"I'm Scott Madaus, live in Hernando, Mississippi where there have been spottings of a cougar," the man said into the camera. "And that's not it, that looks like a house cat," he continued as the shot panned to a very normal cat, and stayed on it for the remainder of the recording.

On the screen, the chyron reads: "LARGE CAT SPOTTED."

The news team's use of the random cat in the field was instant comedic gold, and the clip quickly spread on Twitter, where it received over 30,000 retweets.

Madaus shared the clip to his Facebook page, where he said he was surprised by the internet's reaction to the clip.

"Not really sure how my live tease made social media let alone international social media. But here you go if you didn't catch it," he wrote.

While Madaus admits the cat shot was planned, the perfect delivery and camera pan made the clip an instant classic.

Never change, local news.
