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.

DAERA to reduce BVD 'grace period'

DAERA has reminded herd keepers of an upcoming reduction to the 'grace period' to avoid BVD herd restrictions.

From 1 May 2025, herd keepers will have seven days to cull any BVD positive or inconclusive animals to avoid restrictions being applied to their herd.

It follows legislation introduced on 1 February, as DAERA introduces herd movement restrictions through a phased approach. Herd keepers originally had 28 days to cull BVD positive or inconclusive animals.

DAERA says that, providing herd keepers use the seven-day grace period, no herds should be restricted within the first year of these measures.

Additional measures, which will target herds with animals over 30 days old that haven't been tested for BVD, will be introduced from 1 June 2025.

More information is available on the DAERA website.
