“I Apologize For My Cat’s Tail”: Scottish MP Goes Viral After His Cat Photobombs A Zoom Meeting
If there’s one thing to love about Zoom meetings, it’s the hilarious interruptions that happen every once in a while. This week, a Scottish member of parliament gained internet fame after his cat Rojo photobombed a virtual meeting.
John Nicolson, a parliament member for Ochil & South Perthshire, was speaking about the advantages of putting subtitles on children’s television when he was suddenly interrupted by his cat’s tail waving across the screen.

“I apologize for my cat’s tail,” the lawmaker told his colleagues as Rojo casually walked in front of the camera. The others in the meeting started to laugh while John Nicolson was trying hard to keep his composure after his cat stole the spotlight.

The laughter continued as Rojo seemingly refused to step out of the view of the camera. “Rojo, put your tail down, please,” John then told his ginger four-legged friend, much to the amusement of his colleagues.
The video almost instantly went viral

Eventually, Rojo let the humans continue their virtual meeting of the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee and moved on, while the video of it almost instantly went viral.
And the Scottish MP was thrilled about Rojo’s newfound fame

Following the now-viral meeting, John Nicolson couldn’t help but boast about Rojo’s newfound international fame and tweeted: “For all Rojo’s new fans (thousands across the world it seems) – you’ve seen the tail. Here’s the face.”

Adorable.... but also it never occurred to me that putting on CC would increase literacy in children. Maybe we can get more info to go viral is we add cute cat content.

I don't know about children, but I always watch movies with subtitles. English isn't my first language and sometimes actors are hard to understand when they whisper or shout. Plus it helps with memorizing the correct spelling. Pot player has this useful feature when you pause and click on a word from the subtitles it googles it.

I have a cat, and she has insisted on appearing in a few of my Zoom meetings. One of my friends has a conure (a small parrot) that nearly always sits on her head when she does video conferencing.

Knowing cats, he's lucky Rojo only showed his tail and not his butt!

Politicians with pets are much better humans than those without, IF they treat then well. For instance, putting the dog in the dog carrier on top of the car is not okay.

Trump is the first president since James K. Polk to not have a presidential pet while in office.

This made me smile :) . I think the CC is a great idea. When i was young i never liked the captions being on-they got in the way, Now, i never turn them off.

I do agree with the subtitle but as it's important and very convenient too at times when you must watch quietly or missed what someone said

My cat sat over the mic on several calls purring. Great way to keep a call mellow.
