German "studio cat"

[Prairie Purrs]

Even if (like me) you don't understand German, this video of a TV weatherman who was visited by the "studio cat" during a broadcast is adorable! :love:

He talks about the weather- and then he says "Oh this is the studio cat who comes in although he shouldn't ;) I think I keep him here :)" and then he continues with the weather ;)

[Bengalz]

Gorgeous weather assistant - wonderful how the Europeans understand that pets are family :D:D

[Kirsten]

OMG, this cracks me up! LOL

I would never have expected to see Mr. Joerg Kachelmann here at PT! :D

And cuddles the kitty for the duration of the forecast! Watch his fingers as he scratches kitty's neck!

I am left with only one question...how's the weather?

[Kirsten]

Cold!!!

That is SO cute! Every weather presenter should have a kitty help him. :D

I had to watch it a few times, fisrst to see what the kitty was doing, and then to concentrate on the German language. ;)

It's quite a bit colder down there, compered to Denmark, but then, it's always warmer by the coast. :)

Randi, here in my area, it was about minus 20°C some nights ago...

Smart kitty--looking for warm snuggles on a cold day!

I think this proves that you can never be too busy to pet the cat! :D

[Kirsten]

Well, and at the end of his speech, Mr. Kachelmann says something like "It's getting colder, I hope all cats have a warm coat now".

Ans sad to say outside the Found Cat Hotel, the food shelter are snow bound. I will have to move them in closer to the front door where it will be easier to keep the snow away.
Thats a great clip, and that Cat should become a regular, he certainly would boost the ratings!!!!:):):):)

[Edwina's Secretary]

Fun to watch again and again! This time I saw the cat's tail as it walks behind him before it circles and he picks it up! :D:D

[momcat]

What a great video!!!! I took German in college but was only able to catch a few words. Kirsten, thank you for your translations. It looks as if that station has a wonderful new star. The love shown to the kitty was wonderful to see. I hope the kitty will soon become a "regular" on the broadcast!

[phesina]

Awwwwww... that's so nice!. Not only that the studio cat came onto the set, but that he picked it up and cuddled it through the rest of the weather report.

I can just see something like that happening in a weather report here! If a cat ever did manage to get into the studio and wander onto the set, the meteorologist might pick it up, but then he or she would probably make some little cutesy smart-a$s comment and then hand the cat off to a stagehand.

Mr. Kachelmann looked like he was really enjoying holding the cat and giving it some attention it liked as he continued with his forecast. And it was so cute the times he and the cat rubbed chins with each other!

Barbara and Kirsten, is that area he is reporting on anywhere near where either of you live?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Awwwww, how sweet is that!!:love:

Here in SoCal the clothes on the weather readers tend to be so tight they would bust if they tried to bend over and pick up anything!

LMAO!! Funny, but very true. :D

[cassiesmom]

It's colder in Germany than it is here! I took German in high school and college, so I watched a few times to get the forecast and to try and figure out what the meteorologist was saying! I love the very beginning where you see just the tip of the cat's tail at the bottom of the picture. Like Hello, I am going to be on television right now. And the cat is so calm -- it looks like he is comfortable being held and snuggled as the man talks. Great video! What fun!

[Barbara]

Barbara and Kirsten, is that area he is reporting on anywhere near where either of you live?

Very roughly: Kirsten is in the North, I am in the South- and that area was in the West (close to where I come from originally :)). The weather where Kirsten is is even colder right now- look at her fantastic pictures in General and here it was about the same as it was in the forecast and is colder now as well- but don't forget- it's all in Celsius ;)

[Medusa]

So not only does he get attention at the studio but he gets his 15 minutes of fame, too. What a cushy gig for that kitty! :)

[lvpets2002]

:love: Aweee thats just too Cute & Sweet.. Smart Cat = this baby knew how to get Attention & to get on TV..

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

What a wonderful weatherman! And the kitty is so content just to sit in his arms and have his neck scratched throughout the whole segment.

I'd love to watch this on my newscast!

[Killearn Kitties]

What a lovely clip! :D We would all be so busy watching the kitty that we would have no idea what the weather was going to be like for the next few days.

[momcat]

Amen to that!!!!!!!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

Amen to that!!!!!!!!!
Is it a bit chilly where you are right now? :D

[Kirsten]

Had to smile yesterday when I saw Mr. Kachelmann in a tv commercial for yoghurt. :) He's actually Germany's most famous weatherman, but I had no idea he has a heart for kitties. :)

[RICHARD]

IT'S A WEATHER FUR-CAST!!

I can't believe none of you made that joke yet!;)

Most of the So Cal weather readers would not be able to stand back up because of their boobs.
The men are just boobs.

[lvpets2002]

:p LoL Cute one Richard

I think we should adopt Mr. Kachelmann as PT's Favorite Weather Fur-caster (thanks, Richard!). :D

Good idea! He seems to be a cat lover :D

[RICHARD]

I couldn't tell if it was raining "cats and dogs" that day?:eek::rolleyes:

I'll stop now.:D

[lvpets2002]

:) Hey I will have you to know I do have a umbrella with Raining Cats & Dogs all over it..:D

[Nomilynn]

I love how you can hear the purring when he first picks it up and Kitty is over his mic.. so sweet! :)

[momcat]

Is it a bit chilly where you are right now? :D

It's not too bad right now, in the low 30 degree range but we're expecting temperatures in the single digits within the next two days or so. How is it where you are?

[catmandu]

Sad to say the story behing raining Cats and Dogs is a sad one,:eek: as when a rainstorm hit in the old days they were no sewers and many times the Dogs and Cats would drown and it almost seemed as though they had come from the sky above.:eek:
That weatherman must know the Studio Cat well to be brave enough to pick him up on air, that would be embarrasing if that Katze dint cooperate, and painful as well!!!!:):)

[Killearn Kitties]

I think we are probably similar, frosty overnight, but pleasant sunny days for the most part. Certainly a lot warmer than it was in Germany when this clip was filmed!
