Sockington

Sockington (also known as "Sockamillion" or "Socks") was a domestic cat who lived in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. He gained large-scale fame via the social networking site Twitter; his co-owner, Jason Scott, an archivist and Internet historian, regularly posted from Sockington's Twitter account since late 2007. As of July 2018, Sockington's account had over 1.2 million followers, many of which were pet accounts themselves.

Sockington was a grey and white domestic shorthaired cat; he was found as a stray outside a Boston subway station in 2004.

In July 2014, Parade magazine called Sockington a "Pet Power Player" and named him #1 in their list of pet social media sensations.

Sockington died on July 18, 2022.
