After hearing unusual sounds coming from within an interior wall in their property, a couple cut away a section of plasterboard and were left stunned.
A couple who were forced to investigate strange sounds coming from within an interior wall in their home have been left stunned by what they found inside.
Taking to TikTok, user Lacy Days recorded footage of herself cutting away a square panel of plasterboard in order to peer inside. After removing the panel, they were presented with what appeared to be a large ball of grey fluff.
However, her partner soon pointed out: “That’s a cat. You can see it breathing.” Lacy proceeded to stroke their trapped visitor in a bid to entice it from the cavity.
“She’s wedged,” her partner declared as the feline showed little sign of movement. Eventually, however, the cat managed to manoeuvre itself and stepped backwards out of the tiny enclosure.
Recognising the intruder, Lacy pointed out the cat likely belonged to Taylor, presumably a neighbour. “Go and get the kennel,” she ordered before returning the cat to it’s home.

Recalling a similar experience to the viral clip, another TikTok user responded: “My mum had carpet laid in her house a few days later a neighbour said her cat was missing, we heard it meowing under the floorboards and was lucky enough to find it.”
A second person added: “I had to do the same but it was a two-week old kitten, who I bottle fed and she just turned one. I also found her brother in my garage and they are together living their best life.”
And it appears the behaviour is quite common for cats, as a third recalled: “My cats did this in our unfinished garage… my dad cut so many holes in the walls trying to find them.”
A fourth person, meanwhile, was amazed by the footage and was left pondering if it was his own missing pet. “Wait, when is this and where are you?” he asked. “We lost our cat three years ago in northern Michigan. Her name is Clover and she was a highland lynx. She looks just like this… we thought the coyotes got her.”

According to Cats Protection, if there’s no medical reason for your cat to hide and they’re not feeling stressed, you might be wondering why they’re choosing to spend their time in the bottom of a dark cupboard rather than with you.
The organisation explains: “As you probably already know, cats like to sleep a lot. In fact, they can spend at least 12 hours a day sleeping. Finding somewhere hidden away might be warm and comfortable for them and provide the perfect place for a cat nap. Your cat might also feel vulnerable while they’re sleeping so their natural instincts will tell them to sleep somewhere hidden and safe where they won’t be disturbed.
“Sometimes your cat might hide when they’re feeling playful. In the wild, most cats will hunt their prey by staying out of sight then pouncing on them. Our domestic cats can mimic this behaviour.”
