Well, they do call it a catwalk, after all.
But that did little to diminish the surprise when, in the middle of a recent fashion show in Turkey, a real cat decided to take the stage – and stole both the spotlight and everyone’s heart by force.

People in the fashion industry may be notoriously hard to impress, but attendees at the Esmod International Fashion Show, held in Istanbul this week, didn’t see this one coming. It seems the random cat’s arrival on the runway captured the crowd’s attention more than the clothes on display.
“Everybody was in shock,” fashion designer Göksen Hakkı Ali said.
It’s unclear where the cat came from, but her motives were pretty obvious – she wanted all the attention and admiration from the public. And judging by her adorable little attacks on the models passing by, those weren’t things she was willing to share.
Here’s a video of the runway cat in action:
Sure, the rambunctious kitty may need to tone down her cattiness on stage, but she’s definitely got the runway strut down pat. When asked if the aspiring model feline could have a future in the fashion industry, Hakkı Ali admitted that it can’t be ruled out.
“Haha, maybe,” she said. “Why not?”
Talent like that is certainly hard to pass up.
