Ksyusha, the tiny cat from Russia who likes to squeeze herself into glass jars

A lot of pet cats like to snuggle up in their owner's arms but one feline from Russia has a rather unusual habit - squeezing herself inside glass jars.

The female kitten, named Ksyusha, is owned by 37-year-old Korotkova. She explained that the kitten began showing this peculiar behavior when she was just a few weeks old. One day, Korotkova heard an unusual sound coming from the kitchen and rushed over to find something astonishing - Ksyusha had managed to fit her entire body into a glass jar.

Korotkova added: "From the start, she was a special cat, very mischievous and adorable, always liking to hide in different places." However, there's no need to worry about Ksyusha being stuck or uncomfortable in the jars.

Korotkova said that although the fluffy little creature appears unable to move while in the jar, she doesn't feel uncomfortable. "On the surface, it seems like she can't get out, but in reality, she isn't as big as she looks; it's just that she has a lot of fur," she explained.

Korotkova started taking photos of Ksyusha last year at the end of December and posting them online. The images show the playful kitten hiding in all sorts of places - washing machines, under chairs, and seemingly everywhere else.
