【Ireland】

The Irelandnews is very bad, but this cat is very good.

Dutch news show Nieuwsuurwas interviewing Polish academic Jerzy Targalski about the controversial forced removal of Poland's top Supreme Court judge when Targalski's cat Lisio demanded a moment in the spotlight.

Targalski didn't even paws (sorry) as Lisio crawled up his arm, perching on his human's shoulder and grooming Targalski's ear. When the pesky scene-stealer blocked Targalski's eyes with his tail, Targalski just kept talking about the serious subject matter and held the cat's tail down.

This isn't the first time Lisio and Targalski's other cat, a more chill black kitty, have forced their way in front of television cameras. In an interview with Polish public broadcaster Telewizja Republika earlier this month, Lisio makes a more subtle appearance by sneaking behind Targalski for a nap.

If this cat isn't given an hour on CNN primetime after Anderson Cooper, something is very wrong.
