Woman befriends neighbor's cat from afar amid quarantine

Twitter user Sian Cosgrove made a new friend during quarantine: the neighbor’s cat. She shared the story of how she came to befriend the creature without ever leaving her home. “What is the black [and] white cat called?” she asked the neighbors via a sign in the window. “Walter,” they eventually replied via a sign of their own. That wasn’t the end of Cosgrove’s interaction with Walter, however. In response to her neighbor’s note, Cosgrove wrote, “Great name. Walter is a handsome boy”. Evidently, Walter the cat has an Instagram now where you can go “for all your Walter-related updates,” Cosgrove noted. In less than 24 hours, “the cat across the road” has amassed nearly 6,000 followers
