A rescued cat with a huge audience
Sockington was found outside a Boston subway station in 2004. His owner later began posting from the cat’s imagined perspective on Twitter. By July 2018, the account had more than 1.2 million followers. The writing was the owner’s work.
The cat lived his life; a human handled the publishing.
