Time to introduce the Cats Of Twitter!
This list includes 36 famous Twitter cats that have at least 10,000 followers each. Yes, that's right, at least ten thousand people - a community the size of a small town - choose to keep up with these kitties' antics on a daily - sometimes hourly - basis.
In case you're wondering what Twitter is anyway...
Twitter is a social media network of a unique nature: Messages are limited to 144 characters. These bursts of dispersed energy are just perfect for cats, so it's little wonder that felines took this social network by storm.There are many accounts belonging to cats, some of whom are real-world celebrities! Sometimes the voice behind the account is that of the cat. Other times, it's the owner recounting his or her kitty's adventures. Either way, it's lots of fun!
If you're on Twitter you should definitely follow these cats and see for yourself why they're so awesome! Don't forget to follow @TheCatSite as well!
