WTF: Sockington the Cat Gets 500,000 Twitter Followers in 3 Months (Video)

“and so I slept and then I walked around and then I slept again and then I saw a cobweb and OH FINE YES IT IS A SLOW NEWS DAY”

“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.

OK, so Twitter is hot now.  I get it.

But I really don't get how a CAT snags half a million followers.  Check, please.  I'm outta' here...
