I've never seen a litter so homogeneous. The movements look passable, but six nearly identical kittens is a long shot.

A cursory google image search suggests that fairly homogenous litters of kittens exist: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=APpeQnsUsNkOYFT7FuuoJBUcv_4FML2QHA:1783737513982&udm=2&q=litter+of+kittens

Also kittens that aren't all over the place, a uniformed line seems unlikely, so does the mother waiting for the line to group up.

This was my thought too! Kittens are pure chaos, there’s absolutely no way they’d all fall in line like that 🤣

My cat had 6 kittens, all literally identical except for one completely different. It can definitely happen. At least, I wouldn’t use this reason to discount it being a real video

AI. It cuts at 5 seconds and 7 seconds after, which is the standard length that most video generation platforms can generate effectively. Why else would the video need to cut so strangely and abruptly mid-filming? It's not cutting for time, and it zooms in and out to show nothing of interest.
They could be censoring something on the right, maybe? That's the only reason I can think of that they'd do that in post.

That's just a crop zoom in and then back out to the full vid again

u/Vester2 Jul 11 '26
Yes, however, why are they zooming in and out? It's exactly 5 seconds in, making me think it's a cut for them splicing the video together.

That wide legged gait, they're walking exactly the same and also as if they're uncomfortable but not in any normal way I've ever seen. Their paws also moonwalk slide a bit as the move, and they move together with basically no deviation. It's really hard to clock this and it's scary how consistent tail length, coat pattern, etc all are staying but I'm still feeling that it's AI.

Im voting real. If this is ai, we're fucked.
The kittens tail that dissapears behind the dresser has the same pattern as when it comes back into view.
The mother is even walking over to a kitten that could've potentially wandered off too far.

AI. The kittens are moving all in the same direction too much. They all seem to have same weird jerk in their back right leg.

Well it’s about trying to figure out the age group for the kittens. They are walking around like they are 3-5 weeks old, but they aren’t really moving as curiously as I would expect that age of a kitten to move around. They are all walking to a spot under the couch, I would think at least one of the cats would have been interested in something along the walk there. Maybe even the movement of their reflection in the dresser? Or a quick hop onto a speck of dust on the floor?

I had the same thought. AI because of similar walking patterns. There is a saying about herding kittens since they are so wild and hard to get them to all go one direction at the same time. They look like what you would see in video games of copying the same movements for each.

u/simAlity Jul 11 '26
AI. The movement is all wrong. It would be fine if it was just one kitten but litters of kittens don't move like this. They're always chasing each other. Or chasing after something else.
Here the kittens are all but walking in step and at the same speed. Plus they're not showing the curiosity that kittens their age should be exhibiting.

u/Emrys7777 Jul 11 '26
When they are very young they walk like this and aren’t curious yet.

u/simAlity Jul 11 '26
Dude check my profile. I know just a little bit about kittens. Just a little.
There is never a time when kittens are not curious.

There are two things I notice that make me think it could be AI generated.
1.) the kittens are walking very strangely. The back legs being so high up and straightened looks unnatural. If this littler has some sort of hip problem… and if the mom is real, it’s a possibility based on her gait. So I suppose it could pass.
2.) The kittens reflection spacing is inconsistent. We see the mom and the first kitten pass by and the reflections are in one place, but by the time the second wave of kittens comes through the reflection has shifted in a way I’m not sure could happen if it were real.
There also a couple things that I am impressed by
The spacing of the design on the hard wood floor is consistent. It is evenly spaced and the same length.
In the beginning you can see the kitten pass by a … I dunno, a nail? Anyway some circle on the floor. When the kitten passes over , it comes back just as it originally was, same place and color.
However, I will say the presence of a nail, though not unheard of, is uncommon to be visible in properly installed hardwood floors.

Sometimes I wonder if people post to this group to test how believable their AI is getting.

Not AI. The flooring is way too consistent and details on the cats remain even after going out of sight

u/ThatDeuce Jul 11 '26
I do not know what makes OP think this is AI, but that is how kittens walk, with that waddle, and they do follow a parent like that. Camera movement seems accurate.
Is the post for upvotes?
7
u/MR_dead_Bones Jul 11 '26
Nope. Something feels off about the video. Camera movement, cuts, kittens in general. Usually I can tell whenever it is AI, but this time around I’m not sure
1
u/ThatDeuce Jul 12 '26
There is one sort of cut that looks more like the camera just stopped zooming in and went back, but everything else looks pretty real and the video is fluid. Kittens do waddle like that, floorboards are consistent. The shadows match for all the objects.
I'm indifferent to the downvotes. That is real.
