Sadly for Ed, this meant all eight cats darting away in a comical escape act.
In the video, Ed, surrounded by the cats, asked, “Who wants to hear a song?” As he began playing his hit “Thinking Out Loud” on the guitar, the cats swiftly made a mad dash, leaving Ed smiling and fans in stitches.
Ed is currently in Japan as part of his two-year Mathematics tour.
