A Mysterious Guest

Manny was actually a stray cat who walked onto Yorem and his wife’s property out of the blue.

It was actually Manny that made the decision for them.

“He just showed up one day and hasn’t left,” Yorem told ABC News.

Manny made himself right at home!

Part of The Pack

It didn’t take long for the gray tabby to become best friends with the couple’s other dogs and cats.

In fact, he was so friendly and lovable that he soon became the “alpha” of the pack!

Manny also started to make a regular appearances in Yorem’s Instagram photos.

Sometimes he’s pictured by himself, but he’s mostly pictured alongside different members of his fur family.

After only a few photoshoots, it became apparent to Yorem that Manny loved being in the spotlight.

“He is very curious, and whenever I take pics of my dogs, he basically ‘photobombs’ the camera and tries to take it from me,” Yorem told ABC News.

Yorem described Manny as “the most intelligent, inquisitive cat we’ve ever had”.

However, it wasn’t until a very special moment that the couple realized exactly how clever Manny was.

A Star is Born

One day, Yorem was out doing a regular photoshoot with his dogs and Manny.

It was just like any other photoshoot they’d had in the past, but this time, something very special happened.

“Manny learned to use the camera by chance when he reached out to touch the camera during a shoot one day,” said Yorem.

The result was a photo that looked like Manny was taking a selfie with the dogs!

When Yorem saw the photo, he couldn’t help but laugh at how funny it was.

He immediately uploaded it to Instagram, and before he knew it, thousands of people were laughing with him.

That was when Manny earned his title as the “Selfie Cat.”

Soon enough, Manny’s photos went viral.

He was instantly an internet sensation!
