This is the hilarious moment a toddler playing hide and seek squeezed herself into a cat basket.

Sheza, 6, discovered her younger sister, Kinnas, inside the small cage during their playtime in Ketapang, Indonesia.

Footage captured by their mother, Rini Puji Lestari, shows the one-year-old girl wedged tightly inside the pet carrier with her legs sticking up in the air on June 29.

Their mum can be heard giggling in surprise before gently telling Kinnas to come out of the pet container.

Sheza attempted to help by lowering her sister's legs, but when Kinnas could not crawl out, she suddenly burst into tears.

Rini quickly stepped in to comfort the frightened toddler and carefully lifted her out of the basket.

The mother then gently patted her daughter's clothes and head to brush off any debris she had picked up inside the carrier.
