3-15-18 How do you get attention on Facebook? With a cat....

I am mystified by Facebook.  I admit to not always knowing or understanding what draws attention, especially when you’re trying to figure out what you can show in social media that will result in responses.

I often see that what my daughter made for dinner draws 20 or 30 “likes,” yet when I post incredibly cute pictures of my grandchildren or something else I find especially interesting, maybe I’ll get 10 or 15 “likes” (although some of my grandkid and daughter photos have occasionally gotten more).

A couple of years ago we got a cat from the WAIF Cat Cottage in Freeland. My children and grandchildren still get a few likes when I post their photos, but it is really the pictures of Dash our cat that garner attention. The latest photo just shows him sitting elegantly on the piano bench...and the picture definitely won my "like" contest for the week.

If you’re a young person and into our Facebook and other social media, you can probably post just about anything to receive a lot of responses.

If you’re in my generation, I guess if you want to have more responses to your Facebook posts, just add a cat or two.
