You could call it a cat slap, or you could call it a p*esklap.

Either way, Turkish journalist Huseyin Ozkok was on the receiving end of one during a live TV broadcast and footage of the action has gone viral on social media.

This is certainly a first for the veteran journalist, who did his best to laugh off the unfriendly feline.

Per WION, Ozkok explained that he was a guest in the house where the cat lived when the anchor asked him if he brought the cat.

The cat clearly didn’t vibe with his energy, and decided to take it out on him during the critical moment on sports channel A Spor :

Ozkok leaned into the moment, posting a snippet to Instagram with the caption: ”Today’s broadcast on @ceylancigdem with #aspor was very unusual. My friend’s cat, named Oli, gave me a right hook during the broadcast.”

Quite the cat-astrophe, hey?
