Ever since Miley Cyrus made her sudden exit from Twitter (a decision she has stuck to), there has been a Fail Whale-sized void in the MTV News tweetiverse. But the role of top tweeter could rest on the shoulders of Katy Perry, whose feed has been a fountain of excellence as of late. It helps that Perry leads a profoundly fascinating life: Hanging out in London with fiancé Russell Brand, traveling to India to get her picture taken in front of the Taj Mahal, working in the studio with Dr. Luke and constantly craving In-N-Out Burger.
But perhaps one of the most honest and endearing things about the feed is Perry's cat obsession. She's more than a little fixated on her kitten (whose name is Kitty Purry, an absolutely phenomenal pun) and will often tweet about the status of the cat. She recently introduced Kitty Purry to a new cat, which apparently did not go well. "Kitty, stop hissing at your new boyfriend!" she wrote. "Hmmm maybe she's not into dudes!" (That would be an appropriate result for a girl who had a hit with "I Kissed a Girl.")
Earlier today, she posted a picture of a cat with an apparent haircut (and a dramatic one at that). "What have I done?" she wrote. Did Katy Perry shave her cat? Or did a groomer just get a little carried away? Either way, the enclosed photo is one of the best we've ever seen.
So keep up the good work, Katy. Keep tweeting with Perez Hilton and making references to Alanis Morissette singles — we need it.
