How in the blue hell does a simple house cat get more than 500,000 twitter followers? I have no clue. I heard about Sockington the Cat, who is apparently a real cat, through an article at locker gnome. The cat, who belongs to Jason Scott of Waltham, MA posts on twitter pretty regularly, though I have some trouble decoding some of his tweets, such as:

and so I slept and then I walked around and then I slept again and then I saw a cobweb OH BACK PAWS YOU MAKE THE PERFECT PILLOW thank goodness I kept you around ZZZZZZZZZZ

…what? I know, it makes no sense but half a million followers in three months?! Why the hell is this cat so damn popular? People are easily amused, I guess. On the other hand, maybe I should set up a little twitter for Koji and his pup. Though I don’t think it would really say anything of substance. Probably something like:

“Peed on the bed again. This is my territory, bitch.” or “Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball, bacon!”
