Why live shots and animals don’t mix

By Cory Bergman 

WJW’s Kathleen Cochrane admits she’s not a cat person, and she paid the consequences on live TV when the cat she was holding decided to attack her head. In the old days, TV stations tried to pretend bloopers like these never happened. But kudos to WJW’s website MyFoxCleveland for posting the video, a story and even a blog post from Cochrane on the encounter. “I was obviously shocked and dropped the cat and stared at the camera, like a deer in headlights,” Cochrane blogged. “Then, before they rolled my story, I started to laugh. That was a laugh, not a cry!” Of course, the video is also on YouTube, which is how I found it after a friend sent me the link. (Thanks, Justin!)
