Cats and social media go hand in hand, paw in paw, and paw in hand. It’s also true that Facebook is one heck of a social media platform with no shortage of fun ways for all of us to pass our time.
These truths intersect for any of us who are obsessed with cats. A lot of us are obsessed with cats.
One group on Facebook you might find pawsitively irresistible once you think about it is the Facebook group called My House, Not My Cat. Cats can be surprisingly independent even to those of us who have a firm grasp on their purrsonality type!
Still, a cat that doesn’t live exclusively indoors or even a cat that sneaks out is not remotely ashamed to make his or herself right at home… in someone else’s home! Plus, with cats, the more outrageous the circumstances, the funnier the incident tends to be.
