Tiny stray kitten wobbled over to me and stopped at my feet, as if asking to be adopted (youtu.be)

Feels like one of those staged rescue animals posts.

That was an awkward start and wild kittens may not waddle up to a human. They may have been previously aquiinted.

Mama cats do forget babies from thier litter as they move between nests. This is why the kittens meow so loud.

Considering the massive street and no hidey holes nearby mama cat could've died on the street and the rest are goners...

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

I will say this one feels a bit real due to the extended documentation of healing. Calling it even on this one. Lost kitty mom forgot as she was moving nests. Found a nice hooman. Adopted the hooman.

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.

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:

I see the cat redistribution system is working as intended
