In this heartwarming clip, the young girl’s family made a big show of surprising her with a very special holiday gift. They blindfolded the child by covering her eyes with a winter hat and led her to a chair while one of her family members filmed her reaction. Based on this dramatic presentation, the girl assumed she was about to receive the one thing she’d been hoping for. Imagine her disappointment when she realized that her loved ones had played a joke on her instead!
When the child was finally allowed to remove her hat, she found a cat-shaped Christmas ornament in her hands. That’s when she knew that her family had pulled a prank on her by leading her to believe that she was getting a real cat.
“I thought there was going to be a cat,” said the girl.
Thankfully, this prank ended on a much happier note.
As it turns out, this was only the first phase of the practical joke. Just as the child began to resign herself to the fact that she’d been pranked, her father stepped into the room carrying a large bag. This wasn’t just any bag, either — it looked like a pet carrier!
“Is that a cat?” the kid asked, breaking down into tears as she repeated herself. “Is that a cat?”
Sure enough, the cutest kitty ever was sitting inside the bag, just waiting to be cuddled by her new owner! As the young girl held the adorable animal in her arms, she couldn’t help but weep with joy. Now that she had the cat of her dreams, she realized that her family’s prank had actually made her Christmas the most unforgettable one yet!
Phew, this video certainly had us on our toes! We’re so glad this practical joke had a happy ending.
