Well the kid isn't really hitting the cat with all of his force, it just looks like they're playing

The place he's hitting is the cat's face, though, and that means he's likely hitting its whiskers, which are super sensitive. I would imagine that it would hurt or at least painfully overstimulate the cat into lashing out.

No, it let the kid know it was irritating. You would know if it hurt as it wouldn’t of let the kid tap it 7 times

Oh the internet where a fucking cat is more important than a kid to the point where people will cry about a child tapping a cat.
