Cat sits in front of cardboard box and meows strangely: When her mistress discovers the reason, her heart sinks
Hobart (Washington) - What was that strange meowing sound? Ashley Saldana from Hobart, Washington, fired up her camera last month when she heard the unusual sounds of her cat Pudding. However, she had no idea what was wrong with the animal.

In the video, which has since become a hit with millions of clicks, the woman walks up to the tiger sitting in front of a cardboard box. When Saldana takes a closer look, she discovers a hole that Pudding has already bitten into the cardboard.
In addition to Pudding's meowing, a second one can be heard. So the US-American carefully lifts the box. There sits the reason: Poppy the cat , who accidentally got under it while playing.
"The cutest kittens of all time", reads the subtitle of the video. Saldana's heart sank when she saw how much Pudding had cared for Poppy.
In an interview with Newsweek this week, she revealed that it was she herself who had triggered the disaster - with an action that was supposed to prevent it.

She told the US magazine that Pudding and Poppy love boxes and that they kept climbing into the box the night before the TikTok clip was filmed. That's why she turned it over as a precaution.
But that's exactly why Poppy got into this predicament in the first place. "So, the next morning I came down and started filming because Pudding's meowing was so strange," Saldana explained.
"But that was before I realized that she was meowing like that because she was scared and trying to bite a hole in the box to save Poppy, who was somehow trapped under the box," she added.
Nevertheless, the unfortunate situation showed her owner how much Pudding will stand up for Poppy in an emergency. With 7.7 million clicks and more than 880,000 likes, her viral video is beyond reproach anyway.
