Cat can’t quite get his box together, but he still gets an A for effort in the outtakes for Kuroneko Yamato’s commercial.
A few months back, we shared with you a cleverly cute video for Japanese delivery company Yamato Un’yu, in which a talented black cat puts together a shipping box. If you know cats, you’ll know that they just love boxes, even if they don’t have the dexterity to put one together. And they certainly don’t have the patience to take orders from someone who walks on two legs!
So it’s probably no surprise that the box seen in Yamato’s ad didn’t get put together in just one take. This week, the company has brought us a compilation of the many box fails that occurred in the making of the commercial, which are just as adorable as the successes.
▼ First, he tries to unfold the flaps so they stand up right…
▼ He doesn’t quite get the hang of folding the front flap inwards…
▼Peeling the cover strips off the adhesive doesn’t go quite as gracefully as planned…
▼Not quite… You’re supposed to seal it closed, not open it!
So he made a few blunders along the way, but, as proven by the final commercial, he did get it put together in the end, and for a cat he still did a pretty good job!
