Tell me. Is this video cute or a bit strange?
It is a very cute video and we should enjoy cute cat videos. They amuse us and improve our lives. This cat such a darling. I am touched by his behaviour. I am not, therefore, being critical.
However, I can’t help asking myself if this is humanising one’s cat too much. I feel I have to ask if the lady has gone too far in relating to her cat as a human baby instead of a cat.
She’ll be putting him in diapers (nappy) next 😉 – or feeding him baby food. Don’t misunderstand me, I see the good side to this: a loving home and a content cat. I also see the anthropomorphizing of a cat. I have always argued against this because I believe it unhelpful in the human to cat relationship.
Perhaps she is aware of the way she is relating to her cat and accepts it because it is the way their relationship worked out. However, if she is unaware of it, there is a problem.
