Video: Cat interupts TV news reporters first day, handles it like a pro

Cat attack! This US TV reporter had a bit of an unexpected surprise when she was pounced upon by an adventurous kitty cat live on TV.

Nicole DiDonato, who was on her first assingnment for Fox-17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was interupted by a pouncing stray who wanted in on the action.

The young grey feline decided to crawl the junior reporter's back and onto her shoulder.

However, DiDonato handled it well and managed to keep it together. She revealed on Twitter that she had made eye contact with the cat just before starting the report. So the cheeky creature must have assumed it was playtime.

Watch the video below.

@Tomhillen @amanda_woodtv @sarahbrodhead Learned my lesson: Never making eye contact with a cat before a live tease ever again #catlady
