Currently, numerous countries around the world are under lockdown as a measure to stop the coronavirus from spreading. In addition, many people started working from home, even meteorologists. This has been a big adjustment for most of them, especially for those people who live with a pet that doesn’t respect any working hours, social distancing, or even personal space.

For instance, Jeff Lyons, a meteorologist from Indiana was forced to start reporting the daily weather forecast from his dining room. However, he wasn’t alone. Actually, his cat named Betty quickly joined the show.

The 10-year-old cat made her debut in April and already has a large and loyal fanbase. In just a few weeks, Betty went viral and people all over the world started watching her predict the weather.
