My two girls are littermates and have always wrestled, sometimes to the point of madness. They take turns trying to see which one can gnaw the others hind leg off first. But never do they ever go for the neck or throat or make each other yelp. They do sound like a hornet's nest when they fight, the way they growl in the back of their throats. It is a deafening buzzing. They tease each other, wrestle, fight over toys and then cuddle together to sleep. I've never seen either hurt or make the other cry out in pain so....so far so good.
When I first brought them home as puppies, my 15lb cat took one of the 14oz puppies flipped her over and went for her throat. I stopped that in a hurry and never let the cat alone or near them again until they got larger than rodents...
Throats and necks are usually considered kill moves in the animal kingdom.
