Taylor Swifts new kitten has stolen the collective heart of the Twittersphere, after the country singer tweeted a pic of herself with Meredith, her unreasonably adorable adopted kitten.

The 21-year-old country singer told her nine million followers that she was Hanging out with my new roommate, Meredith late last week.

Meredith, for the record, is a rare breed of kitty known as the Scottish Fold. I know from personal experience of trying to acquire one (for a friend, because IM A MANLY MAN AND ONLY KEEP ROTTWEILERS AND STUFF*) that these cats are rare as chicken teeth. A gene mutation in the breed leads to their ear cartilage containing a fold, which in turn leads to DAWWWWWW.

Anyway, the cats usually weigh in at around $1,000 for a healthy, vaccinated animal, with demand for the kittens exceeding supply. While Swift probably had no issue sourcing a Scottish Fold of her own, most people who want one often find themselves on waiting lists, and l! ittle wo nder just look at that damn thing.

And hey, Meredith already has a celebrity admirer. Upon seeing the pic, fellow pop star Katy Perry tweeted Swift to ask:

OH MY GOSH. Is this kitty for real!?!?

Yes! came the obvious reply from Swift, who added, And currently chasing her own tail. PS I miss you!

* It was totally for me.
