While we’ve shown the canine community lots of love on HG, we’re also HUGE feline fans! If you’re a cat person at heart, there’s nothing cuter than snuggling up with your favorite kitty companion at the end of a long day, and we’ve definitely all been guilty of binge watching cat videos and going on an IG cat following spree… because the sass is real. But since most cats aren’t the outdoorsy type, Instagram is the best place to catch the adorable felines of the Mile Square. So without further ado, here are 10 Hoboken cats you need to follow on Instagram:
