A short clip posted on a social media website of a cat rearing up on its hind legs and walking off camera has become a surprise online hit.
The footage, posted on YouTube on Sunday, has garnered over 1.8m views in the short time it has been online.
Simply entitled Cat gone, the video, which originated from a user in Russia, shows a ginger feline relaxing on a carpet, its attention on an object behind the lens.
From its prone position the cat suddenly snaps startled onto its back legs before creeping off camera in a manner many viewers found reminiscent of Michael Jackson's dance routine in his music video for hit 1980s pop song Thriller.
This is the funniest video I have ever seen on YouTube, wrote one amused viewer, no matter how many times I watch it I can't stop laughing.
