Hilarious moment excited cat sees squirrel on video - and launches himself at laptop

A family from Salford captured the moment their cat launched himself at the computer screen after seeing a picture of a squirrel.

The chaotic clip filmed last January, shows the moment the pet called Eddie jumped at the rodent on the screen before bouncing off the monitor and taking the keyboard with him on his fall.

Tracey Timmins, 46, mum of Eddie’s owner Bonnie Collier, 17, said luckily Eddie wasn’t hurt - although it did give the family from Eccles a shock.

And, she added that the hilarious clip is how the family will remember Eddie who sadly passed away recently.

Tracey, said: “Bonnie would put screensavers on the computer screen of birds or other wildlife and normally he would just sit and watch for hours.

“But for whatever reason, this time he just flew at the monitor.

"It made us all jump – but he got the biggest shock!

“As soon as we knew he wasn’t hurt, we started laughing straight away – and we still laugh a year on.”
