People praised the journalist for her professionalism unfazed by the cat. (Source: LarissaAounSky/ Twitter)In a heart-warming incident, a journalist was interrupted by an adorable cat while she was giving a piece to camera from the streets of Beirut in Lebanon.
Sky News Arabia’s senior reporter Larissa Aoun was giving an important update about the Beirut Port blast investigation, when the kitten decided to play with a belt from her coat.
Even though the feline kept playing with the belt, Aoun continued to talk on camera. It was only after her piece to camera was over that the journalist reacted to the furry intruder.
“My most loyal follower,” Aoun wrote on Twitter while sharing the behind the scene video.

The adorable video offered a lighter moment amid the serious reporting. As one dubbed it as interruption, Auon replied saying: “Actually Entertained more than interrupted”.
And as many couldn’t stop gushing over the kitten, Auon shared another video of her “loyal follower”, who came back again for the afternoon news update.
