Granted, the cat doesn’t read the news and make comments on current events. It just kinda sprawls out on the desk, like cats do, as important guests discuss world politics. What else do you want the feline to do? Japan loves cats, and it also loves
royally rummy 
idols—both of which Kotaku has covered before. So, weekly news program Shuukan News Shinsho (or, loosely, Weekly News Digest) actually has a “show idol” in the form of an American shorthair

Perhaps Maago makes the mood a bit lighter because things can get heavy—think Meet the Press or Face the Nation with a furry feline. Or maybe, this is to draw in viewers who don’t care for the serious stuff, but sure love cats. Whatever the rationale is, it makes the show interesting and proves one thing:
