This is the amusing moment a cheeky pet kitten was caught escaping through the gaps in a playpen.

Kanokwan Bangkha spotted the tabby Scottish Fold squeezing its head through the bars in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.

Footage shows the tiny one-month-old cat struggling to push itself out of the enclosure while three of its orange siblings searched for a way to break free.

Meanwhile, another tabby could be seen sitting on the floor outside the cage, waiting for its siblings to get away.

After a laborious tug, the tabby cat successfully wriggled through the gap.

Kanokwan said: 'I was curious how the kittens managed to escape from the cage, and this was the moment I found out they could slip through the square holes. This kitten was leading the others in a little prison break.'
