Tug-of-War with Kitten who Refuses to Give White Tiger Toy, Kisses it and Guards it

Tug-of-war with Mallows, the 3 months old kitten. She stole this white tiger plush toy and played with it over a pink pillow. Her owner wanted to get the white tiger toy away but she refused to give it. She pulls it closer to herself and kisses it; played with it. She then carried the toy to a puzzle mat and continued playing with it. Noticing her owner to have come closer, she positioned herself in front of the white tiger plush toy as if saying: "Stayback! Deal with me before you can touch my friend."
