Hard to call fake on it, cat aren't actors. But seriously, that's the first lady some black dude would break right into her appartement, a cat can take her down, she's ****ing weaksauce, I love how she's trying to convince the cat to play with that toy as she grabs the kid. You know, it's not hard to immobilize a cat, you grab it behind it's neck and voila; you're in complete control of that said cat.
As for why the cat attacked, the cat clearly was after her, not the kid. It looks like protection yeah.
Seriously, being that wife's husband, I'd laugh my ass off to the tape and that would be our divorce. I'm not even kidding.
And who the ****'s James Taylor anyway?
