A hungry stray cat hit a seafood jackpot when it managed to sneak into the fish counter of an airport delicatessen in eastern Russia.

Surveillance footage captures the tabby tearing open packages and munching on seafood delicacies like squid and octopus, according to the BBC report. Store management says the remaining contents of the fish counter had to be discarded, which was worth approximately $1,000.

Airport management says that the cat is a local stray that has wandered into the airport before. This is the first time the cat has been bold enough to break into the deli.

The video of the cat noshing its way through the seafood counter has gone viral, with over 1 million views on YouTube.

The cat has not been seen since the incident.
