Recently, a handsome boy named Marshall made his way to internet fame. Being the beautiful cat that he is, he caught the attention of Erika Strong, an employee at Shopify’s office in Toronto. Her office windows face another building, and in one of its apartments lives Marshall.

    This post, tweeted by Erika Strong, an employee at Shopify Toronto, has recently gone viral

    In her tweet Erika wrote that she stares out the office’s window at a cat that likes to sit on a windowsill. One day, she and her co-worker decided to ask the cat’s name by putting post it notes on the window with the question: “What is your cat’s name?”

    Before the winter holidays, she and her colleague asked for the name of the cat that sits on a windowsill in the next building

    And the cat’s family responded!

    “I died,” Erika said to the media. “I freaked out. Everyone was so excited because they all knew we’d been waiting.”

    Erika and her co-worker waited approximately 6 weeks for the answer

    Just after the tweet went viral, Erika wanted to let Marshall and his family know that he’s officially internet-famous now

    I love this! When I was younger my friends and I would carry poster board when riding in their moms car and write signs to people on the road like "you're pretty", "slow down" and "nice car" "hey candsome" haha. We were like, 10 or 11.

    Ask Marshall why all cats stare at a dark corner when there's nothing in the corner. My guess is that cat's can see our demons.

    I'd want to know if Marshall has a brother or sister, or if he fancies a 'job' as an office cat.

    That cat looks like it wants to slit its own throat. Is there any suspicion of animal abuse?

    Ever eat finger foods that are kinda messy, then you lick your fingers clean and then go to type on the keyboard and realize how gross that is? That's what happens when you knit your own toques into a pair of scissors.
