How many Facebook friends do you have? There’s a cat that has 869 friends on Facebook. Yes, a cat. This kitty goes by the name of Linus Hubbell, named after the blanket-toting Peanuts character, and is owned by campus neighbors Nick Hubbell and Audrey McManus. Linus became a social media sensation this year, much like Grumpy Cat, but on a more local scale. Linus isn’t shy. His growing list of friends on Facebook tag photos of him in various academic buildings around campus. He even gained the attention of Vermont author Chris Bohjalian, who wrote about Linus in the Burlington Free Press. Linus’s collar tag reads Friend Me on Facebook. So what are you waiting for?
