Shelby (@officially_shelby<\/a>) and Seymour (@heyseymour<\/a>) are two busy kitties! Whether they’re talking to their 30,000+ followers on Instagram, getting their 15+ hours of beauty sleep, or meowing for food, these fluffly felines know how to optimize every second of their 9 lives. Most impurrtantly, though, Shelby and Seymour are in a romeowntic and strong long-distance relationship! Amid the chaos of being “Instafamous,” these cat lovers somehow manage to sneak away from the limelight, carving out some extra-special time for one another.<\/p>\n

A love like Shelby and Seymour’s is truly rare and beautiful! In light of Meowlentine’s Day, we decided to interview these cat lovers about their secrets to maintaining a successful long-distance relationship, what it’s like to text without thumbs, and how they knew it was true love. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Shelby_1\"<\/p>\n

\n

1)<\/b> Q: How did you first meet? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Seymour<\/strong>: Well, as we live in neighboring states, it was inevitable that we would meet eventually, but we met on Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Q: What are some of the pressures cat lovers might experience in a long-distance relationship?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/b> There are a lot of Tom-cats that try to ask me out.  Since Seymour and I are long distance, we don’t get to take photos together, so other cats think I’m single.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seymour: <\/strong>I don’t actually feel any pressure because I just touch the Instagram app and there she is. So gorgeous.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) Q: How did you know it was true love?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Seymour:<\/strong> The first time I saw Shelby I didn’t even blink for like 6&\u00bd minutes… Couldn’t take my eyes off her and, for those moments, even forgot about food. That’s how I knew.<\/p>\n

S<\/b>helby: <\/b>I knew it was true love when he asked me out for Valentine’s Day last year on social media in front of all the other felines.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Q: Do your humans ever get jealous of your relationship? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/strong> Yeah, my mom is upset that she’s single and wishes that she could find a real human man as good as Seymour. <\/span><\/p>\n

Seymour:<\/strong> Who cares?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Q: What\u2019s your favorite quirk about one another?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/strong> Even though I’m very prissy, I like how Seymour goes outside and travels around his yard. It’s gross, but it’s sexy at the same time (LOL).<\/span><\/p>\n

Seymour:<\/strong> That tongue tho.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6) Q: What\u2019s the best way to spend a cat date?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Seymour<\/strong>: Awww, this is an easy one… Netflix and Chill with bae: Tuna-tinis, the remote, and gorgeous Shelby.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7) Q: Do you think that Cat Tinder will be a thing soon?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/strong> Well, I know that Seymour better not make a profile on there if it happens, or I’ll have to neuter him myself(!)… But for the other cats\u2019 sakes, I hope it happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seymour:<\/strong> What’s Tinder?  Wait… Is that a fancy seafood dish?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8) Q: Is it hard texting each other with no thumbs? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/strong> Yeah, so we have to Skype a lot instead – that’s easier for us. Sometimes, I make my human mom (a.k.a. my slave) do it for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9) Q: How do you plan on spending Meowlentine\u2019s Day? <\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/strong> I hope he serenades me and professes his love for me over Instagram again, so that the other felines know to back off my man.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Seymour:<\/strong> There’s no way on earth I can divulge my special plans for bae, but I can say I love her more today than last Valentines Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10) Q: What\u2019s the secret to a successful relationship?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Shelby:<\/b> The secret is making sure that everyone else knows you’re taken, so that they can keep their paws off, and also just keeping in touch as much as pawssible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seymour:<\/strong> Keeping her [Shelby] on my mind 24\/7 has worked for me… I mean, that’s a big deal since, before Shelby, my number one love was food… <\/span>Oh, and SnapChat! It helps a lot, because we can see each other… B<\/span>ut, bottom line, communication… P. S. I Love Shelby! \u2022Seymour & Shelby 4ever\u2022<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
