“HOORAY THE ATTIC IS OPEN awesome view from attic window PLUS I PROVIDE CREEPY CAT SHADOW IN TOP WINDOW wooooooooooo look out socks above”

These are just come of the inane tweets from @Sockington, a cat on Twitter that somehow managed to pass 500,000 folowers on Twitter on Friday.  Oh joy.

Sockington (A.K.A. "Socks" and "Sockamillion") also has his own website and a few members of the "Socks Army", the cat's "rabid" group of fans, are purchasing T-shirts with the cat’s tweets printed on them.

The pet’s owner, Jason Scott, is even doing interviews (below) and has been a featured speaker at events about the Twitter account.
