The baby lives with a cat and has only recently become interested in the animal. His parents say he tries to pet the cat, but isn't super excited about the feline.

"At first, you can tell my husband and I were both surprised by his adorable and vivacious response because I wasn't even positioned in a good spot to film the video," the 28-year-old mother told Newsweek.

She added that, while her son usually smiles at their cat, his reaction to the dog was "on a different level."

"He just loves dogs and something about them is very funny to him," she said.

In another video, the TikToker explained that Easton is her "miracle rainbow baby," and brings her and her husband lots of joy. She says she likes to watch the video of him laughing at the dog when she needs a pick-me-up.
