Cats invade the stage at G20 Summit
Cats onstage at the G20 Summit
The cats sniffed some flowers and trotted off the stage, apparently unimpressed.

Feline trio steals the limelight from world leaders

Three cats managed to evade security and stroll onto the stage at the G20 Summit in Turkey last week.

After trotting around the stage and sniffing a few flowers, the furry intruders left, apparently unimpressed. But their brief appearance throughly upstaged leaders of the world's major economies.

Videos captured by journalists have been shared widely online. One Twitter user wrote: 'Yes, Obama and Putin met, but did you see the cats?', while another said: 'A meeting of the world's most powerful leaders, the G20. Invaded by cats. Marvellous'.

The trio provided welcome comic relief in between serious talks at the summit, which brought together leaders of the world's 20 major economies.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
