wild kittens may not waddle up to a human

Our last cat did exactly that. Not that young, but she was a very young kitten and she made a beeline for us across the street and never left us for the next 12 years.

Or this is staged crap posted by a user on YouTube called KittySOS who appears to repost rescue videos.

Well okay, that's possible. But the kitten was still cute in that video, regardless of whether or not it was staged. Surely it wasn't paid to meow...

So many people are so cynical about everything on the internet. I don't know man... I just enjoyed watching the cute cat myself.

Valid points.

All my interactions (4) with wild kittens have been them hiding mostly. Never seen a solo one though. Also all humans are probably nice to cats. They might even see mama cat be chill with a human.

I got over the "are they torturing a kitten for clout" pretty quick into it. This felt more and more like someone documenting a rescue. It just bothers the heck out of me they got the kitten walking up to them and not starting with holding the cat or in a box.

:hears meow. Gets camera out:
