"I had no intention to adopt a cat that
day. I just liked being around animals." Miranda says. But when she saw
Nala in her metal cage, "We made eye contact and I couldn't resist (抗拒) her big blue eyes." At that
point, "Nala was so small. I asked the shelter if I could hold her. Once I
had Nala in my arms, Nala looked up at me and licked (舔) my face." And that was when she
knew she had to take this kitty home.
Still, Miranda never imagined Nala would
become an Insta-star. "I started Nala's Instagram
account
in 2012 as a way to share photos with my close friends and family in
Thailand," she explained. The possibility of Nala gaining attention beyond
that small group of people hadn't occurred to her until it happened.
Miranda says, "Each time Nala's photo was
featured on Instagram's popular page, her account would gain 1,000 new
followers." From there, Nala's popularity snowballed. Large nationwide
brands messaged Miranda about hiring Nala to do ads. "This took us by
surprise because we couldn't believe that a big brand wanted to pay them to
take photos with their products next to Nala".
Nala
started life out in a shelter, just waiting to be loved like many other animals
that were abandoned. Today that dream has surely come true. Nala has
over 4 million followers on Instagram, which earned her the title
"Guinness World Records Most Popular Cat on Instagram."
In
addition to managing her Insta fame, Nala is being asked to test various cat food
brands. More importantly, "Nala is our chance to share the love to help
create a better life for other animals, so they can grow well and bring joy to
the world like Nala has."
