FAQ
who is bongo cat?
a cat who loves to play the bongos (and other wonderful musical instruments)
who made bongo cat?
@StrayRogue and @DitzyFlama on twitter! rogue is the artist who drew bongo cat, and ditzy made the first bongo cat video!
do rogue and ditzy run @bongocat_?
nope! @bongocat_ is a fan-made twitter archive run by oni, who you can find on twitter at @orirow.
how do i make my own bongo cat?
here's a thread of bongo cat with various instruments that you can use to get started!
you can also check out bongo.cat (made by @Externalizable) to play as the cat yourself!
can I sell my own bongo cat merchandise?
bongo cat already has (limited) official merch! you can check it out here at bongo cat's emporium until oct. 1st.
otherwise, you can! the only requirement is that you give credit and link to the original artist of bongo cat, @StrayRogue.
in addition, don't forget to show your merch to them as well! they'd love to see what people are creating from their work! or go a step further and pay it forward—give your favorite charities a little love!
how do I submit my own bongocat to the archive?
DMing is the best way for me to catch it! please only DM a twitter link of a fanwork you've created, or the OP's original link. otherwise, if I see it in the #bongocat tag or under "bongo cat", I'll retweet it myself.
why don't you just repost the bongo cats yourself?
I do not repost other people's work, ie. through uploading directly on the @bongocat_ twitter, linking to youtube or instagram, or otherwise posting bongo cats on my own unless it is my own. reposting—especially without permission—is disrespectful and takes away recognition from the original creators.
any other questions? please feel free to DM me and I'll add them to the faq ٩( ‘ω’๑ ٩)
thank you~
