Have you ever been photo-bombed? Maybe you\u2019ve been a photo-bomber? A photo-bomb is when someone unexpectedly appears within the camera\u2019s field of vision when a photo is being taken. Sometimes the photographer doesn\u2019t even notice the photo-bomber until he reviews the results of his photo later\u2014like the time a flying fish appeared in a picture I\u2019d taken of a tugboat.<\/p>\n
Well, cats can be great photo-bombers. There are hundreds of incidents in videos and even ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MaxLilytandem-225x300.jpg\")
news casts when a cat suddenly appears or a cat that\u2019s being video taped does something unexpected. Oh yes, they can be quite the little scene stealer. Why is this? Well, cats are attracted to activity, especially if they\u2019re bored. And if a human is talking, a cat often thinks he\u2019s talking to him.<\/p>\n
When I used to interview people for articles or give phone interviews as an expert on the topic, or to promote my books, I would always close my office door. Otherwise, the resident cat would hear me talking and wander in to see what I was doing, who I was talking to.

terms. Unless I\u2019m talking to a fellow cat-lover, I try to maintain a semblance of professionalism when I\u2019m being interviewed and that doesn\u2019t include hearing a cat in the background giving his two cents. It\u2019s bad enough having a bored cat join you in your office and sit on the very document you\u2019re using at the time.<\/p>\n
