fight like siblings, using dramatic moves, like quick swats and sideways hops, to settle small disputes. Fights like these can be about territory or even just playful energy that takes a wild turn — nothing cat owners know about.
The comment section loved every second of the cats fighting in the video. One user asked, “Why do they close their eyes and just start swinging,” while another joked, “I just know the orange one started it.” Many viewers agreed that orange cats have a reputation for chaos. Someone joked about the owner’s on-screen text, writing, “Those are your kids bro. They are.”
Others pointed out River’s nonchalant attitude in the back, with a viewer writing, “I love how there’s always a third cat watching the other two fighting.”
The video proves what many pet owners already know: three cat siblings in one house is no less chaotic than human siblings.
