You’ll never have any need for a jack-in-the-box with this cute cat and a flip-lid trash receptacle!
If you’re a cat owner you might call your cat all manner of things, ranging from the doting (“Who’s a fluffy little sweetheart?”) to the affectionately insulting (“You’re a trash baby, yes you are.”).
So today, we at SoraNews24 would like to treat you to an actual trash baby. This video, uploaded to Twitter by cute animal aggregate account @GY18164253, shows a cute fluffy grey who’s got a dynamic way of saying hello..

After a couple of taps the trash can gives birth to an entire fluffy bundle of kitteny goodness, who blinks in astonishment before tumbling back into the garbage. Don’t fret, though – another round of tapping summons the kitty right back!
In the replies, commenters hastened to post reminiscent images. Do you remember this cute coin bank that was all the rage a few years ago?
▼ It’s about time we got a remake based on the flip bin in the video instead of a tangerine box.

https://twitter.com/morty5678/status/1100445668965937152There’s little as fun as watching the cat’s stunned face as it springs out of the bin, so thank goodness a smart Twitter user recorded a special “highlight reel” of the event.
https://twitter.com/tanutheworld/status/1100576406751203328Of all the places we’d expect to see a cat, this is definitely in the top five – alongside a filled bathtub, chilling with dogs, apartments with no-pets clauses or a Buddhist altar.
