Work from home: When you get upstaged by a cat wearing a sunflower

TMZ's Michael Babcock regularly joins FOX 13 with entertainment updates, but they aren't often this entertaining. His cat Blue provided some comic relief Friday.

The flowery feline is recovering from an injury, he explained, resulting in the stylish accessory.

A cat in a sunflower would upstage ANYTHING in my book.

They say never work with animals, but a cat in a sunflower collar is right off the scale. 😂😂 😂

I’m guessing that about 99% of the audience would rather see a cat with a sunflower e-collar than anything on the royals. 🤣

The meow in 0:47 did it for me. It was literally "Notice me."

This was 3 years ago. After all the funny "report from home" cat intrusion news videos I've seen, I'm surprised that I'm just now seeing this one. It was adorable! 😸🌻

Best looking cat e-collar I've ever seen.

CAT - You see what I have to wear America!

My cat was a toast after her surgery. 😂 (soft toast collar) This is the funniest video ever! I love it so much. 😂

[janeentumbao]

Cat to human: You made me wear this silly thing and embarrassed me! Now, I embarrass you! 😂😂😂😂😂

[destinytaylor]

Omg I didn't even know that "sunflower" was an option! I love it!

[TarotMage]

Bonus points at 0:35 for the tail at the bottom of the screen. 🤣

[KamiMalzahn]

The color of the cat’s head matches the base of an actual sunflower! He really looks like an actual sunflower! 🌻🌻🌻
And also I feel pity for him because of his little cut in his ear. 😢😢😢

I love how the most professional program host or interviewers get all smiley and giggly like little school kids when they see a cute pet approach the camera.

[Mmdmade]

I love the reporters reaction “bless his heart” “tell him We love him”. You’ve got the owner laughing at him understandably and the reporter empathizing. 😂

[tasha]

😂😂😂 Whether it’s a cat, a baby, or a dog, whenever they walk into the “very important interview”, it’s always hilarious and it forever goes down in history from the Covid-19 “hashtag working from home” era haha 😂😂🤣🤣

[EchoRumple]

Instead of a pet wearing the cone of shame, this cat is wearing the cone of FABULOUS 😻

[sarnaseven]

Why am I only seeing this now? His brown face match perfectly with the yellow petals, I love this collar 😂

[curiousnerdkitteh]

Cat: 'scuse me, I have my public to interact with on the news.

[Marco_El_Afro-Latino]

I love how the cat lurks in the corner at the end. The meow sign off was purrfect

[taralown]

Cats always know where the camera is Lolo
