- A member of the UK parliament’s cat interrupted a live virtual committee meeting on Tuesday, prompting laughter from others on the call.
John Nicolson was speaking during a meeting of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, asking about the use of subtitles on children’s TV, when his contribution became itself worthy of children’s TV as a fluffy ginger tail popped up before him.
“I apologize for my cat’s tail,” Nicolson says in the video, before making a memorable appeal to the cat: “Rocco, put your tail down.”

Rocco: *If you're not gonna introduce me, I will.*
Cats like i'm the UK LEADER OF ROYALTY now you serve me.
Why do you have so many likes but just one reply?
@@brilliance381 rocco be like um hello ppl😂😂😂😂
Rocco be like : *Let me introduce myself.*
I read his name as Racoon
When you're trying to be a serious politician but your cat has other plans.
Cats keep us humble.
@@daorignaldumbucket no, they make sure we don't step out of line.
That cat was like "shut up Meg!"
Rocco's tail-antics have managed to get this "CAPTIONS INCREASE CHILDREN'S LITERACY" point across to a much wider audience! And for free!
Thanks, Rocco!
🤣🤣🤣
He was so polite about it too 😂 "I apologise for my cat's tail.......Rocco put your tail down please." 😂😂
I didn’t hear the please because of the laughter 😂
I think I'm stuck on a permanent trek of _"animals interrupting interviews"_ 🤣
😂😂😂 So funny 😂😂
British people always seem polite.
(Unless they're invading your country ofc) 😂
Rocco’s contribution to the children’s education could not be understated
Good li'l Rocco! ❤
Rocco: I've just groomed my tail wanna see?
The people: YES
It doesn't matter what you wear just as long as you are there.
This is my favorite comment, I wish I could like it more than once
Best comment!
lol! 🤣
*YES*

I can see this comment
I'm french and i red this comment with a very very french accent which makes it even more funny

He is truly a kind man. The way he treats Rocco says it all.

Totally…politely asking Rocco to move …😅😅😅
I love how he talks to Rocco as if the cat is a Member of Parliament. 🤣
It's just incredible how a cat, showing just a litte bit of his tail, can enlive our day.

Are we Catophiles?
@@whatsgood6440 There's scientific proof that they alter human behavioural patterns through changes to the human brain (confirmed by CAT scans), which classifies them as symbiotic parasites. They are nature's perfect creation, for they rule the planet's apex predator (humankind) by the twitch of the tips of their tails. They are our most adorable masters.

Both my stepkids are self taught early readers, both reading in the months before starting primary school and I believe 100% it's due to captions - especially video games. Watching each other play, or their parents, or themselves...esp. for Pokemon. Very motivating. The more print/text you are exposed to in your environment as a young child, the more easily you pick it up as a language.
Honestly is impressive the amount of things that you can learn if it's interesting enough for you
I played Pokemon a lot as a kid, and although I was already a strong reader, I'm certain it helped retain that.
I’m a child of the 1980’s before all the video game systems were in virtually every house. I turned on my record player with a stack of stories “that you can read along with me in your book. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the chimes ring like this…” except when I turned on the Star Wars books then you would hear R2-D2 beep like this… Good times!! 🙃
Definitely! I got a GameCube when I was little and there was just no way to play games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon unless you could read what was happening. I was frustrated that I couldn't play such cute, fun looking games, but it motivated me to learn to read and I'd watch my literate big sister play until I could manage it myself.
Pokemon and other rpgs played a massive part in me learning to read growing up
The truth is: No one of us would be here without that cat.
True
_yes_
Soo true
Smart idea
cat rules the TH-cam
Came here for cat tail, ended up being schooled on child-literacy
That's how they get us
I honestly didn't pay attention to what he said ...
It isn't just good for child literacy, it improves literacy in all ages that needs improvement and any language. So long as the language is being studied
that was a really really good point he was making. i've never thought about that, but I will definitely have CC on when i have kids (and let them watch tv)
I forgot everything he said. It’s pretty obvious why I get bad grades isn’t it.
Rocco was just casting his vote for the tv captions.
I second him.
This will never gets old. Rocco is an empath. He understands people's emotion and he felt that everyone was actually really bored so he generously entertained them with his regal tail 😂
Its the cat's house, the human just lives in it.

No, its the cat's house, we human's are just the live in servants.
And pays for the cat food, and all the bills 😹

Rocco lives, and he has a story to tail.
🦧🐖🌹😷
xD
you should have said he has a tail to tell
Bdmtss 🥁
Now get out!
Cringe
He addresses his cat like how a teacher would address their student 😂
Don't know this guy but his cat won our hearts in a second.
*No one's talking about the FACT that Rocco is an awesome name for a cat.*
Actually, according to his twitter, the cat’s name is Rojo
@@JustPlainDontAsk well, it's still a good name 😅
...and then if he pees or worse in a wrong place, well, it's only smellz!
(upvote if you got the reference lol)
in my opinion a name is only good if it has a good meaning. I named my cat Georgie because georgium was the original name of my favorite planet (uranus, it's an interesting story lol)
No, cats respond better to names ending in eee
Our company CEO instituted a pet tax durring online meetings. If your pet interupted a meeting, you had to show them of and introduce them to the rest of the conference call.
That's how it should be 🤣 I love that
That is awesome. I'm going to have to use that one from now on. Thank you.

I love that we all are still childlike in humor when there’s an animal involved
Yes, exactly! Plus the fact that everybody will immediately forgive any fault or gaffe when it’s caused by animals. We humans don’t forgive ourselves because we forget we’re animals too.
@@RogerioLupoArteCientifica we don't forgive ourselves because we understand the difference between right and wrong as far as these human-ish things are concerned. Animals don't so it's not their fault
@@RogerioLupoArteCientifica tf you'r saying ?
animal loves hooman too
cause it's funny watching cats be little shts even in the most important of meetings. everyone knows cats don't give a f what you are doing nor how important it is, if they want attention, they WILL find a way to get it. typing a business email with your keyboard? nope, your typing on the cats new bed until you give them attention. talking to someone? what? giving someone else more attention then your cat is a big nono, cats gonna find a way to change that.
I love how everyone is happy about it
A cat whose tail is straight up in the air is a confident, happy cat. This particular politician treats his cat well.
Yes! I was so charmed to see Rocco give such a big, lovely hello to the gentleman speaking. Very heart-warming
@@andrelli82 Rocco is a natural, the rest of the humans were fluttering and looked flustered thrown off their scripts. Makes me wonder how robotic they really are 🙄
It's just a theory, but...hear me out. From evidence I've gathered so far, possibly, maybe...this may seem a bit absurd, but I believe some politicians may be human. Again, just a theory.

Cute
He didn’t have to call Rocco by his name, but he did anyway which makes it even funnier.
Every cat owner has dealt with this problem. My cat has recently found he likes to walk in front of my computer screen no matter what I'm doing. He even did this when I was on a virtual visit from my therapist. Twice.
Pets always bring people together, it's heart-warming.
Which pets specifically?
yes, especially when they are rabid and lost somewhere around you.
I think it's weird that people are putting their pets in a suit and tie.

Cats really do reduce stress, they should be involved in more political affairs
This!!
10 Downing Street, where the UK Prime Minister resides during their time in office, has actually had a Chief Mouser for more than a hundred years now. It's an actual position. The history is quite interesting. There's a video here on youtube about all the past cats. The current cat, Larry, has been the current Chief Mouser for 10 years now.
Yes we need a designated political debate cat
@@downthispath6538 That's one interesting info! Thanks a lot!
How else do you think the pyramids were accomplished
Honestly let's not overlook his point about child literacy, that's a really smart idea.
I do closed captioning/subtitles with my dyslexic child. He hates it, but admits it helps him.
@Post Mloney When I was little and watched movies with my parents, the subtitles were almost always on, and at first it was challenging to keep up with the reading, but eventually I caught on. I definitely think this sort of thing helps bridge the gap between spoken and written language in a way all kids can benefit from.
That moment when subtitles are sometging every person in my country has or has used. Also my family benefitts them because my mom is going deaf (also blind so nit that usefull). Only minus of having subtitles on everything and having a HoH/deaf parent is that you are not allowed to watch TV with sounds on. I am perfectly hearing and I want to hear something.
insaaanestuff
Would you rather take your chances with human stupidity in the future?
Yes, as a dutch person i 100% agree. We have most of our movies in English with dutch subtitles. You learn both languages, as such it doesn't surprise me that (same as audio language) subtitles do improve literacy.
Rocco seems like a distinguished gentleman.

I came for the cat tail but stayed for the interesting points being made.
he does make good points. I personally dislike using subs (other than for films which have drowned dialogue) since I feel it pulls my eyes down away from what's going on, but it's definitely valuable for children as they learn to read and write.
