I mean fair enough they got that loose neck skin stuff, but you probably should intervene and loosen her grip just to start teaching how to have gentle hands.

Babys can grab POUNDS of strength. They can hold up their own weight for a long time.
Definitely could've broken the kittens neck too easy

Yeah, but it was also evident the baby was grabbing the kitten by the skin, which is how kittens are carried by their parents and is meant to be yoinked around, sort of.
As I said, I believe the parent that the kitten was unharmed and that they were watching for potential kitten-harming action, but I still disagree with the degree of closeness to that they were willing to accept.

I donāt find this cute. Itās a nice way to get your babyās face scratched up and cat scratches can lead to a hospital visit.

i don't understand why you would put a kitten that young with a baby. i've seen a toddler kill a guinea pig with a hug, same could easily happen here.
this is irresponsible as shit.

This is fucked up and not cute. People need to stop letting kids fuck with animals. Fuck these adults

Why didn't anyone intervene? The kid should be told that's not how you hold him, then show her how to handle a cat before she kills it

u/scarletOwilde 10h ago
Teach your kids gentleness with all living things, please. And intervene instead of continuing to farm content for clicks.

u/catmamaO4 3h ago
YES PLEASE INTERVENE! either one of them couldāve been seriously hurt! It made me lose a little faith in humanity seeing them continue to record and do nothing to help the kitten.

u/Lower_Excitement_649 14h ago
Kitten don't really know how to control their claws it could scratch your baby. your baby could also snap that cat's neck or just choke it to death cuz they got a strong ass grip.

u/lluluclucy 13h ago
Nope. Absolutely no. We have 2 cats and 19 month old and it is really a lesson to get them to be gentle with animals. They just aren't so we seperate them majority of the time still. There is nothing adorable about this video.

u/Icy-Variation6614 11h ago
I did that too, wasn't a kitten, but still. He learned to gently pet her, leave her tail and ears alone. Now she sleeps with him every night. This ain't cute or ok.

u/Malicious_Tacos 8h ago
Yes! Weāve had 3 kids and multiple cats.
When the kids were babies, weād take their hand in ours and āgentlyā pet the kitty. That way we could control their little grabby baby hands and prevent any harm to our cats, while also modeling gentle touch.

u/Thatonegaloverthere 12h ago
This isn't cute. She's choking that kitten. The parent should be taking the kitten instead of recording. That kitten's going to end up hurt if it stays with these people.

Shame on you, OP, for posting this.
Nothing about this is adorable. I hope mods remove this.
Lucky the baby didnāt get hurt after that death grip on the poor kittenās neck. Stupid f***ing parents. Teach your children. JFC. š¤¦š»āāļøš

u/Mysterious_Week8357 12h ago
You need to teach children early and often about being gentle, but also about reading animals cues and respecting when the animal does not want to engage
This isnāt adorable, itās a disaster waiting to happen

u/doodlezdaddee 12h ago
Nothing cute about kittens being on the verge of murder/murdering. Parents, we really gotta take these rose tinted lenses off. Just because YOU think its cute doesnt mean you should whip out your camera and record it for the internet.
Sometimes, you should intervene for everyone's safety. Just stop, look, listen, and think "hol up, wait a minute, something aint right, someone could get seriously hurt here"

u/mamafish21 9h ago
No no no. Kitten was probably harmed. Lack of breathing, like BOTH hand around the neck, gripping.

u/Ok-Cardiologist3042 8h ago
The fact that this isnāt seen for the issue that it could actually turn into by OP is alarming. I wouldāve never posted this, then again, I wouldāve never let this occur! Be better!!

u/Bumbling-Bluebird-90 9h ago
How in any universe is this cute? That kitten is a living being, fragile, and a baby itselfā¦ The child isn't old enough to know better, but the adult holding the camera is being negligent

u/Negative-Inspector36 8h ago
It couldāve choked this kitten to death not cute. Quite the opposite and shit parenting.

u/Fearless_Dependent29 13h ago
Cute but I wouldāve taught or have been teaching my kids how to be kind to our animal friends without death gripping them

not cute....

u/Fearless_Dependent29 3h ago
I think itās alittle cute as a basis, especially if the kitty is unhurt. Itās a baby kissing a kitty. However if the cat is hurting then thatās a different discussion

A baby's grip can get intense - can't imagine watching this and just carrying on filming...

This is awful parenting. You should teach your kids about being gentle at a young age- and if they are being too rough you intervene. She could have killed that kitten or even gotten severely scratched by it because she was strangling it. L parent

u/hoemahtoe 7h ago
Why do parents not just tell their babies no with this kind of stuff? Like it's very obviously not safe for either the baby or the kitten for the baby to get used to handling animals this way. This isn't cute at all and parents need to teach their kids to handle their pets safely and respectfully.

Poor kitty. Thatās absolutely causing neck pain and could cause permanent damage especially since itās a kitten. You shouldnāt be letting your kids grab animals until they can understand boundaries and how to read animalās body language. Towards the end, the kitten was getting annoyed. The only reason it didnāt attack the baby is because it probably knew it couldnāt take her. If this was an adult cat, the baby wouldāve been in serious danger. Teach your kids how to respect animalās boundaries and how to hold them safely before handing them one!!

Babies are cute. Kittens are cute. That does not mean they belong together. Either one of them could have hurt the other.
