My cats fight all the time, they're only playing but it gets pretty rough sometimes. I just leave them to it.

Coolbeans.
Another question - if we leave things like knives in the drying rack in our kitchen, will they stab themselves / eachother should we let them have the run of the house at night?

Mine never have, Higgs knocked over plenty of glasses (trying to drink from them) when she was a kitten, but she grew out of that.
You'll know it if the play-fighting escalates to "proper", the expression "the fur was flying" is surprisingly a literal description of cats fighting.

You can get them done from about three months or so, how old were the cats before the cat got killed?

Don't allow them on the kitchen work tops when you are around?

The noise they make is pretty terrifying as well, you'd have no doubts at all that srsbsns is going down.
I've always let my cats have the run of the house whenever they feel like it, they're fine. They spend most of their time sleeping anyway so they'll be doing relatively little fannying about knocking shit over while you're sleeping. It's probably worse to shut them into a room when you're not around because they'll claw everything near the door into shreds trying to get out. Worse still if you shut them in the same room as you as you'll be able to hear them doing it and will go insane.

Yeah we need to give them free roam.
Except the bike cupboard

I have it on good authority that those kittens are excellent tiny little mechanics, and your bikes are almost certainly safe in their careful claws.

Best not to ask.
Thrilling cat update:
Higgs spent last night asleep on the matt in the bathroom - progress as she felt comfortable enough to leave the laundry where she has spent the last few days hiding.
I tried to brush the worst of the knots out of her tail this morning whilst waiting for the kettle to boil at which she ran away and hid in the laundry again. Meh.
James went to sleep on his favourite cushion last night and didn't wake us up demanding to be let out, and is in general much calmer - and is starting to use his old sleeping places.
He still (very much) wanted to go out this morning, but being an Evil Cat Owner I wouldn't open the door for him.
I am hopeful that Thief Of James will realise that he would like a cat, and that in the absence of my cat maybe he should man the fuck up and get one of his own - preferably from a cat rescue place.

He is very fond of eggs.

Even though they are walking about, cheeping? Somebody needs to explain to him when an egg stops being an egg :/

I already explained to him that he wouldn't fit through that tiny doorway, but he didn't listen.

Is she Cytech qualified?
I asked my colleague about this and he said his parents had the same problem, they had a sister and brother (siblings of the two cats he has) and the male would play too rough and freak out the female, to the extent that his dad thought about getting rid of the brother.
Unfortunately the way the issue was resolved was the sister got hit by a car, which is not really how I'd like the problem to go away for our two.
I've also heard once they get fixed, it should calm them down a bit.
