As Nils Usakovs, the mayor of Latvia's capital, Riga, was talking Sunday, a fluffy black-and-white cat named Dumka walked into the shot and calmly took sips out of Usakovs' mug, before getting spooked and jumping off the desk as Usakovs made a halfhearted attempt to swat it away while chuckling.
The mayor is not shy about his love of cats, and has incorporated them into the town's official tourism campaign.
