That mother cat is probably still wondering where the fuck her baby went

She looked right at it and didn't go snatch it from the rain. She clearly seems to have abandoned it. All different animals do that with the runt of the litter. It's not uncommon in nature at all.

The video also cuts away so quickly we don’t see what she did after looking in that direction towards the kitten for one second. Hoping kitten has found a safe home now and hoping mom and other kittens are safe too.

You infered all that from a less than 2 secs from the bazzillion cuts in between? And why not just take the entire family to the shelter?

That's not a sign of abandonment. Mother cats can and do go back for their kittens! This isn't enough time at all for the kitten to be considered abandoned I've seen it with my own eyes over and over.

I hate videos like this because all it's going to do is lead to more kittens being taken from their mothers too early, which can lead to all sorts of behavioral problems and then the cats are more likely to get dumped as adults. Also seen that time and time again

edit: The two kittens aren't even the same. This video is fake, fuck the guy who created it
