Cat Walks on Stage during Performance of Romeo and Juliet

The Guardian reports that during a recent staging of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, an orange cat (it's always the orange ones) wandered on stage, seeking attention from the actors playing the lead roles. Given the physical actions on stage, I think it's during Act 5, Scene 3 in which the star-crossed lovers die. To his credit, the actor who played Romeo remained still after death (the character, not the actor) even as the cat played with his hair.

At the conclusion of this performance in Izmir, Turkey, the cast from the Imperial Russian Ballet Company came on stage to make their bows. The cat joined them.
