In this silly clip, Jenni was in the middle of a punching bag session when her kitten joined her on the mat. Soon, the animal started trying to grab her feet with his paws. It was almost like he understood that the woman was practicing a fighting technique and wanted to help her hone her skills. We’re not sure how useful his methods actually were, but they certainly kept Mom on her toes!

Unfortunately, as Jenni pointed out in her caption, this cat was engaging in the wrong type of fighting. While the woman was working on punching and kicking, the animal seemed to want to wrestle!

“He wants to grapple instead of Muay Thai,” she said.

Playful kitten or professional trainer?

Hundreds of thousands of people have watched the hysterical clip of this kitten trying to play with his owner while she hit the punching bag. Some commenters joked that the cat was just trying to make Jenni move her legs more during her workout.

“Lowkey making you implement that footwork,” wrote one user.

“I’ll have you know your cat is your coach and wants you to work on your footwork more!!!” another chimed in.

Well, this cat might not be the best trainer, but he’s certainly the cutest! We’re sure he had the best time play-fighting with Mom while she worked out.
