Sockington (also known as "Sockamillion" or "Socks") was a domestic cat who lived in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States.

[1][2] Sockington was a grey and white domestic shorthaired cat; he was found as a stray outside a Boston subway station in 2004.

By May 2009 the account had half a million followers, which led British newspaper The Independent to call him "Twitter's latest megastar".

Tweetie's tale of rescue effectively brought attention to the plight of feral cats and provided an opportunity for fund-raising for The Animal Center in Newtown, Connecticut (United States), the shelter that saved him.

[10] "Food Lady", the woman responsible for the cats' maintenance and welfare... not to mention kibble, also has a Twitter presence.

"[1] Mary Ullmer of The Grand Rapids Press called the tweets by Sockington "hilarious" and described the phenomenon as "Garfield goes 21st century".
