An inquisitive cat saw one of its nine lives pass before it on Wednesday after gate-crashing Brazil's World Cup press conference on Thursday.
The samba stars are preparing to face Croatia in their quarter-final clash on Friday and sent out Real Madrid ace Vinicius Jnr. to face the amassed media in the run-up to the match. His press conference appearance was interrupted by the arrival of a furry feline, which showed expert balance to jump onto the media table for a better look at the Champions League winner.
But as reported by the Mirror, after initially receiving a welcome stroke from Brazil's press officer, things took a sinister turn when he removed the cat by pulling it up by its back hair and chucking it away like Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson would start another attack.
