The owner of two kitties shared a video of the epic fail on his TikTok page, @maple.and.pumpkin, and it soon became a viral sensation!

In the clip, the orange cat named Pumpkin can be seen hiding in a cardboard box in the garden, apparently waiting for his sister, Maple, to come by so that he can scare her with a well-timed jump.

However, as he lies in the box and prepares for the big prank, kitten Maple walks past undisturbed – as Pumpkin misses the right moment and jumps out far too late!

"He's got the spirit, that's all that counts," one viewer wrote.

"The other cat slow down walking knowing the OTHER cat's plan," another said, to which the owner replied, "She's too smart for him."
