Imagine checking your baby monitor and finding not just your little one but also a fluffy surprise guest in the crib! That’s exactly what happened to TikTok user sonja_overman, and it quickly became an internet sensation.
In the video, Sonja’s toddler peacefully snoozes while an adventurous kitten decides to make the crib its playground. At first, the curious kitty explores the crib, seemingly oblivious to the baby. But when the toddler wakes up and spots the furry intruder, an adorable cuddle session begins.
Despite the heartwarming scene, not everyone online had warm feelings about it. Some people expressed concerns about the kitten’s safety, while others were surprised by the baby’s reaction. Commenters flooded the post with opinions, some even criticizing Sonja’s parenting.
Sonja, undeterred by the judgment, responded with not one but four videos to address the comments. In one, she introduced the online community to the kitten, ensuring everyone that both the baby and the cat are perfectly fine and “obsessed with each other.” In another clip, she explained that their house was undergoing renovation, so doors weren’t an option. And she clarified that they were following safe sleep guidelines, emphasizing that her 15-month-old daughter was absolutely fine with a blanket in the crib.
Sonja expressed her surprise at the unexpected attention, especially the concern from what she referred to as “‘Karens’ caring about what they shouldn’t.” Perhaps these videos will help lighten the situation and remind everyone that sometimes, adorable moments are just that—cute and innocent.
