Come on, don’t go there. We’re talking kitty cats.

Mika Brzezinksi makes no secret that she’s a sucker for kitties. She recently connected with radio shock jock Howard Stern‘s wife, Beth Stern, a spokeswoman for the North Shore Animal League of America, to adopt a kitten to give to her daughter, Emilie, for her 19th birthday.

On Friday, Beth — a friend of the show — brought the cat to the set to meet Mika for the first time.

And in a daring act of courage, Mika is allowing Howard Stern to name the cat.

The animal gives her one more thing in common (as if they possibly need anything else) with her cohost and work husband Joe Scarborough, who is also a cat lover and will soon receive his new rescue cat from Beth Stern. In March of last year, Joe’s other cat stopped by the set of “Morning Joe” as a surprise. Mika had borrowed it for some behavior training, and brought it in and pulled it out of a zipped bag. At the time, Scarborough wanted to know what was wrong with Mika and semi-jokingly called the whole thing “bizarre.” [RELATED: 16 Men In Journalism With Pussies]

On Friday, however, Joe cooed over Mika’s new cat and said it’s light brown coat matched his co-host. The animal will be fostered by the Sterns in their home before heading to the Brzezinksi household.

Considering the new cat is “gorg like Beth” — as Mika described the animal on Twitter — perhaps Howard will be kind and not come up with anything too dirty.

“Keep it clean,” Mika advised.

Then again…this is Howard Stern.
