This rescue cat is 5 years old and thought to be a mix between a Siamese and a tabby. The Instagram account is home to more than 2.3 million followers, so it&#8217;s no wonder she&#8217;s the most popular cat. Read on to find out why she&#8217;s so popular and where you can follow her!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nala_Methachittiphan\"><\/span>Nala Methachittiphan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nala is a siamese and tabby mix with white and gray fur. She was rescued from an animal shelter and has an amazing following of over 4.1 million people. Her owners, Shannon Ellis and Varisiri Methachittiphan, have six other cats and a dog, all of whom are famous on the Internet. The cat has a growing following, with Methachittiphan&#8217;s brother contacting her about sponsored content deals.<\/p>\n<p>Nala began her Instagram career at a Castaic animal shelter in California. Her face and personality instantly drew the attention of users, who were amazed by her cuteness. Then, when she reached one million followers, Shannon Ellis approached Methachittiphan to make a custom bow tie for the adorable feline. The two eventually met and agreed to collaborate on a bow tie.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lil_BUB\"><\/span>Lil BUB<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s a new star on the internet, and her name is Lil BUB. The eight-year-old cat, who had spherical eyes, a hanging tongue, and multiple other anomalies, quickly became the most popular cat on Instagram. In just a few short months, Lil Bub had 2.4 million followers on Instagram and was the subject of several merchandise lines. Her photos went viral, and she even has her own documentary series!<\/p>\n<p>The most popular cat on Instagram has recently passed away. Her owner, Bridavsky, announced her death on her Instagram page. The news brought many fans to tears. The adorable feline died in her sleep after a long battle with an aggressive bone infection. Her fans had become so attached to her adorable face and sweet personality that she earned millions of followers and a mini-empire on social media.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Venus\"><\/span>Venus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of cats and social media, you&#8217;ve probably seen some of Venus&#8217; Instagram pictures. She has a unique face, two different colored eyes, and a split face. This Instagram sensation has landed her sponsorship deals and her very own calendar. The best part? She&#8217;s not the only one who&#8217;s famous. Venus&#8217; awe-inspiring photos have also earned her partnerships with brands.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s not the only famous feline on social media. Waffles the Scottish fold cat has a large following on Instagram, and she&#8217;s also a famous character. Waffles also dresses up in holiday and popular character costumes. And Venus is one of the most popular cats on Instagram thanks to her split tortoiseshell coat and two different color faces. Her pictures are so captivating that she&#8217;s even been featured on National Geographic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bear\"><\/span>Bear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons to follow Bear, the most popular cat on Instagram. He is a beautiful Bengal cat with a unique, rosetted coat and wild looks. His pictures are so gorgeous that they have gone viral! Bear&#8217;s owner, Martina Gutfreund, began posting pictures of him to Instagram almost as soon as he was adopted! Bear has also been active on the platform since 2014, when his owners first started following him.<\/p>\n<p>The first reason why Bear is the most popular cat on Instagram is his philanthropy. He made it to the front page of Reddit in 2012, where he captured the hearts of the internet. He later appeared on Good Morning America and grew even more famous. He made a difference in the lives of many people! Bear is not the only cat to become famous on the site. Bridavsky said that Lil Bub was an inspiration to millions of people, and he is now working hard to spread the word about how important it is to give back to the animal world.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"548\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LzuHlGuWPDw\" height=\"306\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the Most Famous Cat on Instagram?
