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.

Students in their clinical years of study have until 28 February to apply for the placement, which takes place at the VMD's offices in Addlestone, Surrey, from 6-10 July 2026.

Through a mixture of lectures and workshops, the placement will explore how veterinary medicines are authorised, non-clinical career opportunities, and other important aspects of the VMD's work.

RCVS members invited to question Council candidates

RCVS members have been invited to submit questions to candidates for this year's RCVS Council election.

With 15 candidates standing for three available positions, vets have been invited to submit a question of their choosing before voting starts. These questions will be collated, with each candidate answering one question of their choice.

It is recommended that members read the candidates' biographies and statements before submitting questions. One question per member can be submitted to vetvote26@rcvs.org.uk before Wednesday, 25 February 2026.

The RCVS Council election is due to start in March.

With only two candidates for two positions on the VN Council, there will be no VN Council elections this year. Meghan Conroy RVN and Lauren Hargrave RVN will begin their three year terms at RCVS' AGM in July.
