I have 3 kittens, all about roughly the same each. 3 females...no siblings..We originally went to adopt 1 from the shelter, but my brother and grandmother fell in love with the other 2 kittens there, so we adopted all 3.
Routinely they will chase each other around the house, sniff each other, then tackle each other and look like they are wrestling around, then repeat the process. There is no hissing or sounds involved, but I'm still not sure.

They are playing. Cat fights are REALLY LOUD - lots of screaching and screaming and fur flying and cats running and tumbling. Sounds like your kitties are having loads of fun crash tackling one another - good exercise for them. They will mock stalk and pounce on one another, even bite and paw but no kitten will get hurt. Don't worry - they all have thick fur padding.

If there's no hissing or sounds like one is being hurt, it's fine. They're playfighting and rough housing. They'll settle down when they get older so I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you start noticing scratches or blood on the kittens, let 'em play.

This is normal play. Looks rough I know and it can get rough just like with kids, an actual fight can break out from time to time over a game, but what you describe is just their version of tag, or field hockey. It's good for them. Really. It will be ok.

I have 2 cats from the same litter. They do the very same thing you're describing. No, it's nothing serious. As with any mammals they will play rough, but don't worry, this is how they learn. It teaches them such things as hunting, etc. I hope they turn out to be good mousers!! :)

They are totally playing!!!
Even if they growl while they are wrestling, they are still playing. I have had many cats!

I may be wrong but when they are playing they keep their claws in.
