7 Cats On Twitter With More Followers Than You

Do you Twitter? That's cool, just so long as you're not an obnoxious d-bag about it. We've even been known to emit the occasional awesome tweet ourselves.

So now that everyone and their fave celebrity is on Twitter, what's next? Twittering cats? Ha ha ha. Oh wait, that's not a joke. (So much these days isn't a joke.) That's right, friends, Twitter is so rife with cats, one can't possibly keep up with all of them. Helpful imps that we are, we've distilled them all down to a handy list of our favorites. Here ya go, Twitter 'n' cats fans: 7 Cats On Twitter With More Followers Than You. Feel free to tweet about it.



7. Socks (aka Sockington)
Follow him at: http://twitter.com/sockington
Bio: He is Jason Scott's cat
Sample Tweet: "zzzzzzzzzzz snk STREEEEEEEEEEEEETCH pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad pad MAN I HATE THIS COMMUTE"
Followers: 586,737

Yes, you read that right. Sockington has nearly 600,000 followers. He's the most famous cat on Twitter. He's the current darling of the media. He's the reason why the terrorists hate us. (Well, him, plus Heidi and Spencer.)



6. Oscar
Follow him at: http://twitter.com/OscarTheCat
Bio: "It's all good! Especially if there is tuna involved."
Followers: 2,372
Sample Tweet: "Food. Food! Hello, food lady? HELLO? Well, there you are. 3 hours since last you fed me! FEED me NOW! Nomnomnom"
Location: Rainbow Bridge

Sadly, Oscar has moved on to the Rainbow Bridge (translation: he died), but, much like another famous cat, death hasn't slowed down his online output very much. So Oscar is a cat, Oscar is dead, and he still has more followers than you. Here's your depression. You're welcome.




5. Boopy (aka Sir Boopington)
Follow him at http://twitter.com/sir_boopington
Bio: "I'm big, I'm blue and white, I am Boopy, but you may call me Sir"
Sample Post: "I just coughed up not one, but two hairballs right in high traffic pathways of the place. Fine day for me, indeed."
Followers: 454

Two hairballs, Sir Boopington? That is a fine day! Most deserving of a retweet. Our cat can't vomit once without getting all tuckered out. She's pretty good at crapping in the floor, though, but still.


4. Snuggle Muttonchops
Follow Him At: http://twitter.com/snugmuttonchops
Bio: Foodie, fish-lover, and twitter kitteh. I have 4 feline brothers and 3 humans. My main human feeds me and cleans up my poo which smells like flowers.
Followers: 295
Sample Tweet: "Any ladies out there (feline or canine...I'm open-minded) that like platinum-colored cats? Interspecies dating rocks!"

Snuggle Muttonchops seems to have turned to Twitter mainly for online dating. Other sample tweets include "Your eyes are heavenly. May i lick you?" and "I wanna lick your face soooo bad." Snuggle Muttonchops is straight up mackin'.



3. Penny
Follow her at: http://twitter.com/Pennycat
Sample Post: "Of all the litter boxes in all the world, he (@Sockington) had to walk into mine."
Followers: 5,482
Penny is the assistant/sister/nemesis of the infamous Sockington. She toils in near obscurity, with about 575,000 less followers than that black-and-white gloryhound. Socks is lucky to have her, because she-- you know what? Never mind. We are grown men.


2. Jack Williams
Follow Him At: http://twitter.com/jackluvsblanket
Bio: "i'm a cat. i rule."
Sample Tweet: "I celebrate the holidays with mommy and daddy, but none of us think i am Jewish."
Followers: 381

With the username jackluvsblanket, we were hoping this would be all about how much this cat loves blankets, his favorite blankets, what he likes about blankets, you know, more blankets. Unfortunately, there is much less blanket talk than we would like. By the way, we are seriously going to start twittering as a blanket.


1. Suckington
Follow Him At: http://twitter.com/suckington
Bio: Meow Henrietta Pussycat's meow meow cousin.
Followers: 922
Sample Tweet: "Meow meow watching Jon and Kate + 8. Meow want to meow Kate."

Suckington may or may not be Office star Rainn Wilson, but is most definitely the result of the bizarre/hilarious Rainn-Sockington feud, chronicled here. Any bizarre backstory that helps lift cat twittering above "I'm going to impersonate my beloved Miss Fuzzybritches. Book deal, here I come!" is appreciated and destined for our number one slot. Meow good job, Suckington. Meow good job.
