Erica was enjoying a bath alone when her bunny tried to join her and he jumped over a Squatty Potty then onto the edge of the tub before eventually launching himself into the air towards the bath. 

In the video that Erica was filming you can hear her say 'I can't' as she watches the rabbit jump through obstacles to try to get in with her. 

At the very last second when he jumps into the air she manages to catch him perfectly with one hand.

This wasn't the first try for Tokki either and he tried to jump in multiple times, Erica said in her caption. 

'I'm just trying to take a bath and my rabbit keeps trying to jump in the tub,' she wrote on Twitter and people were so obsessed with the video, it instantly got millions of views and thousands of comments, mostly of people saying how cute he is.

Shock: People took to twitter to say how impressed they were that she managed to catch him

'When your mama's trying to take a bath but you're clingy as heck,' she captioned the Instagram video.

While another person admitted, 'I feel like this is exactly what would happen if I let my bunny into the bathroom while I'm taking a bath. Plot twist though, I can't catch him with one hand.'

Many people made sure to acknowledge how good Erica's catch was as one person wrote, 'Hahah omg this is hilarious! Good catch too!'

While one user shared, 'Do you know how happy I am that you caught it' and another wrote, 'I'm more impressed she caught it mid air haha.'

Meanwhile what many people didn't know was that water can actually harm bunnies because they're very sensitive to temperature change and they could go into shock if in water.

Some users who are also rabbit owners knew about this and expressed their concerns as one person wrote, 'I'm so confused by this rabbit.'

'I mean there are some very rare and I mean super rare cases where a rabbit does like water but yes this is indeed interesting behavior,' said another user.

In response to the people trying to correct Erica and Tokki on not knowing about the dangers of water one user wrote, 'I think baby bun doesn't realize there's water. Just wants to cuddle his mama.'
