The one thing 2021 has made abundantly clear is that social media is bad, bad, bad for us. But also most of us need to be on social media — for work, for friendship connections, for romantic pursuits, and also because otherwise our families are gonna be calling us ON THE PHONE to make sure we’re alive. We don’t need to add the stress of TALKING on the PHONE to this already very stressful world we’re living in. So what can you do? Well, I’ll tell you what I did and it was one of the best things I did all year: You can follow a bunch of cats on Twitter. They speak their own language, these cats; they all have their own personalities; they talk to each other, and they’ll talk to you too. Cat Twitter is the best Twitter and, in my opinion, it’s the smartest thing you can do to keep social media from making you want to hurl yourself into the sea.
As always, please leave your favorites in the comments!

I love the Cagle Cats! It’s so nice to see little foster kittens in addition to the owner’s 3 cats (Freya, Froyo, and Fran). >w<

Jorts (and Jean) are a late entry but very important in my opinion.

(thank you for this, heather, this is exactly the content my brain needed!)
You left out @BitchestheCat and her family and @TheAsscat.
Oh oh you need Duck on this list! Duck is the best!!!

Oh and ALSO Tussetroll and Tingeling! Tussetroll is the cat from the cowboy singing meme, and Tingeling is a Scottish fold googly-eyed void cat

PSA: Bilbo has a podcast called The Bilbcast that’s just him purring and purring. This is the only thing that has gotten me to sleep for the past year. God bless these cats
