The reactions were definitely gender-related here. The Boy was all “meh,” but the girl, who was a teenage mom before I adopted her, became very agitated, looking everywhere for the kitten. I had to stop playing the clip! I worry that she is all sad now and missing her kittens. I had wondered if she remembered having them, but now I’m pretty sure she does.

My male cat darling got all confused looking for the meowing!

I love my kitty.

My own went caraaazy lookin for the baby!!! Even now after it is over, she is all at attention!

this is hilarious. i am relieved to find that mine is not the only cat to freak out about this video. i was feeling a little guilty.

Oh, poor little angry/scared kitty!

My Kaatskill was completely freaked out by the baby kitty noise and came creeping over to my laptop, the look on her face clearly saying, “I hear baby!kitty but I don’t *smell* baby!kitty!”

I quickly turned off the sound and she *flinched,* and started rapidly sniffing sniffing sniffing and looking for the baby kitty. She gave my computer speakers a good long sniff and after searching everything – including pawing my husband’s coat pockets suspiciously – she sorta settled down.

But moments later, she’s up and doing a patrol all under the bed.

Oh, Kaatskill, I’m SO sorry. ::stiffles empathtic/cute overloaded/apologetic giggles.

Boy, am I getting the Eveeevil Eye.

dear dr. cute my cat thought the kitty movie was her kitty!when it said meow .so she looked and looked to find it! it was so funny! from lisa.

omg. my kittehs came running, full speed at the sound of this video. I wouldn’t be surprised if thems was still looking for the baby.

LOL I’m not sure what the kitty was saying but JamesTheCat was definitely upset by it. He likes my laptop even less now!

mute — that video of your cat’s reaction is wonderful! Shows just what all the peeps have been saying, the meeping kitten drives cats nuts.

And I gotta say it again, that baby has a LOUD voice!

(and for those who’ve been worried about the kitteh, I’m sure he wasn’t psychologically scarred for life by this incident. As others have pointed out, momma cats leave the kitters alone for stretches of time — to eat, to attend to other, erm, “things”; if they’re outdoor farm or feral cats, they go off to hunt — and the babies are just fine. A little annoyed sometimes, perhaps, but they’re fine. Mothers of any variety, cat, human, whatever, can’t be with their babies 24/7, even when they’re newborn. Little Meepy McMeepersons will be just fine.
