Cell phones ringing, people talking to loud, and audience members coming in late or leaving early are common ways for a live performance to be interrupted. One interruption that no one would saw coming occurred during a live orchestra’s performance in Istanbul. A stray cat wondered onto their stage and refused to leave.

This cat completely stole the show!

A performance was about to begin at the Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall in Instabul, Turkey when a stray cat decided to become a member of the orchestra. This concert hall is an enclosed theater, so the odds that a stray cat could wonder in and make it to the stage before being found was tiny!

This tricky cat was not going to miss this performance. He must be a fan of classical music.

The cat waited patiently as members of the orchestra started to fill the stage. The cat might be a concert crasher, but at least he is polite. As soon as they started to sit, the orchestra members started to realize there was a cat on their stage! At first they ignored the cat, probably hoping the cat would leave the stage.

This cat had different plans.

The cat was originally drawn to the bottom of one member’s black dress. The cat, totally innocently, starts to play with her dress. This brings laughter from the crowd and the orchestra.

How can anyone stay serious when such a cute cat crashes the stage?

Another member of the orchestra tries to pet the cat, but the cat is not there to get petted, he is there is wonder.

Members of the orchestra try to shoo the stray cat off the stage, but this is one resilient cat! This cat is staying right on stage, where he wants to be. The conductor decided that the show must go on, so he takes his podium. That is when the cat realizes the conductor’s podium is the best place to be.

The cat joins the conductor to rule over the orchestra. That is when everyone laughs out loud.

The conductor quickly realizes that this is going to be a unique performance and jokes with the audience by saying,

“’Is there anyone allergic to cats? I guess we gotta play like this, then.”

The orchestra starts their performance with the cat on stage. This is one performance that the audience will never forget. The cat eventually gets off the podium and starts to stare at the audience instead. It seems that the cat is more interested in the audience than the orchestra’s performance.

As the cat intensely stares, you have to wonder what he is thinking.

A member of the audience took video of the cat’s stage crashing and it quickly went viral. Many viewers, from all around the world, had a lot to say about the funny video such as,

“They should definitely make her a part of the band! I have cats that won’t even be around a vacuum let alone a whole Symphony.”

“He’s loving the Attention,and will Leave when he’s good and ready!!!”

“Omg.. look at how she runs to greet them. This is sooo cute…and she has such great taste too.”
