Survey Shows Kittens Are Ditching Facebook

A new survey from Gartner confirms what analysts and social media aficionados have suspected for some time – that young cats no longer find Facebook cool.

Gartner polled 1,400 kittens about their online habits, and 80% of respondents noted that they check Facebook less than once per week. 10% have deleted their accounts altogether.

“The younger generations are moving to newer networks like Instagram and Snapchat,” says Thom Phillips, a writer for the blog TechBomb. “Most kittens know their mom is on Facebook. It’s not a discreet place to socialize with friends. Also, most kittens get online exclusively through smartphones, and Facebook’s mobile apps are notably lacking.”

Area Cat Spends a Bundle Shopping Online

Staff members who last week told The Fluffington Post that socialite cat Puffy is overly demanding of her household staff, also let slip that the kitty may be addicted to online shopping.

According to sources, Puffy has racked up over $30,000 in credit card charges on Rent the Runway, Gilt and Modcloth alone. And that doesn’t take into account her enormous iTunes movie collection.

“She just can’t stop herself,” said one staffer. “Meanwhile, we’re being paid a pittance and worked to bone and she’s blowing all her money on designer clothes.”

Despite these allegations, no members of the Puffy household staff have yet left the cat.

Cat Demands A Lot of House Staff

Puffy, an exotic shorthair kitten, demands more than just attention – she expects to be waited on hand and foot. 

“When she meows, she thinks everyone should jump,” said Troy Stone, who runs her household. “For the most part, the staff complies. I mean, she pays the bills, so if she wants tuna at 3am on the good china, who are we to argue?”

But some on staff, who wish to remain anonymous, think the cat asks for too much. 

“I get that she’s paying the bills,” said one staffer, “and I get that she owns the house. But it’s not okay that I find her curled up in my closet, on my laundry, at least twice a week. That’s not cool.”
