Hangover disturbs father and baby: what the baby then does causes a lot of laughter

USA - The world of Fifi (32) and Kareem (35) has been a different one for nine months now. Since then, they have been parents to little Taj. Until then, the Americans had a lot to do with their cats. For years, they have been delighting millions of users on Instagram and TikTok with videos of their furry friends. More than 14 million people follow them on Insta alone. Now, however, there is a new star in the house. But baby Taj has been fighting off competition from the velvet paws for months.

The most recent example is a viral hit in which the little boy once again gets into trouble with one of the house tigers. The bundle of joy is actually sitting in an armchair with his dad, Kareem, looking at his picture book in intimate togetherness.

But then cat Chase comes by again and is sure to attract the 35-year-old's attention. The cat lover kindly invites the house cat to sit in the armchair with him. His son's reaction is not long in coming.

Dumbfounded, Taj looks directly into the camera of his mother, who is filming. As looks are often worth a thousand words, it quickly becomes clear that he doesn't like this at all.

He watches discontentedly as his dad kisses the cat on the head. It doesn't help that Kareem kisses Taj on the head shortly afterwards.

The baby immediately makes it clear what he thinks.

Irritated, Taj closes the book and starts crying shortly afterwards. This brings the book hour to an abrupt end.

"Taj doesn't like sharing attention with his older brother Chase, so he reacts out of jealousy," the couple told Newsweek in an interview this week.

But while the baby isn't enjoying the situation at all, everyone else can enjoy themselves all the more. The clip has already received 3.6 million clicks and more than 120,000 likes on Instagram. There are also a good half a million clicks on TikTok.

But the mood between the cat and the baby isn't actually quite as bad as in the clip.

The parents told Newsweek : "They have such a strong bond, especially Chase, who likes to protect Taj. But they are both a little jealous of each other from time to time."
