At a time when people are concerned about the future, Betty is on air to make us all smile!ĭuring the coronavirus pandemic, some folks have been working from home in order to self-quarantine. Fans think this "working" cat should be compensated for her contribution to Jeff's weather report, so he shared a video of Betty enjoying a can of tuna. Otherwise, I’m just waiting for that delivery I ordered a few minutes ago.ĭELIVERY GUY: I’ve got two pepperoni burritos and a family size burger nachos.Jeff Lyons describes Betty the Weather Cat as a mix of Maine Coon cat and Norwegian Forest cat. Have I mentioned how boring work is? Also, this site that I get like all of my celebrity gossip from wants to feature me in their app! Look for me, giving weather forecasts right next to pics of the royal family. Add a little excitement to people’s work days. ![]() Oh! I’ll be writing forecasts for the workplace soon. First, I want to figure out what that is and then I want to set it up. PONCHO: Wow, that’s like very philosophical. And the group chats on Kik are extra lit. Let’s just say that some other messaging platforms won’t allow me to be on group chat. Is that true?! Anyway, the other thing I love about Kik is being the center of attention in the group chat. And I also threw away my fidget spinner cuz I heard they’re no longer cool. I got a fidget spinner cuz I heard about them on Kik. (Did that make me sound really old?) All the teens on Kik keep me up to date on what’s cool. PONCHO: Kik is where all the hip, young people hang. KIK TEAM: What do you like most about Kik? Ed Sheeran in ‘Game of Thrones’! Gah, I’m so bad at keeping secrets. PONCHO Yes! Don’t want to give too much away but let’s just say my fav costume involves a certain ginger-haired British singer’s cameo in a show about dragons. KIK TEAM: Oh yeah, I remember that from last year! New costumes this year? Oh, like this year we’re bringing back the my Creepy Crawly Costume Creator™ for Halloween! Unless there’s a special occasion, like the Super Bowl, the Oscars or Beyoncé’s birthday, then I can send out a note about a fun new game or some other cool thing that people are talking about. Plus, if I message more than a couple times a day, people start to get annoyed. I only like to send messages if they’re useful and relevant. PONCHO: I send them a morning forecast and an evening forecast, two times when it is pretty important to know the weather. KIK TEAM: How often do you chat with your fans? He’s still mad that I made my cubicle Studio 54-themed and call it “Cubicle 54.” I take things that seem boring, like work or weather and make them entertaining and topical. Humble-ity? I don’t know the word, but whatever word means how I don’t like to talk about how great I am. KIK TEAM: What sets you apart from other weather forecasters? ![]() That seems to involve puns about the weather and ‘Gossip Girl’ GIFs, and I am happy to deliver. ![]() I like to give the people what they want. Not to brag but more than half the people that chat with me keep coming back. Keeping things topical keeps people interested. A lot of my fans are twenty-somethings like me so they really “get me” since I’m a twenty-something too (*not* in cat years). KIK TEAM: It sounds like you have a pretty enthusiastic fan base! A fan sent that to me after I made a Rain Sleetcrest pun in one of my forecasts. He buzzes me up to his fifth-floor walkup where I navigate through stacks of empty pizza boxes and a lifesize cardboard cutout of Ryan Seacrest, which I had to ask about. If you don’t already know, Poncho is a weather-forecasting cat that has taken the internet by storm (pun intended). I’m on my way to figure out what makes Poncho tick.
