Vinicius Jr’s press conference was interrupted today when a cat jumped up onto the table.
The press officer didn’t hesitate to grab the feline and throw it off the table, much to the confusion of everybody looking on. After sitting stunned for a second, Vinicius then burst out laughing and was then joined by the unnamed official.

The Brazilian official shrugged and said ‘You’re welcome’ to the stunned onlookers. Many people have taken to Twitter to vent their outrage at the handling of the situation.
How dare you throw a cat like that you absolute cretin and then look at the audience wondering why they’re shocked at what you just did. #Brazil

That guy (probably Brazil’s press officer) who threw the cat like a rag doll is a douchebag! https://t.co/XWEbVgB8DH
