This is the horrifying moment a rat scurried from a underneath a Christmas tree, sending a family into panic mode and reaching for an air rifle.
The family had been enjoying an evening in their living room when they spotted something moving in the tree, shaking the festive lights and decorations.
Suddenly, the brown-gray rodent appeared from beneath the branches, and made a break for it across the living room floor and towards the family's kitchen.
As screams filled the room, footage of the surprise encounter - thought to have been captured in the US and posted to TikTok - showed the family's cat chasing after the rat - and very nearly catching it in its claws.

In the video, the parents of the family can be heard cheering their pet on, and the near-miss encounter was enough to deter the rat from venturing any further into the house.
Narrowly escaping the cat's clutches, the rodent turned around and shot back towards the safe haven of the Christmas tree, running up its trunk.
Zooming up-close to the tree, video filmed by the family showed the rat hidden amongst the branches of the tree, presumable thinking itself safe.
But the family had different ideas with footage showing the parents going on the offensive and arming themselves with weapons to tackle the invasive rodent.
