A mysterious figure has been on YikYak, and more recently Instagram, posting daily cat facts for the Arkansas State University students. 

Ronnie Tindel, a sophomore music education major from Jonesboro, is the man behind the cat account. 

Q: What made you start A-State Cat Facts? 

A: “Creating this account felt like another account to share things I love. I have an account where I spin my flag and talk about a lot of flag stuff on. So I asked YikYak if this was something I should make.”

Q: Why did you begin the journey on YikYak?

A: “I started on YikYak because I saw people doing little daily things and I just honestly thought cat facts would be cool! It’s a common pet so why not know something new about your furry little friend!”

Q: Where do you get your cat facts? 

A: “I look online for facts that come from a credible source. There’s many .edu websites that have factual facts.”

Q: What makes you interested in cats?

A: “I love cats. They are a mini version of a tiger! I just love all the different patterns in their fur and different colors. They are truly a great animal that can survive in the wilderness on their own!”

Q: Do you own a cat?

A: “I do own a cat! Her name is Effie! She’s a doll when she wants to be and loves dogs. She loves to play but when she has had enough she will let you know.”

Q: What’s your favorite breed of cat? 

A:  “I love tabby cats.” 

Q: What do you hope to gain out of A-State Cat Facts?

A: “I’m hoping to let people become knowledgeable about their cats!”

Q: What will happen to the account when you graduate? 

A: “I’m hoping to find someone to take over! If anyone wants to start like a cat fact club send them to me and I can get stuff going!”

Q: Do you have anything to add? 

A: “What I have to add is to be nice to your cats! They are precious and they are great animals! If anyone wants to start a cat club so we can have take over things and such, let me know!”
