Christiane Amanpour was on 'The Colbert Report' Tuesday night (weekdays, 11:30 ET on Comedy Central) to talk Egypt. The last Egypt "expert" Colbert had on his show, a couple weeks earlier, had been a psychic cat Middle East correspondent he called "Christianne Aman-purr."

"I'm glad to have you here, because my previous guest on the subject was my psychic cat correspondent Christianne Aman-purr," Colbert explained, and then explained how the cat never did get to the bottom what was going on in the embattled nation.

The real Amanpour offered a more coherent breakdown of the situation, and then gamely offered Colbert a "little Aman-purr safari suit with an ABC news pin on it" to give to her cat counterpart.

"Do you think there's any chance I could fit in this?" Colbert said of the tiny suit.

Sadly, Christianne Aman-purr wasn't on set to receive her gift. According to Colbert she was "in heat," which is just one of those problems news organization have to deal with when they rely on psychic cats.
