A cat made a dramatic entrance during a performance of Romeo and Juliet in Turkey, wandering on stage during the ballet's final scene.
The feline gatecrasher appeared during a performance by the Imperial Russian Ballet Company in Izmir on Wednesday.
Video from the show captures the cat clawing at Romeo’s hair as he lies dead on stage, while Juliet grieves over the loss of her lover.
The dancers carried on with the performance as the cat explored the stage, before later climbing on top of one of the props.
The unexpected cameo gave the tragic love story a comic twist, with the cat proving that even Romeo and Juliet can survive a little bit of scene-stealing.
