The Way This Polish Academic ‘Reacts’ When Cat Interrupts His Serious Interview Amuses The Internet
No cat owner chooses the time they spend with their pet. The cat does. So when it finally rewards them with some affection, they try to remain as calm as possible, prolonging the rare experience. Even if they’re doing a serious TV interview.
Recently, Dr. Jerzy Targalski, a Polish academic was speaking on a Dutch current affairs show on NTR about Poland’s Supreme Court crisis. The country’s government is facing a backlash after reducing the age of retirement from 70 to 65, meaning about 40% of the judges face being booted out. Targalski’s ginger kitty, called Lisio, had been chilling on the table next to him.
After a while, however, Lisio decided it needed some airtime. It jumped on its human while the cameras were still rolling. Targalski’s only reaction? Swiping his cat’s tail from in front of his eyes as he spoke. The moment didn’t make the final cut, but Rudy Bouma, the journalist who was speaking with the academic, uploaded it to Twitter. Scroll down to watch the pawsome video!

Share on FacebookI don't know what's better, how much the cat clearly loves him or how he doesn't even skip a beat and remains professional the entire time.
Yeah he acts like it's a butterfly fluttering on his head! Cracks me up cuz that cat is totally owning the moment like cats do.

Anyone else notice the portrait of a cat dressed as a prince in the background. This guy is a true cat lover
I can't understand why he didint just throw the cat out instead of trying continuously be elegant and consider the cat as a landscape element ...:)
It reminded me of that English gentleman's interview where the children come in and the mother crawls after them to take them out. Very funny.
I was talking to a police officer when my cat Toby jump on his shoulder and started licking his cheek I took him down told the cop I was sorry and he said that ok, he's backing the badge,
The cat probably had done that many times before, and it simply didn’t realize it was being taped this time for all to see; the interviewee basically was doing what he had done before when the cat did that in the past (is my guess). Nice to see, nonetheless
