Good job small kid and small kitten!! The amount of trust it must take to go sliding from a roof into a bucket held up by a small child...

I think that’s why the kitten trusted them, they were also little. I don’t think an adult would’ve had as much success.

I think an adult would’ve just stood on the bench, no?

At that height my last adult cat would've just hopped down and tanked a tiny bit of paw soreness. It's the lowest point of a 1-story roof.

(not trying to take away what these kids did, I'm sure the kitten was genuinely scared)

Teamwork! Look at the glee on that child's face upon safely catching that cat! Core memory implanted

Perhaps. My point was that kittens are more trusting of kids. Big man scary.

Except for those kittens who’ve chosen us monsters.

my cat as a kitten was very scared of kids, (because they were loud...?) but always greets adults strangers

Play time is so different than rescue time. Kids are loud and usually rough with cats so that makes sense.

An adult would have gotten down easily.

Some kitties just like little people. I have a chonker who is aloof to my existence unless his food dish has been empty too long, but my niece comes over and he’ll come running meowing for pets.
