A professor was giving a TV interview about Polish politics. His cat didn’t care.

Targalski was speaking with a journalist from the Dutch public television station Nieuwsuur to weigh in on “the controversial forced removal of Polish top judge Malgorzata Gersdorf” by the country’s ruling conservative party, according to NTR reporter Rudy Bouma. Partway through the taping, his orange tabby began pawing and mewing at Targalski’s right side. The cat then scaled up the professor’s arm like a personal Everest.

“Eh — we tolerate this?” Targalski asked. It was both a question and an apologetic statement, directed more to the camera crew and less to the cat, who by this point was already upon his neck.

The Polish historian & political scientist Jerzy Targalski remained completely unruffled during our interview when this happened.

Someone from behind the camera made a sound. Targalski smiled and pressed on, with the resignation of a man who has shared his home with a cat and thus knows his place in the feline-human order.

...

As Targalski continued the interview, his cat nuzzled his ear, used his shoulders to get a closer look at a chandelier above and, at one point, curled its tail across Targalski’s face, covering his eyes. The political scientist, who earned his PhD with a thesis titled “Mechanisms of dismantling communism in Yugoslavia on the example of Slovenia and Serbia (1986-1991),” simply brushed the cat’s tail away and held it down for several moments to the side of his head

Driving today. A very white cat in rear window of another car was putting on an amazing cat show. Total ham knew it had an audience.

A cat?

Sorry, that does not trump the toddler and baby that crashed a interview.

So funny the way he just took it in stride. My first cat ever, George, used to climb up onto my shoulders and head. I miss that guy.
