Ok, so you’ve got a twitter account, or three, but how about your pet cat? Does your cat Tweet? Maybe your dog shares his insights and opinions.
This is not as far fetched as it might seem.
Mary Hodder, a web entreprenuer has her entire household wired. She transcribes her cats actions and opinions.

Here’s some of the latest from Ms. Hodder’s flock of Felines 2.0:

CalibanTheCat: I hate the rain. wet kitty smell. ON ME!

MimiTheCat: (who tweets only in Haikus): quiet black cat / a day free of bullying / ummm, you ok pal?

Pantherthecat: @sparklecat so far.. it’s only hyroid medicine. think of it. they’ll put it in my mouth and i’ll hiss at them. twice a day. for life.

arielthecat : @Pantherthecat running away from youz scary kitties.. yr already dressed for halloween!

(Twitter users, human or otherwise, use the @ sign to indicate they are replying to a message from someone else.)

There are entire networks devoted to animal social interaction. Places like Dogster and Catster. There are even cats on MySpace.

I guess even our many footed friends just want to connect and reach out as well. Who knew!
