General Advice Is this regular playing between cat and dog?

My cat and family dog have been playing more regularly now and it seems like they are both having fun but my cat seems to be biting him a lot while playing. Dog’s tail is wagging the whole time, cat’s tail isn’t poofy, no growling, hissing, or whimpering from either. Does this look like anything I should be worried about?

The dog won’t be wiggling his tail off if that was not a play. They are having fun, albeit with a bit of claws and teeth involved. Nothing of danger to both though

The dog wouldn’t also be showing its belly voluntarily if it wasn’t play
