It’s been over a year since political analyst Robert Kelly had his live BBC interview interrupted by his young children bursting into the room, so it’s high time we had a sequel. Get ready for: a cat.

Polish academic and anti-communist activist Dr Jerzy Targalski had his interview with Dutch broadcaster NTR interrupted in style when his cat decided he needed a bit of attention.

The interview – which was supposed to be a serious discussion on the rising political tension in Poland – became something else altogether with Jerzy’s cat, Lisio jumped onto his owner’s shoulders.

Lisio surveyed the room from his perch on Jerzy’s shoulders before settling down to groom the his ears.

While Jerzy initially struggled to keep a smile from his face, he settled back into the interview quickly, continuing to make his point.

He paused only briefly, to remove the ginger cat’s tail from in front of his face, before carrying on.

Dutch journalist Rudy Bouma shared the video to twitter, saying “De Poolse historicus & politicoloog Jerzy Targalski is onverstoorbaar” which translates as “The Polish historian and political scientist Jerzy Targalski is unperturbed.”

It’s not the first time the cat has stepped in on one of Jerzy’s interviews – apparently he’s made frequent appearances on Polish network Republika.

The interview comes amid political upheaval in Poland, after the government introduced legislation to lower the retirement age for supreme court judges to 65.

The move is widely seen as a deliberate purging by the government, and has been condemned by the European Union.
