00:00There was like an Australian online newspaper and it had it's had Colonel Meow that said

00:06Catlebrities and then right next to him was Kim Kardashian's face of like some other headline

00:14and they were right next to each other the same size and I was like, oh my god.

00:19Hi, my name is Anne-Marie Avey and I own Colonel Meow.

00:36I would say he handles it like he's Brad Pitt, but he doesn't really understand.

00:43He just thinks like it's normal.

00:47If you love your cat and if you love posting stuff or making videos, then do it.

00:55Let the sharing happen organically and eventually people like that enough, it will be shared.

01:00It's like wildfire.

01:02You can't control it.

01:04There's no progression.

01:05It's just happens.

01:06The conversation is really about like fascination, like what makes people fascinated.

01:10Anything can be a meme if it's unique enough that people want to mimic it and share it.

01:17I don't consider him a meme, but if people out there have made him one and it's great

01:21to see.

01:22Colonel Meow, I love what he has and he's fluffy as hell and looks angry in 20,000 different

01:28ways.

01:29It's just like this ferocious looking massive cat.

01:33He walked down Hollywood Boulevard and he just kind of walks around and just have people

01:38with their phones like, is that a, what, what is that?

01:41It is the most insane looking cat I've ever seen in the best way.

01:47He's so cool.

01:48He's so fun and he just doesn't care.

01:51You know, he just doesn't care.

01:53That little fur ball of funk.

01:56Two shakes.

02:00He was abandoned on the side of the road, was taken to a kill shelter and through the

02:04Persian Himalayan Society, I was able to rescue him.

02:08He looked at me with those big eyes.

02:10You and me, like you and I have something and I need you to step it up right now and

02:16get me out.

02:18I just obeyed.

02:19I just obeyed, which is like any minion would do.

02:24With Colonel Meow, he's definitely inspired my writing.

02:28He definitely gave me that second chance, like here you go, look at me, you might as

02:34well write something about this.

02:39The social media around Colonel Meow is hilarious.

02:42He's an ex-Colonel and Scotch is his go-to.

02:46He likes a smooth Johnny Walker black, one cube, and he just wants to relax and make

02:52all the voices go away.

02:54The owner has gone and created a personality type around Colonel Meow, this like storyline

03:00of like what Colonel Meow likes to do, which is drink Scotch.

03:06Colonel for a special occasion, tomorrow.

03:11Colonel doesn't give a rip.

03:12When people come over, he doesn't scurry and run underneath the bed.

03:16He like greets them and is like, welcome to my humble abode, gentlemen.

03:20Sit down, relax.

03:22I'm going to look from the top of my cat castle and stare at you all day.

03:27Colonel has this piercing stare.

03:29I'm like, Colonel, no, I'm not feeding you again.

03:33You know, he's like, whatever, fine, I won't snuggle with you later.

03:39It's very, it's on his terms is how we live our life.

03:43As humans, we secretly want to have that who gives a care type of thing.

03:50We have our Facebook, we have a Twitter, and we have a Tumblr, and we have a Instagram.

03:55We just post stuff every day and make some videos.

03:58We also have a YouTube account as well.

04:01You capture these moments on film with your animal and you share it on the internet.

04:06It's like the largest cat park in the world.

04:09There's that old joke that cats are popular on the internet because dog users can walk

04:14their dogs.

04:15How do you share your very, like, indoors focused cat?

04:19People are like, the internet's filled with cats.

04:21I'm like, well, because we can't go anywhere else.

04:23You're so good.

04:24Cats on the internet are just great.

04:27They're cats.

04:29I never expected this attention, and that's really cool to see others love him just as

04:35much as you do.

04:38What he represents is, like, a rescued cat.

04:41Turn your look around.

04:42Give the cat a good home, loving home, and that's a great thing.

04:47I'm so lucky to have that instant connection with him.

04:50When I first saw him, it was like, you need to get this cat.

04:52I don't know why.

04:53Oh, yeah, he's crazy looking, but just get him, just get him, and it'll all work out,

04:58and I feel like it was meant to be.
