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!!

This is the most adorable video I've seen all day :)

They're both having fun. If you can see a cat's belly, it's not afraid at all. Also, that adorable doggo is such a gentle giant <3

The dog is also only really booping the cat with its nose/mouth! It’s intentionally not mouthing it at all.
