The Internet has seen its share of viral cats over the years, from Grumpy Cat and Lil Bub to the fresh-faced Rey.

Sky seems to have no trouble attracting attention — the Instagram account sky_the_ragdoll has more than 44,200 followers on Instagram. Photos of the fluffy feline regularly attract thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
