After the video being uploaded on Chinese social media, netizens blamed the grandmother for ignoring her grandson's safety.
The grandmother was reportedly felt guilty and admitted her fault after seeing the video.
Since there was no one in second-floor and third-floor flat, the pensioner came up with the idea to rescue the stray cat she adopted.
She explained: "My son is too heavy, so we decided to let our grandson do it.
As he is only around 20 kilograms, there was no problem.
I know I was wrong, I would not dare to do it again."
