Yes, what you’ve heard is true: Cats are taking over the world and the internet. Not only are cats the most popular pet in the United States (you read that right, dog lovers), there are also the very famous LOL Cat memes, and cats that have their own Twitter accounts. If you’re on Twitter, consider following these famous kitties!
Anfield Cat: This guy is a bit of a sensation already as he made his debut when he ran out onto the Anfield Stadium soccer field in Liverpool on February 6, 2012. Just hours after he dashed out onto the green, Anfield was on Twitter with over 13,000 followers. If you’re a fan of soccer, this is the cat to follow! Anfield’s tweets have a bit of fun teasing to them too: “Fernando Torres reportedly jealous…I got a bigger cheer than he has all season.”
Sockamillion is easily the most famous cat on Twitter with over a million followers! Sockamillion was even nominated for a Shorty Award, which is an award given to influential people (and pets!) on Twitter for best short content. Sockamillion’s tweets are amusing to fans everywhere with gems like this one: “JUST GRABBING A QUICK NAP BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP no idea how I fit all this in TRULY A MODERN CAT zzzzz”.
Penny Cat is also hovering around 13,000 followers, and is a sister and pal to Sockamillion. One of her more famous tweets mimics Casablanca: “Of all the litter boxes in all the world, he (@Sockington) had to walk into mine.” Penny and Sockamillion are also the leaders of a website called Sockington.
Simon’s Cat: Simon’s Cat is a YouTube sensation that made his way to Twitter and now has over 50,000 followers. A creation of English animator Simon Tofield (who has four cats!), Simon Cat has been the subject of numerous books, videos, and comic strips. Simon Cat is most famous for the film Cat Man Do, which is a short animated film that can be seen here.
If you’re on Twitter, do you follow any of these famous felines, or do you think the Twitter trend is ridiculous and silly?
