The clip, posted to Instagram, shows the actress holding her pet while spinning in circles around her living room.
While some fans praised the video as charming and playful, others were alarmed by the way the animal was handled.
Harmful to cats?
Concerned commenters claimed that such actions could be harmful to cats, urging Garner to be more mindful. One follower wrote, “Vets say not to do this – it’s dangerous!” Another commented, “Animals can get dizzy too. It’s not just a joke.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, saying the cat might not be enjoying the experience. “Poor cat,” one user said. “This isn’t entertainment, it’s distressing.”
Garner isn't the only pet owner joining this viral trend, as similar videos are flooding social media.
National treasure
However, not all reactions were critical. Several fans defended the actress, applauding her down-to-earth nature and sense of humour. “You’re a national treasure,” one person commented. “This made my day.”
Unfazed by the online chatter, Jennifer spent Easter with her ex-husband, actor Ben Affleck, and their children. The family was seen together, appearing in good spirits despite the social media stir.
