Los Angeles, California - Benny the British shorthair cat likes to make himself comfortable in the most unusual places... including inside a giant five foot high decorative vase!

The huge object was so heavy that it initially took two delivery men to transport it into the house.

When the new vase was finally in place, Benny's family was overjoyed.

The cat himself showed no particular interest in the piece – until he found himself caught in its clutches.

Benny the cat was playing near the vase, just "zooming around in the area" but his owner Tiffany "paid him no mind."

"Suddenly, I heard a faint meow. Since he rarely meows, I knew something was up," she told Newsweek.

Tiffany searched everywhere but the vase at first, not expecting the unusual hiding place.

Eventually, Tiffany did look inside. Lo and behold – there was Benny!

Benny was sitting on the floor, and he looked upset.

"How could you do this?" asked his exasperated owner, her voice echoing down into the vase.

Tiffany captured the hysterical moment on video and posted it on Instagram to viral success!

Tiffany said that Benny has a "knack for getting into seemingly impossible places" and has played in the vase before, although he usually needs help getting free from his hidey holes.

While some viewers were amused by the cat's predicament, others were worried about the cat's health. But the rescue was not all that difficult!

"Together, we carefully tipped the vase onto its side, and Benny scampered out," said Tiffany with a laugh. In total, her beloved cat was stuck in the vase for no more than an hour.
