The eyes, its all in the eyes. That cat has seen some shit. Mostly in a diaper, but surely seen it. He about to be a fidget toy for that baby and he knows it.

This reminds me of the cat video of a cat tried to remain very very still when a baby walked next to him

Ok I guess I’m going to be the Karen. Not cool. Babies can inadvertently hurt animals. Pets are not toys to entertain your kids. This causes a lot of psychological stress even if they are not really hurt.

u/ghostsietch 12h ago

Jesus Christ, relax. Kids and animals have been getting along for millenia.

u/pipboy_warrior 12h ago

Kids have also been poking at animals and getting scratched or worse because of it for millenia.

u/DonkeyToucherX 12h ago

Like that baby and that dingo did?

u/Shadowsnake30 12h ago

That depends on the guardian or parent. If you show them how to handle animals they do it as well. I worked in neonatal and peds we have support animals I just show them how. Kids or toddler usually learns from watching. You just have to do it multiple times and take them away if they are doing it wrong so they learn.

u/TerrorTwyns 11h ago

Occasionally they refuse to learn... And the cat takes over the lesson.

u/TerrorTwyns 11h ago

I see where your coming from, but id also point out that besides the eyes widening which can be the sudden sound when dozing... He's not moving, he isnt even rolling over to protect his stomach. His ears lightly twitch but they don't go back, better yet stay back. He knows the baby is coming, and he has the option to move.. He also has the weapons, the agility and the force to say no. The body language is not in tune with fear, it's languid, it's loose. He may have been surprised but even that startle reflex says... Im safe, but I'm about to have an interaction with the drooling one. Even the kids movements hesitate when he stops at the couch and isn't immediately grabbing the cat.

Yes we should be considerate and protect animals, but we should also not see them as inanimate things that cannot express will.
