This just in! Cats will interrupt anything a person is doing when they decide they’re ready for some attention. And that’s just what stray cat Frajola did to TV Paraíba correspondent Artur Lira as he tried his best to deliver a serious report regarding crime and arrest in Campina Grande, Paraiba, a state of Brazil. Check out the moment Frajola the cat crashed Artur’s report and then proceeded to redirect the scene to his cuteness. Artur couldn’t help but laugh at Frajola’s invasion, and he also couldn’t help falling for the funny feline! And that created the best news of all; once the segment wrapped, Frajola decided he’d be joining Artur’s family and that his forever home would be with Artur’s Aunt Neide.

But twice now, two orange and white cats have stolen her heart, and she couldn’t leave the shelter without them. First, it was Mr. Beesley, a wobbly boy with cerebellar hypoplasia.
