Sophia never plays with my hubby's cat "Ivan"... She will just bark at him if she sees him jumping on tables where food is...or if she hears us getting after him. She thinks she is the boss...but only vocally, she never challenges him physically.
As for Peyton...he LOVES Ivan. Peyton plays and plays and plays with him. Ivan hisses and bats at him and they chase and wrestle each other. Very cute! When Ivan has had enough, he lets Peyton know...or jumps somewhere Peyton can't reach.
