Sit up straight? Heaven fur-bid! Introducing Shrampton, the floppy-eared feline with the laziest cattitude on Instagram



Move over Grumpy Cat, there's a new famous feline with a fancy attitude, and he's winning hearts all over Instagram.



Shrampton, based in Los Angeles, California, is a marmalade Scottish Fold - a breed instantly recognizable by their flattened ears - and this endearing three-year-old tomcat can often be found lounging around in a Buddha-like seated position.



'Shrampton is, first and foremost, a flopper,' owner Leilani Shimoda tells MailOnline. 'He's always done his signature flop move. We'll walk into the living room and he'll just be sitting there like he's a human at a dinner table, patiently waiting for a perfectly cooked steak.'

Can I help you? Shrampton (pictured) is a marmalade Scottish Fold - a breed instantly recognizable by their flattened ears - and his Buddha-like seating position has fast won him Instagram fame

Shrampton boasts over 23,800 Instagram followers and counting, and lives with his twin sister Bunni; a gray and white Scottish Fold with a similar affinity for sitting around in a very chilled out manor.



'Bunni does get some camera time on his Instagram feed, but she's shy compared to her boisterous brother,' says Leilani, a swimwear and lingerie designer for Wildfox.



'Shrampton is very adventurous and vocal; often running full-speed throughout the house, chasing his sister or some invisible ghost cat that only he can see.



'Like any good lad, he loves a spot of tea in the morning and some Greek yogurt. Over his three years, he's developed an affinity for fine scotch and vintage Jaguars.'

The comical combination of Shrampton's Buddha -like poses, which lend him an outlandishly nonchalant air, and the flattened ears - which paradoxically give him an intense, owl-like glare - are actually common characteristics of the breed.

All Scottish Fold's are originally descended from a single white barn cat called Susie, who lived in Scotland, the United Kingdom - thus Shrampton's affinity for scotch whiskey - in 1961.



Susie tragically met her end when she was hit by a car, but not before she bore kittens who shared her unusually floppy ears.



A new breed was thus cultivated and brought over to America, where they remain popular to this day for their exceptionally placid, intelligent, and affectionate nature. That, and their amusing posture preferences.

Scottish Fold kittens don't come cheap; costing anywhere from $300 to $3,000. Songstress Taylor Swift happens to own one called Meredith Swift; an adorable silver gray variety with her own 10,800-strong army of Twitter followers.



As for Shrampton, his star is quickly rising. Earlier this year, he attended the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas; where he made a cameo in a short film called The Network Diaries, starring alongside Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder.



For now, when he's not flopping around for the camera, he and his sister are joining Leilani on her various adventures. So far, they've been to Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, and skiing in Colorado.
