A key factor in becoming a social media success story is staying consistent to your feline's voice and personality.
Whether you're posting in character or documenting your cat's daily operations from a human point of view, make sure your tone, slang, and style of posts are all on message.
Think of it this way: You wouldn't expect Grumpy Cat to suddenly start talking about peace and love and happiness, right?

Nothing makes people skip past a post quicker than terrible pictures of your cat. Fortunately, there are three simple steps that you can take to ensure that your cat pics stay slick.
First, turn off your flash and use natural light from a window.
Second, make sure there's no clutter or mess in the background. This way the focus is on your cat, not that pile of unopened mail on the kitchen countertop.
Third, use treats or toys to trick your cat into looking directly at your camera phone lens.

Anyone can follow the most popular social media cats, but it's important to go beyond simply liking a user's posts and start to interact with them.
The easiest way is to leave thoughtful comments on a post. That way, other viewers might notice your name and click through to your own profile.
It's a smart tactic to gain exposure and hopefully more followers.

You can maximize your social media reach by making sure your posts automate across different apps. This is easy to do via the settings option in most apps, and once you've turned it on, it means that your latest Instagram post will automatically be added to your Twitter and Facebook feed too.
Multitasking has never been this easy.
