The video was posted on Reddit with a simple yet apt caption. “Packaging assistant,” it reads. The video opens to show a woman sitting on the floor wrapping a cardboard box with adhesive tapes. A cat is also seen beside the woman.

At first, the cat holds the box with its paws to help its human. Then, the kitty patiently waits as its human sticks a piece of adhesive tape to the box from a roll. Once done, she shows the cat the exact place from where it needs to cut the tape, and the kitty does just that with absolute precision. The rest of the video shows the cat doing the same thing again.

Take a look at this video of the helpful cat:

“Oh I want one! I HATE doing that myself, but sometimes I’m too lazy to get a pair of scissors. This beautiful creature solves everything,” posted a Reddit user. “Mine just christens all of my customer shipments during the pre-packaging process by laying in the boxes. Haven’t had anyone complain about hair yet, but I’m sure it’s given a few people a good laugh. Or an allergic reaction,” joked another.

“The kitty is taking this ‘on the job’ experience very well. Most cats would be devastated watching boxes being sealed up and taken away, like donating a favourite toy to someone else,” added a third, referencing how cats often love to play with cardboard boxes. “Such a hard worker,” praised a fourth. “Cat’s more helpful and efficient than most people I know,” wrote a fifth.
