The Internet is perhaps the most beautiful place for cats if you don't know another where you can purr to your heart's content. We have explored the vastness of the global web in search of the most popular cats on the Internet. And the result is this list based on both Internet data and conventional media.
1. Grumpy cat Grumpy
The cat named Grumpy, which means "gloomy", took the first step to fame in 2012. Thanks to the sullen expression of his face, Grumpy quickly gained popularity on social networks and gained over 12 million subscribers to his account. Now Grumpy has absolutely no reason to be sullen, especially since he has more than doubled the popularity of cat # 2.
Facebook is the main source of drawing attention to Grumpy the cat. Here he has the most subscribers - about 8.7 million. Then follow: Instagram - 2.2 million; Twitter - 900 thousand; YouTube - more than 240 thousand. On Instagram, most of the fans suffering from daily love for cats are residents of the United States. The second and third places are taken by Great Britain and Canada. Despite the frowning expression of the muzzle, Grumpy's behavior is no different from ordinary cats. As its owners assure, Grumpy also rushes in circles, climbs trees and plays in every possible way.
2. Nala
Nala was taken away from her family at a young age and, sadly, nothing is known about the fate of her relatives. But Nala brought love to the house of her new owners. So say the new owners of Nala. They created an Instagram account specifically to share Nala's story with her friends and family back in another house. Nala's new owners could not have expected the glory that would fall upon them after the publication of this story. Now they are using the power of social networks to inform pet owners about the need to properly raise their pets.
Nala has an impressive number of subscribers - about 5.9 million. Most of her fans are on Instagram (3.4 million) and Facebook (2.5 million). Predictably, most of the subscribers are concentrated in the United States, but Indonesia is surprisingly in second place. The third place is traditionally occupied by Great Britain. In addition to promoting the sale of goods associated with her name, Nala participates in programs to help find new owners for abandoned animals on the website www.petfinder.ru.
3. A cat named Waffle
The cat's waffle was named because of its cockiness and for the same reason he could not find owners for a long time until he grew up. He became the last cat in the litter to find a new owner. It all happened when a couple, dog lovers, came to the house where Waffle lived and saw this cat. They immediately changed their preferences and Waffle found a new home.
Waffle's main audience is on Facebook and is about 2.5 million subscribers. Another half a million fans are on Instagram. Thus, the total number of Waffle fans is about 3 million users. Like most cat lovers, the majority of Waffle fans are women, mostly in the United States.
4. Lil Bab
This cat from the United States helped raise money for the American organization for the protection of animals (ASPCA) and has achieved very great success in this field. Since 2012, the amount of fees has exceeded 300 thousand dollars. In addition, a whole industry has developed around Lil Baba selling goods with the image of a cat. All these products are sold through a specialized online store dedicated to Lil Babu.
While in the United States, Lil Bab was able to earn 4.8 million votes in his homeland, of which 2.5 million are Facebook users. The invariably majority of the audience is women (about 74%) between the ages of 17 and 24.
Such a picture is quite understandable if you look at the image of a cat in which he looks like an example of impudence and attractiveness.
5. Cole and Marmalade
Both of these cats were taken by the owners from the shelter, but they are not related to each other. Chris, that is the host's name, was the first to host Cole in 2012. The cat belongs to the Turkish Angor breed. Marmalade became the second pet in the house a year later. Prior to that, he had to go through a difficult stage in his life associated with the fight against cancer. Interestingly, both cats have a hard time getting along with each other.
A website dedicated to Cole and Marmalade teaches owners how to treat cats how to wash, feed, and build relationships between pets. Cole and Marmalade are the 5th most popular on the network with about 2.3 million subscribers. As in most other cases, the bulk of the subscribers are Facebook users, women and residents of the United States.
