My friend, fellow comedian and NickMom co-star Calise Hawkins shared this video with me today and I just had to post it here, a) because it’s crazy and hilarious and b) because I want to talk about why I’m even able to see it. In it, we watch a cat decide to attack a babysitter who he has deemed troublesome to the household. But what I want to know is: WHY ARE YOU FILMING YOUR BABYSITTER AND YOUR CATS, PEOPLE?! I know this isn’t the only family with surveillance cameras in the house, but my God! Really? I don’t know, there’s just something about it that creeps me out. Enjoy the video, then let me know in the comments if you think it’s okay or essential, even, to film your babysitter:

0 thoughts on “Cat Attacks Babysitter! But Why Was It Filmed?”
I don’t understand why you find this creepy, those cameras are set up to fill the inside of a house that’s what they are doing. Both as nanny cam and security. Did you think they where set up just to film the cats and the Babysitter. Its pretty clear they cut it to show the cats path of rage.
But that kitty went totally Thunderdome on the Babysitter, wicked funny.
First the cameras were installed for security. There’s nothing creepy there, it’s actually very smart seeing how many sicko’s are roaming free in our society. Second, the cat was trying to protect the child. When my son had his heel prick done my cat bolted into the room to make sure that he was OK. I’m convinced if the nurse and not my husband was holding the baby that there would have been something very similar happen at my house. As it was the cat ran in saw my husband with the baby and then calmly walked up to them and thoroughly inspected him to make sure he was fine; then went on about his day.

Totally creepy. Especially if you don’t tell the babysitter.

My cats are super protective of my kids. I have no doubt that they would attck someone if they thought that person was hurting them.
