First, the little cat manages to get her head out, then her paw. After a few minutes and some skillful maneuvering, the kitten plops out and shakes off the effort.

Cats are famously flexible creatures

TikTok users were stunned by this kitten's wild escape artist skills. One even joked that this kitten is "all fur, no bones."

According to feline experts at Cornell Center for Materials Research, cats are just very flexible animals.

Per the experts, "Cats are able to rotate their supple spines more than many other animals and can twist their bodies to a much greater extent. Cats' vertebrae — the spools-on-a-string-like bones in the back — are very flexibly connected and have especially elastic cushioning disks between them."

In other words, cats' unique bone structure makes them amazing escape artists. A closer look at the clip also reveals that this cat has escaped from a broken part of the cage, as the corner is missing a bar, so had a bit of help along the way!

Hopefully, this little Houdini got rewarded with a treat and a better cage that didn't make her want to tempt fate with escape.
