Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If playing like this is periodic and not all the time, it is completely normal kitten behavior. they get excited and pounce and attack imaginary things. If this is happening ALL the time it may be abnormal and I would recommend having them examined by your Vet. I hope this helps and have a great day!
