Eduardo Rodriguez, weathercaster for Miami Univision station WLTV, had a furry visitor during his 11 p.m. weather forecast on Friday.

According to Univision’s youtube page, the station’s parking lot is home to several cats and this one just happened to wander onto the set mid-forecast for what looked like a swim through the Gulf of Mexico before taking a sniff of The Bahamas.  The feline cameo was punctuated by laughter from the talent and crew off-camera while Rodriguez steadily continued on.
