While animals have no idea how hilarious and cute they are, some have managed to achieve more success on social media than many of their human counterparts. Take Liam the rescue cat, for example. He has more than 49k followers on Instagram, over 67k on Facebook, and thousands more on other platforms.
Liam is a cat actor and of course, a pet influencer. Not only does he wear the most adorable outfits, and go on all sorts of adventures like camping, but he can also do tricks. “Sit,” “high-five,” and “handshake,” are among the many he has mastered.
Then there's Lionel, or Lenni, the hedgehog. His bio describes him as "spiky, then sweet," and he's amassed more than 137k followers on Instagram.
This Charleston, South Carolina native has his fans following his every move. "A self-proclaimed 'cactus with legs,' Lionel the Hedgehog is a spiny ball of personality captivating the internet," reads the Shorty Awards site. He's loves dressing up and does so for every holiday and season, from Christmas, Valentines and even Election Day.
According to the Shorty site, he's posed as “spike” cream atop a sprinkle-topped sugar cone, as the seed of an avocado, and cuddled inside a coffee cup.
