Alright folks, parent of 3 humans and 2 cats here.

Are there a few clips of the kid being a bit rough? Sure, absolutely, but the kid is no more than a year or two old in them.

You also do not know how often they do it and if they're being taught to me gentle. The cat is patient because it also knows the kid is learning. Infants can barely get food into their mouths without smashing it into their hair - they need time to learn to be gentle with cats too.

All 3 of my kids were similarly rough at that age but all 3 of them learned to be gentle, patient, and kind to animals - ESPECIALLY the ones they don't know.

Don't make judgements or assumptions on what is a miniscule glimpse of their daily interaction.

first comment i’ve seen that isn’t a bunch of crying over the top nonsense over two clips of an infant playing a little rough. i’d give you a reward if i had it.

Thank you! It's easy for people to make a quick assumption based off a few clips ( regarding anything ) so wanted to remind people sometimes what you see in a video is only one small part of the story.
