上周五，巴基斯坦地方政府部长肖卡特·尤萨夫扎伊和记者对话的网络直播视频火了，原因是他的社交媒体团队的一名成员不小心打开了脸书网站上的“猫咪”滤镜。

一名网友说：“碗橱里有一只猫。”（原短语是a skeleton in the cabinet，意思是“不为人知的家丑”）其他网友则更直白：“肖卡特·尤萨夫扎伊看起来像一只猫——喵喵喵”。
The video - seen by an AFP reporter - was deleted minutes after the press conference from the official Facebook page of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf(PTI) party, which is in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
