Mother cat scared by her own kitten

This is the hilarious moment a mother cat was scared by her own baby in southern China.

The clip, shot in Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province, shows a one-month-old kitten walking to its mum and using its paw to touch her.

But the mother cat seems to have forgotten her maternal duties and leaps into the air before landing far away from her baby.

Watch what happens in the video above.
