- Last weekend, Polish historian Jerzy Targalski was being interviewed on Dutch news show "Nieuwsuur."
- During the live interview Targalski’s cat, Lisio, crawled up his arm and onto his head where he remained for the rest of the newscast.
- Targalski carried on with the interview without skipping a beat and even held Lisio’s tail after it covered his eyes.
It’s a universally acknowledged truth that cats have no regard for personal space. And as Polish historian Jerzy Targalski learned recently, even a TV interview won’t stop cats from climbing whatever and whomever they please.
Last weekend, a video surfaced on Twitter of Targalski being interviewed by Dutch news show, "Nieuwsuur," about the forced removal of Poland’s top Supreme Court judge, when suddenly his cat, Lisio, decided to steal the show.

As Targalski talked about Polish history, Lisio climbed up his arm and onto his head and shoulders. Amazingly, Targalski was unfazed by his cat, even moving Lisio’s tail out of his way when it covered his eyes.
Unfortunately for the world, Targalski’s interview was pre-taped so the footage of Lisio crawling up his arm never actually aired on TV. But the moment was so good that "Niewsuur" reporter Rudy Bouma tweeted the clip to show the world Targalski’s expert interviewing skills.
Targalski deserves some sort of award for continuing as smoothly as he did even with a cat tail in his face. And honestly, Lisio also deserves a treat for being a very good boy.
