Livestream fail gives cop cat ears and whiskers during murder case announcement

Canadian cops were left “feline” foolish when they livestreamed a press conference on a double murder — and a cat filter left the chief officer with cats ears and whiskers.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were giving a very serious press conference into the brutal killing of an American woman and an Australian man who were shot on the side of a highway while touring British Columbia.

But it turned into a real PR cat-astrophe as the silly filter was left on the live feed — and Sgt. Janelle Shoihet was left with pink ears along with a black nose and whiskers, according to Fox News.

“Yes we are aware and addressing it as it’s an automatic setting,” the force quickly tweeted after a barrage of messages warning of the silly sight.

“Thank you, we will rectify and issue a video shortly,” the RCMP added, with a cleaned-up video posted later.

It did not end the teasing, with many stressing that such filters are not automatic settings.

“Are you going to fix that right meow?” joked one follower, Ben Beecher, on Twitter.

Last month, politicians in Pakistan had a similar feline-filter fail while livestreaming a press conference.
