Kitten hijacks Turkish TV show

It's not the first time stray cats have wandered into the spotlight in Turkey - last year three strays sauntered across the main stage of the G20 summit. (stock photo)

Stray cat adopted after sneaking into studio

A stray kitten has found internet fame and a new home after sneaking onto the set of a live TV show in Turkey.

The young cat hopped up onto the presenter's desk and strolled across his pile of newspapers, seemingly demanding attention, before curling up on a laptop.

Newsreader Kudret Çelebioǧlu carried on with the segment for 'Good Morning Denizli', which is shown on the DRT television station.

According to media reports, he told viewers they should try to help the country's stray animals this winter by trying to offer food and shelter.

He has reportedly been named 'Husnu' by the television station and adopted by a member of staff.

It's not the first time stray cats have wandered into the spotlight in Turkey - last year three strays sauntered across the main stage of the G20 summit, just moments before world leaders were due to make an appearance.
