This is the amusing moment a kitten slipped off a couch while leaning on a table.

Pet owner Tonie Rose Palaganas spotted the domestic short-haired feline dangling in the air after losing its balance in Pangasinan, the Philippines.

Footage shows the one-month-old kitten lounging on the sofa with its three siblings on November 9.

Moments later, the curious kitty stood on its hind legs with its paws on the table to watch its black sibling sniffing the rug laid on the desk.

It then misstepped on the couch, causing the hapless cat to hang in the air as its claws became caught on the mat's threads.

One of the kittens pawed at the dangling animal's foot as it struggled to regain balance, but it eventually fell onto the floor.

The kitten stood still, visibly dazed from the drop, while looking up at its siblings.
