WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A Massachusetts man said the Twitter account he opened to post catlike musings from his feline's point of view has more than 1.5 million followers.

Jason Scott, 37, of Waltham, Mass., said he started the "inner monologue" micro-blog for his cat, Sockington, in 2007 and the Twitter feed now has 1.5 million followers and has even inspired a rap song by MC frontalot, The Boston Globe reported Friday.

Scott said his goals include "breaking up the self-important and bland Twittering" and sharing Sockington's "life of boredom" with the world.

"If you have a cat," he said, "you realize their life is mostly food and sleep."

He said the posts are mostly centered around those themes.

"HMM YOU ARE VERY INTERESTING TO ME oh it looks like you're finished eating NOT QUITE AS INTERESTING ANYMORE," one post reads.
