Security at the two-day G20 summit in Antalya, Turkey was breached on November 15 by three crafty felines, who ran around the stage smelling the flowers, literally.
The cats invaded the stage just before the customary 'family' or group photo could be taken. Reporters at the summit recorded the footage and uploaded it to social media where it is currently going viral.
The cats quickly became the main attraction at an event that is being attended by some of the world's most powerful leaders - Prime Minister Narendra Modi, American President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Russian President Vladimir Putin among them.
Twitter saw the joke instantly.
Looks like Larry the cat went along with Cameron for the G20. https://t.co/3KyfmY1Xva
