So my boys are still separate but having playtime together, but earlier I saw them do something I'm not quite sure about...

First of all Pip was lent on Mr P and had his face in his fur, my first instinct was fur pulling, but just as I went to separate them I saw them swap places and Mr P nuzzle his face into Pips fur...

Was this grooming or fur pulling? There were no aggressive sounds or any sounds at all infact.

Confused!
 
Seems like grooming to me, when my girlies first started grooming each other i thought they were pulling fur and biting. Even now i keep an eye on it just in case :)
 
i would say grooming. they generaly take turns doing it liek that. If they were fighting youd think the one would do something; bark, jump, run ect. But if their clam liek that and taking turns, id say groomin
 
Sounds like grooming to me too. When I first saw my boys grooming each other, Gumby had his nose on Elmo's eye and all over his face, freaked me out, thought he was gonna chew his eye out or something.
