Who says cats aren't loyal? I watched a version of this that had a clip of the boy back home cuddling with the cat: awwww! Based on that, I'm going with Cat Defends his Boy.

That's my interpretation of the video as well. While it's true that cats can be territorial, this particular cat clearly views the boy as a member of her "pride", and cats can be fiercely loyal to their family unit (to which those of us who've had cats, can attest). Seeing this cat with her family, it's pretty obvious that she chose them as her pride. I think they showed another video where the parents told the story of how they came to have this particular cat... apparently, it was a stray that followed them home at one point while they were dating/before they married. The cat clearly chose them, and sees the little boy as "hers"!
