Me-ow! The fashion world is so catty.

At a runway show for French fashion and business school Esmod International last week, an attention-hungry kitty prowled its way right onto the catwalk. There, the furry interloper sat down and casually licked the underside of its tail before strutting to the thumping techno music like a pro.

The cat’s antics at the event, which took place in Istanbul, were captured in a now-viral video. Istanbul’s sizable stray-cat population is widely embraced as part of the city’s vibrant culture.

The runway models, who stifled a few smiles as the spotlight-stealing feline batted at their hemlines and ankles, appeared otherwise un-purr-terbed.
