Sockington, affectionately known as Socks, was a tabby cat who rose to fame on Twitter, charming millions with his witty and relatable commentary on the feline experience. Thanks to his human, Jason Scott, Socks quickly became a household name, tweeting about the simple pleasures of cat life—naps, sunbeams, laser pointers, and kibble.

His internet stardom reached new heights when, in July 2014, Parade magazine crowned him a “Pet Power Player” and named him #1 on their list of pet social media sensations. Sockington’s clever tweets captivated audiences far beyond the comfort of his home.

Though he is no longer with us, Sockington’s legacy as a top-tier internet sensation lives on, his paws having left a lasting impression on both the online world and the hearts of his many fans.
