A cat with his own Facebook page and Instagram account is taking the Internet by storm thanks to his expressive eyebrows. Curious-looking Sam has racked up 150,000 Instagram followers and 530,000 likes on Facebook since bursting onto the scene in 2012.
Owner Amanda Collado, 26, from New York, has been handling the large amount of requests from fans and media for the past three years. She said, “There have definitely been situations where I have had to
ignore friends, family or work to take the time to do Sam's posts or answer emails on his behalf. Everyone gets a little annoyed when I'm on my phone and not paying attention to them. I never thought Sam would be
so popular.”
Amanda's mum, Ivette Rodriguez, noticed the abandoned cat outside her home one evening.
Ivette said, “I saw a little niche (壁龛) next to the house and there was a cat in there. He willingly gave himself up to me—I guess he was so tired of being outside.”
Amanda created an Instagram account for Sam after a friend pointed out his expressive brows. She said,
“I didn't notice his eyebrows initially.”
“He had about 800 followers at first—but in February someone posted his photo on Reddit and he blew up overnight—I woke up with 1600 followers. From there we made a Facebook and all other social
media accounts.”
Amanda posts pictures to Sam's account every two days, but spends most of her day keeping up with all of his fans. But the effort she puts into her pet's social media has paid off—and she has bigger plans for Sam's future, including merchandise (商品).
“Right now we're trying to share him in a free way. eventually we'll sell Sam merchandise, because I
know many people do like having cute little mugs, Sam mugs, or posters, T-shirts.”
一只拥有自己Facebook页面和Instagram账户的猫，由于其富有表情的眉毛，在互联网上掀起了风暴。长相好奇的山姆自2012年出道以来，在Instagram上拥有15万粉丝，在Facebook上获得53万点赞。
店主Amanda Collado，26岁，来自纽约，在过去三年里一直在处理粉丝和媒体的大量请求。她说：“在某些情况下，我不得不
忽略朋友、家人或工作，花时间为Sam发帖或回复电子邮件。当我在打电话而不注意他们时，每个人都会有点恼火。我从没想过Sam会
如此受欢迎。”
一天晚上，阿曼达的妈妈Ivette Rodriguez在家门口注意到了这只被遗弃的猫。
伊维特说：“我看到了一个小众(壁龛) 在房子旁边，里面有一只猫。他心甘情愿地把自己交给了我——我想他已经厌倦了在外面了。”
在一位朋友指出山姆富有表情的眉毛后，阿曼达为他创建了一个Instagram账号。她说，
“我一开始没有注意到他的眉毛。”
“他一开始有大约800名粉丝，但二月份有人在Reddit上发布了他的照片，他一夜之间就爆炸了。我醒来时有1600名粉丝。从那时起，我们创建了一个Facebook和所有其他社交网站
媒体帐户。”
Amanda每两天在Sam的账户上发布一次照片，但她一天的大部分时间都在关注他的粉丝。但她在宠物社交媒体上的努力得到了回报，她对山姆的未来有更大的计划，包括商品(商品).
“现在我们正试图以免费的方式分享他。最终我们会出售山姆的商品，因为我
知道很多人都喜欢可爱的小马克杯、山姆马克杯、海报、T恤。
