i wasn't there, so I can't call it, but I have personally calmed down young cats who got too out of pocket...depends on what they're doing...throwing food at each other isn't so bad, I guess, unless they're making a terrible mess that someone else will have to clean up. if they're throwing french fries at each other, cool. if they're throwing rotesserie chickens at one another, it's perfectly rational for an adult to step in and tell them to chill out.
