The original footage of the squirrel was uploaded to YouTube as ''Squirrel Owned By Rat Trap!'' by goodvidsable on January 11, 2012. It starts with some introductory text, saying that the creator of the video was dealing with a rodent problem in their bedroom and therefore eventually bought a rattrap to deal with the problem. However, the trap ended up being mysteriously sprung with no catch, so the creator decided to install a video camera in the closet to see what's going on. | The original footage of the squirrel was uploaded to YouTube as ''Squirrel Owned By Rat Trap!'' by goodvidsable on January 11, 2012.
