I don’t believe this is a genuine prank. I think it was performed by both the boyfriend and girlfriend. In other words they are both acting.
Tell me what you think.
If it is genuine and I don’t believe it is, it is not funny but it sure as hell made some money for them both in advertising revenue.

Because we do truly love cats!
Yes, it all looks staged.
If not, and the girl had been me, the boyfriend would have taken a fall also, cringing and holding his “package”.
They don’t think it is. It is just fun for the makers. We have a different perspective and standards of cat welfare.
It’s disgusting the lengths of depravity that people will go to,to get money!
I’d rather stay poor and struggling any day than film our cats, or any cats at all, being abused to make money out of them.
The sole reason behind making these videos is to make money from advertising which is presented at the beginning of the video or underneath it. That being the motivator you can bet your bottom dollar that ethics take a back seat.
Absolutely disgusting that those idiots made money out of this video, of course it was staged, if she had truly believed it she would have been far more upset than she was! I have wondered how money was made out of ‘funny’ videos and now I know, I’m worried how far people will go to make money out of abusing and exploiting cats.
Those of us who didn’t think the idiot dragging the cat Simon through a public park was funny, have the sense to know that cats are more at risk than ever from ‘copycats’ going to greater lengths to provide laughs for the scum who thrive on seeing cats abused.
SICKENING!!!
