Knowing When Cats are Playing Too Rough?

I have a 1 year and 4 months old male cat and we just got a 6 month old female kitten. They seem to get along great. They play and run around chasing after each other. But now they kind of latch on and start kicking with back feet. How do I know when they are getting too serious? They don't constantly hiss or growl when they are "playing".

My two 3 year old "kittens" kick and lightly bite each other (and the dog) during play all the time - this is normal rough-housing. Cats usually play silently, but will make yowling and hissing noises when they fight (or, in my cranky older cats case, when the dog so much as looks at him). Cats use rough play for fun, to learn social skills, and to develop their own hierarchy.
