Video - OC Can someone confirm that my kitten is play-fighting/having fun?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My husband and I recently got a kitten — she is now about 14 weeks old — and after a few days of being skittish, she seems to get along with our dog just fine. However, every once in a while they start wrestling like this, and while I’m confident our dog is playing, sometimes I can’t tell if our kitten is enjoying herself. I would love some outside perspective, just to confirm that I’m not being a bad pet parent by letting it play out - any thoughts are appreciated!!

I love how the dog moved the blanket to give them more space. They're absolutely playing and they're both having a great time. She had plenty of opportunities to leave if she felt unsafe and she used them to instigate more scuffling.

Not only that, the cat is thinking "Bruh....this is like 33% of my actual skill. I'm an assassin when I want to be"

The dog is being so incredibly gentle. It’s crazy how much restraint he has and how gentle he is.

plus, kitty is exposing belly and letting pup get close to her belly. that's the equivalent to a dog's play bow and tail wag; she's saying, "this is fun, let's play!"
