Westchester NY Natives' Cat Catches Cult Following Online

SCARSDALE, N.Y. - A cat that comes straight out of Scarsdale has Hollywood in his sights after collecting a cult following on social media and becoming an Internet sensation on Instagram .

Since being introduced to the world via social media more than a year ago, Penguino , a 3-year-old cat that loves the camera has garnered nearly 13,000 followers on Instagram, where photos and videos of him have swept through the Internet.

Adopted by Scarsdale natives Alex and Kassy Ruminy, Penguino - whose birthday happens to land on Purim - has been described as a combination of playful or laid back, depending on his mood and how hungry he is.

“People tend to see his value right away. Shortly after meeting him and discovering that he is as cute as promised, they realize that he is also insane and exhaustingly vocal,” Alex - who is a software engineer at Daily Voice - mused. “My sister and I consult each other (about what to post), and are typically on the same page. It’s not hard to be, because the camera loves him.”
