The adorable group of eight felines almost jumped out of their fur when their mother, attempting to spring up onto a window sill, fell back down.

The kittens scattered at surprising speed – underneath a chest of drawers and a bed – as they’re shocked by the commotion.

The video was uploaded on YouTube under the title ‘Epic fall’ and has already garnered over 160,000 hits.

Looked to me like she was trying to get away from them pestering her.

Mission accomplished, mom.

She has EIGHT! My goodness, I hope they all find good for-ever homes. (And gets herself off to the vet, now that she knows what causes it.)

I would be too weak to jump too if I spent all day having eight sharp toothed kittens chewing on my nipples.

You didn’t say they were YELLOW tabbies. Those are the best kind!

Mother looks to be at least half Maine Coon. It is possible that these are purebred Maine Coon babies, but they don’t have tremendous coat. So, this may be a planned litter of Maine Coon babies, although they do not appear to be very well bred or possibly all Coon.
