Take the Interview →
What's your best tweet?
Oh, golly. That's a tough one. Better ask my followers, especially the ones who retweet my tweets.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What are six things you could never do without?
My piano, yellow feather, catnip toys, vet visits, a cozy snug spot, Rennie, food and water, and of course Betsy and Burnell. Oops. That's 8.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I use Twitter to keep my many followers abreast of what's going on in my feline world of music. That includes new vids and appearances, etc.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What's your favorite Twitter app?
I guess that would be Twitter Tools or maybe HootSuite - anything that would make it easier for my personal assistant, Burnell.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Twitter or Facebook?
I have followers on one and fans on the other. I use and love both. Please don't make me choose.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
No comment.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What feature should Twitter add?
I'd have to ask Burnell about that.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
I haven't met them yet, if there are any. Seems like everyone I know is already on Twitter.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Hmmm...I shorten as little as possible.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Billy Joel. I know he's a fan. It would cool if he was a follower, too. I follow him.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
No, not to my knowledge. But Burnell doesn't tell me everything.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Why should we vote for you?
Vote your heart. If I've touched your world with my music, I'd be most happy to receive your vote. If not, vote for someone who has.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
I'll have to give that some thought.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
My connection with Milo & Alfie is pretty cool. And I love reading Arden Moore's tweets. She's a true friend to furry felines like myself.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
Hashtag? What in the world is that?
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How do you make your tweets unique?
I'm a cat with two human assistants. Oh, yeah...I play the piano, too. So that makes me unique. I hope that makes my tweets unique, too.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What inspires you to tweet?
I get excited when something new is happening in my life, with my music, or with my siblings, and I just have to share it.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
My fans are famous for yelling "More Nora! More Nora!"
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Tweet things you think are of interest to others. Unless you are a famous chef, what you had for breakfast might not qualify.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How long can you go without a tweet?
I wish I could tweet everyday, but, frankly, being a cat I am asleep about 18 out of every 24 hours.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What question are we not asking here that we should?
Hey, I've only got 6 hours of waking/working time here. I can't do your work, too.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Arden Moore
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Why'd you start tweeting?
My fans have inquiring minds. Tweeting helps me satisfy their curiosity. And you know what they say about curiosity and cats?
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
My many devoted fans and followers have changed my life. Twitter helps me stay in contact with them.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Vote for me.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
How will the world change in the next year?
The world will change to the same degree that we change. And in that order. I hope my music will be a CATylist for that change.
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Is that pas or paws?
Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Well, I'll be close to 16 years old at that time. I'd rather not think about it.
