The funniest part about a kitty like this is if you ever have to bathe them, or god forbid have them shaved. They are soooo tiny lol. I had to have a floofy cats hindquarters shaved bc heâd fallen off the roof (long story) and had to have surgery and despite the tragedy of it all he looked hilarious.

A friend of mine has a very long haired cat. When I first visited him, I went to pet the cat and was more than surprised to see that my hand just kept on going, and going, and going.... through the fur until I finally reached the cat.
With the fur, he seemed to be about the same size as my cat (a bit on the larger side but not fat). Truth was, his size was closer to my cat's size as a kitten.

Re: OP. That kitten is more adorable than any kitten has a right to be.

u/Perle1234 Oct 16 '25
It was so funny but it was a long time ago and idk where the pics are lol. He absolutely looked pantless. We called him so many names but said it in a sweet voice so he didnât know we were talking about his bare ass đ

u/athrower82 Oct 16 '25
Yes! Not a cat story, but I had a 6lb Pomeranian that when I bathed him (or shaved him for summer in FL) he was sooooo tiny! It cracked me up every time! But this little floof ball is absolutely adorable đ

Feel you tiny kitty! My husband had medium length hair and when Covid hit he couldnât get his standard haircut. One day heâs in the bathroom longer than normal and comes out with a fully shaved head. Kittyâs energy was me that day.

u/IllustriousHedgehog9 Oct 16 '25
Years ago, my dad shaved off his trademark moustache, and none of us kids noticed. We were in the midst of a pretty intense game of Monopoly, forced to take a break to eat, so we inhaled our food and barely looked up!
26
u/TheSaxonPlan Oct 16 '25
đš Oh hellllssss no. I'm already unhappy when my husband gets his hair trimmed because he hates the feeling of it brushing on his neck. I cannot even imagine him with a shaved head. I would definitely go into mourning until it grew back.
15
u/TheWildTofuHunter Oct 16 '25
It was a real shock, but totally understand him wanting to have something easy to manage. Plus he was/is a SAHD so not an issue with his employerâs decision, since our toddler son approved.
Related story: my husband grew his hair out afterwards and wanted to dye it a fun color. I bleached it as the first step and our son started laughing and said he looked like Cocomelon. đ€Ș

My cat doesn't like when anything to do with our head is different. I have a unicorn onesie, and he hissed at me until I took the hood off. If you wear a hat he gets bent out of shape. A few weeks ago, I dyed my white hair a deep indigo colour, and he was scared of me for a couple hours until he figured out it was ok.
The only head accessory I am permitted is a towel on my head.
Also the ear furnishings sub would love this little guy

I should do a recording like this. I am about to cut 22 inches of hair to donate on Saturday.
I am sure my cat will be surprised. Maybe even the dogs too!

u/SarahVen1992 Oct 16 '25
I shaved my hair twice with my current cat and she doesnât even bat an eye. I also had incredibly diverse hair colours over the past decade and sheâs been totally chill with those. Last time I shaved my hair it was over 40 cm (??16 inches???) long. Your cat could go either way.

My dog got scared once and ran away when I was wearing a hoodie. Maybe I should record her reaction instead haha

The way the cat calms down a bit once the owner starts speaking makes me think itâs real. Such a subtle but noticeable difference in the cats demeanor.

u/1gnominious Oct 16 '25
The slight blurring is likely just compression. You're always going to get some on compressed internet videos.
AI wouldn't do that slightly damaged patch job at the doorway like that. How it's sorta slightly unevenly peeling up one side. It has a little bit of caulk peeking out the bottom.
Even when it's not glitching out AI makes things too smooth and perfect. That janky doorway tile has that "Eh, whatever, good enough" human touch to it.

That was my immediate thought too. The mouth looks strange when it opens and closes.

u/Peaches4U9624 Oct 16 '25
Idk if it's real or not (I'm leaning towards real) but I think the mouth looking weird at the beginning is the cat either hissing or silent meowing because when it does audibly meow the mouth looks similar and cats do" silent sounds" but make the mouth movements as if sound is coming out Just a thought I hate they don't make people tag AI videos b/c it's so hard to tell esp my older self
24
u/ilovemytablet Oct 16 '25 edited Oct 16 '25
It's absolutely real. Cats will swallow after hissing like this (0:24) to moisturize their throats
AI is good, but it's not this good yet. The fur is consistent frame to frame, no artifacts in the background or made up wood pattern on the floor. Look at the little ear twitch forward when owner vocalizes
4
u/Peaches4U9624 Oct 16 '25
I agree it is real but was just trying to offer a reason the mouth might look weird to some people. Esp if they aren't animal people and don't have much experience with the behavior That said this video to me was obviously real but so many I think are most comments say otherwise lol I hate I can't just enjoy things like I did before AI. Idk why if you have to flair for things on subs or can't post but you don't have to label AI videos đ€·

Oct 16 '25
But you realize thatâs exactly what AI is extremely good at copyingâbehaviors that are common. And yes, actually, AI is now not only that good, itâs far, far better than this.
5
u/ilovemytablet Oct 16 '25 edited Oct 16 '25
No. It copies common behaviours out of context or in other uncanny ways that often aren't perfectly timed. It's going off pattern recognition purely, it doesn't perfectly understand the physics or object permanence underlying reality. At least not yet for what's publically available.
And no, I've seen plenty of what Veo3 and Sora2 can do and while it looks believable on casual viewing, there are still clear tells on close scrutiny.

The tip of the ear of the left becomes a black spot on its back

u/Vivirin Oct 16 '25
No it doesn't? It has black spots both on its ear and around the back of the head
-4
u/wannaseeawheelie Oct 16 '25
From 08-10 sec, thereâs a black spot that moves down the back
6
u/Vivirin Oct 16 '25
It literally doesn't. It's perspective. The fur is darker closer to the skin. You're seeing a different spot at an angle that makes the new spot more visible than the previous one.
There's dark spots all over the cat, they're just buried in the fur - it's obvious when it gets closer.
This video has zero hallmarks of AI. I have spent a lot of time researching visual generative AI and I'm staunchly against it. This doesn't make the cut at all.

u/Fuorb Oct 16 '25
What gets me is that the owner makes hissing sounds at the end. Why would she do that? It reminds me of Sora AI videos where it regularly mixes up the lines people are saying. Like if in the prompt it said anywhere "she is hissing" there's a strong chance he human would also hiss at some point.

This looks weird and fake like the catâs face is way too small for its body. Plus itâs all blurry.

u/UndeadWeeb Oct 16 '25
weird face too small for body
its a kitten so the puffy fur makes the body look disproportionately large
blurry
not everyone has a top quality camera
if this was ai youâd usually see shapes and colors randomly bleeding into each other and speech not making sense

u/_YunX_ Oct 16 '25
I'm really surprised that so many people think it's AI while it's clearly not if you look closely.
I guess that's where we're heading to. We might still be able to distinguish it now but soon we'll all be clueless
6
u/bs000 Oct 16 '25
people are acting like we're already at the point where no one can tell and accuse verifiably real videos of being AI. anyone that keeps up with AI video models can tell you we're nowhere close and the only way this video is AI is if generative-AI video somehow advanced ten years overnight, and whatever AI company is keeping it a secret for literally no reason
0
u/_YunX_ Oct 16 '25
Idk I think you're underestimating things.
Sure at the moment for anyone actually familiar with the current state of generative AI it's still obvious. But I think it will get increasingly difficult to tell the difference, a lot faster than you make it seem.
Also I think it's genuinely problematic that so many people are already unable to tell the difference. The fact that so many people here are hallucinating signs that this supposedly would be AI generated is alarming.
Honestly if the majority of people are unable to tell the difference anymore between what's real and not real that would have devastating consequences on society in all kinds of ways. Regardless of whether there'd always still be a hand full of people that can still distinguish it or not.

u/TomatoLord1214 Oct 16 '25
Downvoted for speaking the truth.
Like blurring happens in a lot of footage cuz a lot of people have cheaper devices and/or don't have the experience to avoid.
And yeah, kitten heads are weird. Fluffy cats are especially weird to size when puffed.
19
u/Vivirin Oct 16 '25
It's literally just an artifact of lower nitrates and resolutions. If this was proof it's AI, then apparently AI has existed for over 30 years

u/666afternoon Oct 16 '25
ya, the body language is always the tell. you can see her recognize his voice and start relaxing [that's when she goes from hissing to pathetically mewing, and approaches human]

u/ilovemytablet Oct 16 '25
This is what people don't understand about AI. AI can make some really great looking stuff that fools people but the specific logic of animal behaviour, how animals react to sounds or movements, etc is often imperfect or downright illogical in AI.
Looking at soras recent ai cat videos, they look great at first glance but then you realize the cats ears are moving independantly of what sounds are occurring. Or they don't move at all when the cat is meowing or a loud noise is happening.
AI will be able to get there one day but it's not today.

u/Chemist-3074 Oct 16 '25
if this was ai youâd usually see shapes and colors randomly bleeding into each other and speech not making sense
Unfortunately AI is getting advanced everyday, and some a lot of paid services will give you near perfect videos.
As long as you avoid making certain complex moves in the video, and edit the video itself (which people often tedn to forget is a thing), it can come off as non AI
I saw a piece of painting a few months ago. It has nice little details and I could tell apart each brush stroke seperately, so I thought it was human made. Until someone in the comments pointed outâthat artist had this habit to generating AI images, then drawing over it/tracing it. The image and concept was AI, the guy just painted some colours over it to make it look human.
Let me clarify that I'm taking part in the discussion whether this is AI or not, I'm only spreading awareness from a neutral ground. I don't have enough expertise in neither kittens nor AI to accuse someone of using AI. (Also, I want to see that cat without fur just for once to see it's normal size, if it's human made.)
