"And that's not it, that looks like a house cat," he continued as the shot panned to a very normal cat, and stayed on it for the remainder of the recording.
On the screen, the chyron reads: "LARGE CAT SPOTTED."
The news team's use of the random cat in the field was instant comedic gold, and the clip quickly spread on Twitter, where it received over 30,000 retweets.

"Not really sure how my live tease made social media let alone international social media. But here you go if you didn't catch it," he wrote.
While Madaus admits the cat shot was planned, the perfect delivery and camera pan made the clip an instant classic.
