In what feels like a skit, a Pakistani politician forgot to turn off a cat filter during a Facebook Live press conference.

While KPK Information Minister Yousuf Shaukat Zai was giving a press conference and live streaming it on Facebook Live, a cat filter was turned on momentarily giving him some whiskers and cat ears.

This was captured by viewers who got a good light-hearted laugh out of the transformation.

While potentially embarrassing, sbs.com.au noted that officials quickly tweeted out a statement regarding the filter and chalked it up to simply being "human error".

While seeing pictures of this mishap, I remembered a recent Saturday Night Live skit titled "War Zone Reporter", which included the hilarious use of accidental Snapchat filters and can be watched below.
