An audience in Tel Aviv broke into laughter and applause as a cat gatecrashed a concert to the amazement of the orchestra.

A full house of nearly 3,000 people had gathered to listen to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Zubin Mehta.

He joked that the cat had crept in through the beggar's entrance, and blamed the condition of the hall.

The cat was not the only special guest at the concert - US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi also voiced her surprise at the feline interruption.
