Because they are territorial and protecting thier real estate.

And sometimes they will do a mock attack (charge and pounce next to it) if they aren't sure of the other cat's identity. If the other cat doesn't belong there it will back away or run. If the other cat does belong there it will stand its ground. They have great eyesight to identify movement, but not to recognize other cats. They can't always be sure of the other cat's identity until they get close enough to smell it. And sometimes they can smell it from further away. But I had one cat that had not been raised with other kittens, so it didn't know how cats played, and considered even playful attacks as real attacks. All kittens learn how to attack (for defense and for hunting), and adult cats can attack when in a playful mood.
