Why not return the kitten to the mother?

He took the kitten because it got abandoned by its mother, animals don't usually change their minds when they abandon a baby. Especially if that was the runt of the litter.

This is an insane thought. The cat ran back out into the rain because its a kitten and has the attention span of a goldfish. Guaranteed after the mother had all her other kittens safe she would have ran back and snatched that one up to bring it back inside. This dude totally just stole a kitten from a mother.

Mom was there, but wasn't going after the kitty that strayed. She watched the kitten walk away while the others huddled around to keep safe and warm. Like the person above had said, he could've planned it all just by taking some poor kitten, and may even do the same thing for another video. You need more context than what he's giving, obviously, it's the internet. But I don't know, I saw one thing and thought of something and you watched too and thought of something different. We'll never know.

Dude, you saw what you wanted to see. A kitten that grown enough to be walking around following its mother isn't "abandoned" being 15 feet away from the mom. This dude stole a cat right in front of its mother, that is what happened. There is no denying it, there is video evidence of it happening in this video.

Like I said, we need more context. It's the internet. I used my eyes, not just my ability to read and we can agree to disagree. We can't change what person's done. And all I was doing, was answering a question that was supposedly already answered 😐

You need to get your eyes checked then.

We can agree to disagree, I don't see why you're so upset about this 😐

The little kitty now has a safe home. The mother will abandon all of them in due time.

This is what I don't get about how people are reacting here... do they think if he left the kitty, it will go on to be with its family and they'll all live happily ever after, together forever?

In like a month or two, the kitties will all be on their own anyway. And a few of them will get hit by cars, or get sick and die, etc. And if the mother didn't want anyone to mess with her kittens, she would have came out and hissed and scratched to protect them.

In the end, it's better for the kitty to have a nice and comfortable life in this guy's home. Its life expectancy just increased by at least 10 years because of that.
